0 - 60 gives a ball park figure of how fast a car is going to be but very vague.
0 - 100 is a lot better
Anyhow its easy to drive a car in a straight line  You'd be gutted if you spenty money on a fast car and found out it handled worse than a milk float on ice
are you saying the 350Z is like a milkfloat 0-100 isnt really a good indication of VEHICLE PERFORMANCE either, its in-gear speed and the way it transfers the power down to the tarmac, whether it be sprinting in a straight line or hammering it round corners

where did i say anything about the 350 
was agreeing with your 0 - 60 comment..
since most average day cars top out at 120 to 140mph I'd say 0 - 100 is a good idea of performance, although yes better results can be made on in gear tests.
a car wont have a good 0 - 100 time if its performance is shit, unless its down to the gearing and I don't know of many cars that pull well to 100 then just stop
