The're all too damn close. It's more a measurement of traction than overall straight line performance. 

Non of which  you said requires brake torquing or using a launch control to get up to speed. I get what you're saying but when we're talking a tenth or two it's pretty stupid. 

I'd prefer 1/4 mile time w/ MPH. It still includes starting from a stop but there's more than 1 gear change to consider, the mph can say a lot about where the power is in the power band(3.5 EcoBoost vs 6.2GM), and aero plays a role at those speeds. 

Just how irrelevant is 0-60?  Over the weekend I was moving about the city in the Encore. Guy pulls around in a Camaro SS with some sort of exhaust upgrade... making all sorts of noise. Light turns green and we're both off.  Of course he has a nose ahead of me, but then there is a bus in his lane and I get to keep going while he's on the brakes.   I could have been in my Toronado which measures 0-60 with a sundial and the outcome would have been the same.  

That's what 99% of driving is like.

I'm not saying I don't want to know it, but stick that number in the sidebar and don't even bother talking about it in the copy.
