The modern stuff is insane. ICE's have basically been perfected at this point.
The best way to truly gauge how fast or how much power a car makes is to look at its trap speed in a 1/4 mile. A lot of car testers will also include a 5 - 60 mph acceleration figure which is more representative of not being at a stop, one foot on the brake and the other on the gas to raise the revs (and boost), etc.
A good example of this is the Tesla dual motor cars. The Model 3 and Model Y performance variants are much quicker than my car is to 60 mph given they have AWD and instant torque. I have also had a few fun runs with those cars on the highway and I pull on them at any point other than from a dead stop.
