most people drive most of the time on the streets and do not use launch control, so 5-60mph is a good indicator of how quick a car is in real world conditions.Here is something else to consider why 5-60 is better indicator of performance: 0-60 is measured with a 1 ft rollout, meaning the timer starts after the car has traveled 1 foot from the starting line and ignores some of the wheel spin and time lost. In fast cars 1 ft rollout equals to 0.2-0.3 seconds but we both know that 3 seconds is 3 seconds not 2.8 or 2.7 because of the rules used to measure it.Car and Driver tested a stingray coupe Z51 at 0-60 of 2.8 sec with 0.2 sec 1 ft rollout and Z06 HTC non-z07 at 0-60 in 2.7 sec with a 0.3 sec 1ft rollout which means both cars took exactly the same 3 seconds to get to 60mph. But when you look at 5-60 stingray did it in 3.5 and z06 in 3.1
