Several car magazines publish times for 5-60 mph, which is more or less rolling on the throttle from a stop sign. This is probably the sort of measurement you're looking for. It is a good indicator of how fast a car is without any drivetrain abuse (clutch drop/slippage).

Going by that sort of testing regime this car won't break the 7s.
