The latest Mercedes V12's and V8/12 AMG's can run all run 0-60 in under 5 secs and ~12 sec 1/4 miles.

Yeah, but how many of them are still factory...
I was impressed with my 1996 Impala SS which did 7 sec 0 to 60 and I think around 14 for the 1/4 stock. It is amazing what is going on these days. All I can say is that the USA better start getting more muscular.
