1) It is a reflection of how well a car can access it's power, i.e. traction
2) 60 mph represents the maximum legal speed in much of the U.S. (unfortunately) so 0-60 gives some feel for the day-to-day "punch and go"



0-xxx is worthless IMO in US/Germany...

In twisties, 30-80MPH is relevant coming out of curves....and brake pedal feel/fade resistance/stopping dists are relevant in corner entry speeds...

On CA urban fwys, 60-120MPH accel is useful daily for navigating "holes" in traffic....and on derestricted AB, 60-180MPH+ accel is relev when escaping a clump of traffic (doubt anyone is at 0MPH start on AB/fwy )...

0-60MPH may be useful for guys stoplight drag racing in lovely places like OrangeCty, FL and other "flyover zones"....
