The sole exception might be when you're towing.
With modern vehicles, you are faster than 90%+ of people depending how far down you are willing to put your foot on the accelerator. There's so many EV on the road taking 20+ seconds to reach 100 kmph when they're all capable of easy <6.
Certain vehicles may seem slower with lower HP, but with all else equal except AWD, a bunch of that just goes away.
Too many people want to have a fast car while only ever using eco mode and <20% of the range of their accelerator pedal. They spend more money to get better specs on paper to avoid using sport mode and the rest of the accelerator pedal. IMO, it's weird.
