So, I would hope that this little truck would be in the 8 to 10 second range. Otherwise, hauling any kind of weight or towing a trailer would knock this thing on it's arse.

Agree, anything more than 10ish seconds is gonna be a tough to deal w/, at least here in the New England Megaplex (Boston-Hartford-NYC corridor) where ya don't get a break trying to merge... On the other hand, we do have many Priuses (Prii?) and I think they're pretty laggy also.
Pretty sure my F350 can do better than 9 seconds to 60, but then, other than a big-rig, who's gonna challenge me when I pull out...?
