genuinely curious, like what? I think they're even more competitive up to speeds under 60. Are you saying quarter mile is just as important? Or that acceleration itself isn't everything in "performance"?
Right, but that's not under $55k. There's no question you can get a car that will beat a TM3P at Nurburgring for more money.... The question is, can you find one for the same or less money?
Next, is it one you can comfortably pickup groceries and take the family for a road trip?
Acceleration is nice for drag racing or beating the guy next to you at a stop light. If you actually want to go to a track or just enjoy hitting some windy mountain roads, weight, handling, and braking become a lot more important.
For normal every day driving pretty much every car handles well enough. Few people are taking corners with the tires screaming (and those that are get looked down upon of being unsafe or whatever). It's acceleration that really makes a car more convenient to daily drive. When you have tons of acceleration things like taking turns into fast moving traffic or merging around that dunce who decided to come to a stop at the end of the ramp become non-issues.
