IMO, 0-60 is a silly thing to measure nowadays. With today's powerful cars, most will easily spin the wheels off the line. This means that there are huge variables between tests: surface Cf, tire choice, tire pressure, all have a huge affect on how quickly a car will go from 0 to 60. You can eliminate these variables by doing a, say, 50-100mph test.
For example: A Nissan GTR goes 0-60 very very fast because it is AWD and has sticky tires from the factory. A Corvette Z06 suffers greatly from 0-60 because it is RWD and has rock hard runflats. Overall, which car accelerates faster? The Vette. But 0-60 tests make the Nissan appear faster.
