acceleration rates. acceleration speeds is like, kinda sort grammatically incorrect.

It's grammatically correct, but conceptually incorrect (sorry, it's always fun to correct a correction :)
They're both incorrect, I think. Acceleration rate would be the rate of change of the rate of change of speed, or what is known as 'jerk' in engineering. I guess that would be the time that it takes to go from 0 to the '0-60 in 1.8s' acceleration? The correct term is simply 'acceleration' on its own.
