The least powerful BMW I sell today will do 6.3 and that's an SUV rated at 228HP.
My 1975 Pontiac Trans Am with an automatic and 400 cu in engine took over 11 seconds to hit 60!!!

Today my 3400 pound 315hp VW Golf R will do it in under 4 seconds according to Car and Driver… Can’t say, but I certainly hang on when I put my foot into it. All that is big fun, but as you know seriously powerful brakes that don’t fade are what makes it possible to go way faster!
