I think 5.9 is not very realistic. The ls460 is rated at 5.7 seconds to 62 mph. The 430 is 6.7 seconds to 62 mph.

I believe that is what is listed in the literature. Feels like 5.9 to me

I have seen 5.9 listed as 0-60.

Car and Driver has it tested at 6.3 seconds, see below.

Regardless - it's not a slouch, but if you're expecting to win drag races today with this car, you won't win many. Not with todays days of 350-500hp cars, 8 speed autos, and a huge focus on performance.

Stoplight racing isn't what this car is about.

Prelift with 5 gear AT should have 6,7 form 0 to 100km/h. Postlift with 6 gear AT should have 6,3s from 0 to 100km/h. Please noticed that 60mph is a little less than 100km/h. It is about 96km/h. This makes a different.
