Yeah but most cars are quicker 0-30 than you are.

When you're drafting, it's VERY hard to keep up with a car accelerating to 30-35. It's like a sprinter vs. car. The sprinter wins to 20 or 30 meters, but the car wins overall. (Actually I'm not sure if the car wins in the following video, but it's worth a watch anyway for... reasons...)
