WGAF about 0-60? Any number you read in a magazine can be beaten or not achieved on any given day at any given time.
It doesn't really mean anything except as a variable point of reference. Know whatta mean?
If your car goes 0-60 in 5 flat and loses in the quarter to a car that goes 0-60 in 5.5, what then?
Anyone who can feel the difference between 0-60 in 5.1 and 5.3 in day to day driving without instrumentation is a better man than me.

I have always thought 0-60 is a "rookie's" way of bench racing two vehicles.
Give me 1/4 miles, 20-80, 5-60, 0-120, ... anything but 0-60. It's not a good indication of ANY vehicles overall performance.

it's when you pull next to a neon srt4 for example and u want to know if you can beat him to the street's speed limit or to the next light or not. that's what it is.
in a track what you said is valid and you have to add handling and all sort of things. but on the street i dont care if my car will whoop the neon at 140 mph, coz we wont even get there!

But who street races to 60 mph? First, I believe street racing is pretty much lame. It becomes even lamer when two "tough guys" try racing to the street's speed limit.
And when I mentioned performance, I was only reffering to acceleration.
I think people see 0-60 as an easy way out for non-technical people. i doubt most people can trully understand and anaylize many aspects of a cars acceleration. Which leads them to conclude that 0-60 is all that matters.
