Question What is the ACTUAL 0-60 time for 250?

I know people who pursue 0-60 badly won't think about the 250; but as a 250 owner myself I really want to know the potential of my car. Could your guys tell me what is the best 0-60 time that 250 has achieved so far?

ps. official website states 7.9s but I believe it should be better.

Maybe that's a close estimate.

Interestingly, here from XhyDra's post I found someone has clocked a 7.2s for 250 AT RWD (don't know the car is moded or not):

On a really bad run I do 7.5sec 0-60, on a good run 7.2sec, same street a long stretch. As soon as I get my HD Cam & the Vector, I'll do some videos.

meowCat, the street start 5-60mph at 8.4 sec is about right
