Quite the opposite, the laggy cars normally get better 0-60, 1/4 mile numbers than what they're capable of in the real world, because in the testing, the 4wd grips off the line and the launch control mask the turbo lag well.
Exactly true. Look at the Audi RS3 as example...3.5-3.7s 0-60 but has horrible lag in the real world (doesn't help that there's transmission lag as well).
