depends... these are just benchmarks that car industries (and car magazines) have accepted as standard. so they are really the only basis we have to compare. not all companies list their 1/4 mile time, or trap speeds on their official web sites.
i think he was just using it is a point of reference.

in those areas of which you speak. They just seem to go together.
One would hope an engine that can start from 0 to 60 at 4.3sec, and sustain
the acceleration power up from 60 to 120mph. Mag fanboys or true enthusiasts fanboys (Yes you read me right...
I dont see a difference in either IMO. They are both fans of something.:lol)would like this in a car.
It would be great that this engine would do that. A 1/4 mile in the 13.2 to 12.9 range would be great, and a trap speed of 106, 107mph or more...would be nice...stock....
