:
I suspect the reason is that if 0-60 times were advertised,
we would see something like the following:

Joe Leadfoot tries to check 0-60 time against the ad and
    hits something more solid than a raindrop.

Joe sues the advertiser for encouraging him to do something
    illegal and stupid.

Joe wins the suit.(!)

Our court system has declared repeatedly that people are no longer
responsible for their own stupidity.  For example, if you stick your
foot under the lawnmower, it is the fault of the mower manufacturer.
Therefore, I have to pay $20 more for a mower with a blade brake
clutch and a starter rope on the handle.

Maybe this should go in net.flame, but I am responding in my 
inimitable style to an article in net.auto.

P.S.  I believe there is a suit pending against a pistol manufacturer
      for an accidental shooting.
