Unless you are street racing 0-60 doesn't tell you a lot. After all, it barely gets you into 3rd gear in a lot of cars. I used to work with a guy who actually looked at 0-30 so he knew if he could beat people at a traffic light.
Rolling, transitional speeds are much more important day to day. 30 to 50 is something you use all the time, so are 40 to 60/70 and 50 to 80.
Plus a lot of cars are geared to give you great off the line punch but have nothing to pass with. Real driving isn't a drag race.
