I love how quickly we got used to mind-bogglingly quick acceleration figures. You just basically said "pff" to 1.9 seconds 0-100 km/h. That's remarkable as fuck no matter what. It's really difficult to accelerate that quickly because you only have so much contact with the ground. Engineering Explained on YouTube has talked about acceleration and braking and traction etc several times if you want to watch some interesting stuff on that topic.
