I've noticed when many people compare acceleration times between two vehicles they focus on 0-60 and ignore 1/4 mile. I think both are equally important and always compare both.
I realize modern muscle cars are capable of getting well above legal speeds in the 1/4, but I don't think I've ever found myself in a race that ended before 60mph, except against a few ricers.
So why all the attention on 0-60?
