I've never tried the hard launch, either.

But the fact (in that article) that the five-to-sixty took longer than its zero-to-sixty is pretty interesting to me.

Someone in the comments made clear why that is - in 5-60 the car is stuck in the low RPM area where it produces less power. On a 0-60 the car is launched already at higher RPM/power range.

This is insane!
