Dam, you got me. 0-60 in 4.2 seconds actually. This was using my trusty CarTest program that has been dead on for me car as far as what it says it will run. It factors in a few things like:
Displacement
Engine location
NA, turbo, or sc
Peak HP
Peak HP rpm
Peak TQ
Peak TQ rpm
Compression ratio
Redline
Clutch dump or slip rpm
Gear ratios
Final Drive
FWD, RWD, or AWD
Chassis weight
Weight transfer front/back
Wheelbase
Tire circumference, size, width
Coeffiecient of drag
Car height
Car width
Ground clearance
Static & Kinetic coeffiecient of friction of the tires
Air temp
Barometric pressure
Humidity
Elevation
Wind
Road grade
Shit time
Clutch engagement time
Hot tire pressure
Wheel and tire weight
And a bunch of other things. Most of the stuff they have already loaded for your car or standard defaults. You can change everything to match your setup though (as I did to match my different motor, tranny, etc). To figure the coeffiecent of friction, you can see what your 60 ft time is at the track and adjust the value so it runs that in the program. I set it so it is at 2.0. For me it says 12.8 1/4 mile, just like I ran. There are many other things it tells you. I have found the program to be very useful and informative. 4.2 0-60 mph isn't too bad though.
