0-60 mpg times for passenger jet planes?

I know such information is not usually relevant when talking about planes but I'm curious. I don't really feel much in terms of G-forces in a plane during take off as opposed to in a fast car.
 
Not significantly greater. Definitely less than a full g of accel., save perhaps in catapult-launched jets and Formula 1 cars.

As far as 0-60 times, I dunno. 747's take off at ~180 mph, and as I recall, take about 90s to get there, but its been a damn long while
