not really. the ring is more driver dependent and too long to be consistent. at least a 0-60 time tells you something tangible and combined with the knowledge of transmission shows you how much power will be available. 0-60 happens way more often in daily driving than anything you would experience racing around nurburg. maybe well just have to agree to disagree but i feel at the end they are both just used as marketing ploys
