With a low torque high revving 4 cylinder engine 0-60 times are usually all over the place. It really just depends on how harsh the testers want to be on the car. In order to get a low 6 second time you probably have to drop the clutch around 5500-6000 rpm, something not for the squeamish. Engaging around 3000-4000 rpm will probably give you something in the 7 second range.

I'd imagine the fastest times in this car are achieved by enough wheel spin off the line so that when the tires hook up the engine is already past the torque dip.
