“Roaring powertrain which accelerates the car from 0 to 60 mph in 6 seconds...”

In September 1985, that was actually fast .

A Ferrari 328 GTB did 0-60 in 6.0: http://www.autosnout.com/Figures-Specs/Ferrari-328-GTB-3-2-V8-1986/1586

A Ferrari Mondial 3.2 (which, seeing as it’s a 2+2, is a better comparison arguably) did 0-60 in 6.8: http://www.autosnout.com/Car-Performance-Statistics.php?EditionID=864

Although a few years earlier, a 1983 Lamborghini Jalpa did 0-60 in 7.2: https://www.zeroto60times.com/vehicle-make/lamborghini-0-60-mph-times/

And then you did have Porsches, a 1984 911 Carrera did it in 5.6: http://www.autosnout.com/Figures-Specs/Porsche-911-Carrera-1984/462

Or a 911 Turbo was silly fast, doing it in 5.1: http://www.autosnout.com/Figures-Specs/Porsche-911-Turbo-SE-930-1986/1436

Oh I know, I’m just reveling in the age we live in for cars. The language just strikes me as humorous in retrospect.

6 seconds will still get you out in front of everything else at a stoplight.
