Of all the stats that I see regarding vehicles of any kind, the most amusing one is about top speeds and 0-60 times. I have owned most kind of vehicles between a Camry Hybrid and a Corvette C7 and a Boxster. I could take the C7 to 150 and I have taken the Boxster to 125. Given that everywhere in the US there are speed limits and the cops are very interested in handing out tickets like Halloween candy, the chances of using any of those capabilities is very little unless you are taking the vehicle to a track, which most people do not have the opportunity or need to. The three speeding tickets that I have had over the past 20 years, two were in a Toyota Avalon Hybrid and the other was in the C7. The speed was between 55 and 75 mph. It is all a matter of where you get caught! Maybe I am getting older and these things do not matter much to me anymore.
