The Talon's 0-60 time (6.7 seconds) is taken launched from 2500 RPM.
I GUARANTEE you I can make that car perform better, by dropping the
clutch at 5000 RPM.  I have driven both Preludes (My moms) and my Talon,
and know for a fact you can't launch a Prelude that way.  I'd be willing
to bet I can shave two tenths of a second off 0-60 time by launching at
higher RPMs.
