yeah it accelerates pretty quickly, I dominate everyone out of the hole. 5.4 is about right with an average driver. If you aren't reving and launching, then your car wont feel as fast. But sit beside any car that is rear wheel drive and has a decent amount of hp. I blew the doors off my friends modded Rx-7 till I shifted into 3rd, right after 60mph, then he flew past me. It's the beauty of AWD, that's why they are called dig cars.

5.4 is about right with an amazing driver on a stock WRX, someone who works for a car magazine and drives for a living. Nonetheless the car is quick out of the hole, on average I wanna say around 6 seconds 0-60.

I am by no means an outstanding driver, and I did not sidestep the clutch I launched it at 3,800 and got a 5.6 0-60 (stock)

yeah, when I try to get a quick 0-60 I'm coming out of the hole at 5,500rpms slipping the clutch. by no means is that normal driving, but that will get you a hell of a good 0-60
