Here maybe this will help. This is a Road Dyno speed graph.
The run was in 2nd gear starting at 1500 rpm and flooring it, can you say lug the motor and turbo lag. It still looks pretty good. Imagine if it was first gear at 5 mph, I think it could do it in the 5's easy.

This means it's 4.31? Or the other way around and 5.31?
You have to make sure you calibrate the speed setting for this to be accurate. Best bet is to be a hair on the off towards 61 0n speedo and 60 on TT. Then you can be pretty sure of the results.

I take my Evo to the track occasionally, and this is where it is at home! So far the only cars that I have trouble keeping up with are a race prepared M3 and other EVOs! Sure, the 0-60 time was a big sell for the car and the 5-60 time will be a bit slower 'cause you are waiting for the turbo to spool up, but get your baby on the track where you can appreciate it and you will know you have the right car for the job. My penny's worth (i'm english, so none of this foriegn funny money).
