Is this true ? : Zero-to-sixty actually doesn't matter so much ?

Can the cars (especially ordinary sedans) with zero-to-sixty of 5~8 secs also run fast in real on-road situation? I got surprised when I saw a record that a trim of

I got surprised when I saw a record that a trim of Camry could make up its own 0-60 just within 6 secs ..

As someone once said, "Today's midsize sedans are faster than 70s & 80s sports cars" !!

Cars back in the 80's (I can't speak for the ones in the 70's because I was too young to drive then) weren't really fast compared to almost anything today. The Z28's, Mustangs, (Ok the 80's Mustangs were a joke) Trans AM even TA Turbo (all stock) were all pretty slow and heavy as the Titanic. Handling isn't even close either.

I don't think that any of those cars from back in the day (stock) couldn't outrun the Z of today.
