It is very strange, then, that I never observe this in the real world. The Insight is supposed to do 0-60 in 10-11 sec, yet when I'm at a red light next to one of these things, when it turns green, somehow I seem to be a hundred yards down the road before the behemoth has crossed the intersection - and that's without me even trying!
