Opinion: 5 to 6 Seconds 0-60 MPH Isn’t Really THAT Slow

I’m seeing more and more people talking about how 0 to 60 in 5 seconds is “slow”. In my mind, this really isn’t slow. Think about it – a lot of sporty cars from the 2000s ran 0-60 in 5 seconds or 6 seconds. Now, we have many regular cars like the Camry V6 and crossovers are this quick nowadays.

I believe the main issue here is that we now live in a world where we have Teslas and Porsches that do 0 to 60 in 2 SECONDS or so, making a 5 to 6 second 0 to 60 SEEM slower. But keep in mind – many of those EVs and supercars that are that fast cost well over six figures, which is well outside of most normal individual’s budgets. I’m willing to bet that if you bought something like a Honda Accord Sport with its 2.0 turbo engine and floored it, that most of your passengers will be surprised at how quick it is for a mainstream vehicle.
