Not according to 50+ years of road, magazine, and manufacturer testing. 0-60 MPH has been a performance benchmark ever since cars started hitting 60 MPH in a relatively short amount of time.
Alot of things happen before 60 MPH during acceleration and it's a good way to determine the capability of a car. Anything after 60 MPH is simply hitting your shifts right and keeping the gas floored.

Stock SS's typically hit 60 MPH in the high 4's if they are launched correctly. Some testing has shown 4.5-4.6 but that's with perfect modulation of clutch/gas and perfect weather/track conditions.
