Fast is a relative term, and depends on the type of vehicle for which you are judging.

Most 'supercars', those costing over $100K, can perform 0-60 in less than 4.5 seconds, many in under 4 seconds.

Most 'sports cars' (Nissan 350z, BMW 335 or M3, etc.) will go 0-60 anywhere between 4.8 - 6.0 seconds.

A better metric for a car's flat-out performance would be the quarter-mile time, as this evens the playing field by eliminating the advantage that a small gear-ratio for 1st gear would provide in a 0-60.

Also, unless all you are interested is drag racing, sheer acceleration is not a very good measure for the performance of a sports car, an example would be that a Jeep Grand Cherokee SRT/8 can outperform a Lotus Elise in a straight 0-60, but would do horribly against it around a race track. This is because there are corners/turning involved in racing (drag racing excluded). The best sports cars balance power with handling to achieve the optimal product.
