I thnk it might be something like:
"Here's the nought to sixty figure, so you know how quick it will accelerate on the road."
and
"And here's the nought to 100 figure, just for information y'hear? Of course you'd never test that would you?"

Wouldn't 0 to 100 look better or seem faster? (The same way that Brits seem to prefer Celsius temperatures in the winter but Fahrenheit in the summer.) Or does 60 seem just right?
