you mean 0-60mph? Thats the standard in the automotive world.

I have a site that lists most 1/4 mile times..

0-60 is tha standard in the american car world...euro car world and the rest of the metric world (pretty much everywhere but the states) use the 0-100kmh

pretty much depends what measurement system the country uses... we are the exception cause we use metric officially but since we suck we still use imperial cause the US does

to me 0 to 60 means ****, its all about who gets the better launch and traction, 20 to 100 mph is more like it

I've heard of some cars being geared to shift at 60mph...so in europe or any other metric countries it takes an extra shift to get to 100km/h (62 mph) which adds extra time...So a car have a significantly slower 0-100km/h than its 0-60 mph.
