For the past 7 years or so there has been this huge battle who makes the fastest fwd hot hatch on the ring.
So no, they arent defined anymore by their 0-60 times. they are now defined by their track times.

They cant match say an m3's 0-60 time but they have been kicking its butt for years now on the nordschleife....
I dont know if you've ever been there but especially the success of the megane rs makes you think you're in france if you drive around there, looking at all the renault signs at garages and such....
