I highly doubt that, manufacturers and media still quote 0-60 as some notable figure.

I don't think 0-60 is going anywhere. It's what most people remember, and are comfortable with.
That said.. just because the imperial system is ubiquitous doesn't mean it's good.

When you start comparing 0-60 times in, say the 2.5-3.5 second range, that number becomes more and more unreliable since plenty of other factors play a bigger role. For example, car that runs a 3.2 or a 3.3 one day, and a 3.5 another day is a bigger deal than the gap between a 6.5 and a 6.7 time.

His car is insane. Beautiful. Has the carbon trim and just about every option. I was a little jealous but only in that I'd love to have that car. He deserves it. He's been through a lot, persevered, and is incredibly generous to his family that honestly are a bunch of fuckups. So him doing something nice for himself like this is not normal. I was happy for him that he finally treated himself to something really nice. He works his ass off.

I drove one for the first time a few weeks ago and really enjoyed it.

After racing on a road course I unfortunately have very little interest in just driving a supercar on the street. It would undoubtedly be an unforgettable experience. One that you can brag to all your friends about. But I don't feel like you're getting the real thing

The challanger hellcat is 59.9.. same ballpark I'm guessing. It has 12# of boost, 9.5 CR with all new forged internals including crank, rods and pistons. New heads to withstand the boost. It can be programmed down to 300 or 500 hp in case you want to let one of your dumb buddies drive it. It also has electronic cutouts, pzeros and the challenger has a front ram intake, not sure if it's fitted on the charger as well. It's a freaking beast of car. low 11's on pzeros, mid 10s on drags.

It was also built to run at the track all day long and stay in op temp, plus tip toe at 20 mpg. At WOT, this sucker can burn 1.5 gallons of petro in a minute though.

Shit at $60k... that will be bargain of the century in terms of performance.
I hope it handles decent.
