If you care about acceleration, then look at electric car acceleration.
I disagree with you, as driving a vehicle is a privilege. You are taught to pass yet the majority of the drivers don't see this. There is the first issue. Look how many hours it takes to pass the driving test in Germany compared to here.

It's having more power than you need. Buy an adequate hatchback with a 1.4 or 1.6l engine instead of a 3 litre twin turbo which does 0.60 in under 5 seconds. In other words, take the big dick energy out of car culture, grow up and be reponsible. Recognise that Top Gear is not a documentary. Change your habits without waiting for nanny state to force you. The next generation don't have enough time to wait for governments to stand up to oil and car lobbies. It takes 10 or 20 years to force change. But many individuals can change their habits right now. It's just gobsmacking that so many individuals who can afford a sensible car are still making fucked-up, selfish, ignorant choices. They have all the information at their fingertips. But they think that buying a sexy car is more important than condemning people to death.
