While googling, I found out a pretty interesting (somewhat already outdated though) article saying that the zero-to-sixty is actually not so much important as people usually consider so often.

I have no idea for technical things. I am just an ordinary daily driver who sometimes enjoy my own spirited driving - especially accelerated merging into freeway (exactly as mentioned in that article).

Recently I see so many 'cars' even the daily sedans like Camry, Altima, Accord have all pretty good zero-to-sixty records. It seems like the fact that a car can make zero-to-sixty within 6~7 secs does not look so impressive anymore.

But after I had read that article, I just got to wonder whether the 'real' on-road performance of a car can really be different from the often emphasized zero-to-sixty or not.

* In that article, a Porsche was mentioned. But I don't want to look down to Porsche at all. I believe all cars have their good and bad. I hope it would not make any unnecessary trouble here.
