Clarkson hasn't convinced me of anything. 0-60 has traditionally been one
measure of a car's performance. Nothing more or less. You can use it to
compare with others, that's all. Perhaps more important is the overtaking
ability from say 30-50. Cars which are slow in doing so are dangerous.

And, unless you're a boy racer or an Essex tart, whether it's cool or
not is of no interest.

The 'cool' board on TG is a bit of fun. You know what that is?
