I'm not either. But 0-60 is a good benchmark measurement of how fast a car can accelerate. Unless the vehicle in question is massively powerful and overwhelms its tires or has extremely low torque 0-60 is something to go off of in comparing the car without driving it. If 0-60 takes 7 seconds its a given that you're not gonna get hard shove into your seat when doing a full throttle acceleration from 50-70 mph, or 80-100.
