Turbo lag remains a problem when you compare 0-60 mph against 5-60 mph times
A study finds that many cars reach 60 mph faster when they’re starting from a dead stop than when they’re rolling along at 5 mph. Turbocharged vehicles are up to 2 seconds slower to 60 mph when they're rolling. As a result, owners may experience slower-than-expected acceleration when they’re pulling away from the lights. Can you imagine anything that in which a Mitsubishi Mirage is better than a Porsche 718 Cayman T? Well, acceleration certainly isn’t one of them.
