Is this true ? : Zero-to-sixty actually doesn't matter so much ?

Heck no, it's not true. WHat do you do all day when driving - accelerate. Usually from a stop.

Heck the author completely neglects quarter mile times (suggests right up front that all anyone cares about is top speed and 0-60). BS. The same 0-60 ability is largely similar to the acceleration you'll get from a roll (sans traction issues off the line), which is also largely similar to the quarter mile times/traps you'll get. It's rare to find a car that does super-fast in either 0-60 or quarter mile that isn't also good in the other.

Although he does make an interesting point with the 918 being slower from 5-60 than from 0-60. But comments below the article make clear why; the car is stuck in the lower-end of the RPM range in a 5-60 contest.
