2012 Automotive Performance Comparison Chart

Automotive metaperformance is based on a combination of quarter mile drag times, 0-60mph (or 0-100kph) acceleration times, braking distances and closed-course lap times.

In general, cars ranking highly in this category are designed breathe fire, exchange expensive tires for clouds of smoke, and intimidate everything else on the road into submission.

In summary, metaperformance is a simple representation of race-inspired performance, on a scale from 0-100 (higher is better).
