Certainly in the last few years the bar has been raised by many cars, hell the lowly new Camry SE V6 can run a 14.5 and trap at 100 MPH. The Mustang GT500 is the fastest Mustang EVER made, LS1 F bodies run low 13's, EVO, STI, the SRT8 cars, CTSV, GTO.......The thing I love most is how this sedan has performance - that even 15 years ago - was in "supercar" range.
Seriously, think back to the old Ferrari 328 or 512TR. Remember those? the 328 was 0-60 in like mid 5's to 6 and the TR was like 5 on the nose, and the latter with a V12! Despite the bickering on the Roush thread (thanks Mods for moving that, BTW), I am enamoured of this car.
It's amazing what a few years of technology can do!
I wonder what the Mazda speed series will look like in 10 years from now??? Imagine it, a Speed with 0-60 at 3.5Hehehehe

What I really like about the MS6

Electric?
Better enjoy what we have now. I lived through the late 70's/early 80's when some years a 16 second quarter was the fastest car you could reasonably buy new. The resurgence of the performance car started with the '82 Mustang GT, which put out a whopping 150hp and did 0-60 in over 8 seconds.
A lot will happen over the next 15 years, and higher performance may be measured in MPG or dollars per mile, not 0-60. Performance will go out the door when gas hits $5.00 a gallon.
I traded in my 2004 Acura TL for the MS6 and am very happy.
My wife drives a 2004 Infiniti G35.
We looked at both the 2007 TL-S and 2007 G35-6MT.
Both those cars were close to $40k loaded.
While the MS6 was $28k loaded (net of rebates).
Plus AWD!
