HAHAHAHAHAHA.

I would say EVERY CAR accelerates slower from a 5 mph roll than from a dead stop. Why? You are not in your torque curve.

When you launch from a stop, you can immediately put the engine where you want the power to be until the wheels grab traction.

From a roll, you are stuck at whatever rpm you took off from. And the meaning of turbo lag for MANY turbo cars.
