Default 0-60 are misleading

Hey guys i have been doing some research for my future purchase on a used GS450H. I have realized wow this car is fast. I am always seeing numbers thrown out there in regards to 0-60 times. Then i realized that many companies have perfected launch control making these cars so fast from 0-60. Then i realized 5-60 times (also known as street starts) are an excellent way to see how fast a car really is around town. Here are some numbers. For comparison look at a 340i it has a 0-60 of 4 seconds but really its 5-60 its just as fast as a 2 ton Lexus hybrid. This car really is quite impressive.

2013 GS450H
0-60 = 5.7
5-60 = 5.9

2014 BMW 535d
0-60 = 5.6
5-60: 6.3

2014 BMW 535i Xdrive
0-60 =5.3
5-60 = 6.2

2014 Cadillac CTS 3.6
0-60 = 6.0
5-60 = 6.3

2014 Mercedes E350
0-60 = 6.0
5-60 = 6.4

2014 Audi A6 3.0T
0-60 = 5.6
5-60 = 6.0

2016 GS350 Fsport
0-60 = 5.8
5-60 = 6.2

2016 BMW 340i
0-60 = 4.8
5-60 = 5.9

The older GS450h is even faster than the current one. They slowed the newer ones a bit to increase fuel efficiency.
