The normal usage for that acronym here is "acceleration boost". The poll also seems to assume that increasing .5 seconds from 3.1 to 2.6 is just as easy as it was to increase from 4.0 to 3.5 for the Model 3 Long range AWD model, ignoring the fact that as you get faster, it gets harder and harder to go faster.I'm still trying to figure out what AB is.

I feel that all car should get a boost soon as most of the newer ICE cars are getting closer to the HP/TQ output Tesla.
Which newer ICE cars are you referring to?
I guess the Challenger SRT Hellcat Redeye is getting near M3P levels... but it'll probably drop its transmission all over the ground if someone ever actually stomped on the gas pedal.

The Camaro ZL1- which is 3.5 or 3.6 depending which car mag tests it, and is priced around 62k base model.
lets go ahead and add the new nissan Z on here as well with 400HP as LRAWD ~ 350 HP and Performance 450ish HP..So... never then.
Most legacy companies have abandoned development of new ICE powertrains at this point. There's never going to be a point that "most' ICE cars are close to 3-AB or 3P performance.
Below is something I wrote a bit over a year ago-- I know Tesla has raised prices a couple k since- and I haven't kept that close on eye on current ICE, but I suspect it's still reasonably accurate
So the quickest new cars for sale under 60k:
1. C8 base corvette- $59,995, 0-60 in ~3 flat.
2. Tesla Model 3 Performance- $56,990, 0-60 in ~3 flat (but 1/4 mile is .2 slower than vette)
3.... Tesla Model 3 LR AWD with accel boost- $53,900, 0-60 in ~3.5.
Even if you raise the price cap to 99k and (other than different vette variants) there's only 2 other cars worth looking at for this list-
The Chalenger Hellcat Redeye- which is $71,300 and lists a 3.4 0-60, but every car mag that tested couldn't beat 3.7 in actual testing. Allegedly with Mickey Thompsons and a prepped track it'll do better, but not in real life.
The Camaro ZL1- which is 3.5 or 3.6 depending which car mag tests it, and is priced around 62k base model.
Oh, funnier- I'm pretty sure 4 and 5 on the quickest cars under 60k would be:
4. Audi RS3- $56,200, 0-60 in ~3.7
5......Tesla Model 3 LR AWD without accel boost- $51,900, 0-60 in 3.9

2023 Nissan Z arrives with 400 hp, retro styling, optional blue or red interiors
The 2023 Nissan Z will boast 400 hp, a manual transmission, and an amalgam of design cues inspired by past Z cars.www.motorauthority.com
Your link said:Nissan said the Z's 0-60 mph time has improved by 15%, which should put it in the low 4-second range.
