Car And Driver: 0-60 in 5.9s!
Read the review here:
… More important, then, is the spread of power, and this was enough to vault the car from rest to 60 mph in 5.9 seconds. That’s 0.5-second quicker than the 207-hp John Cooper Works Mini … the GP handles extremely well, pulling 0.90 g on the skidpad, a Mini record … With only 415 Mini GPs coming our way, the prominent rear wing, unique color combination, body kit, and lack of a rear seat (a rear strut-tower brace now occupies that space) differentiate this car, making it instantly identifiable as an exclusive collectible. We do hope you got your deposit in on time.

Car and Driver always does very well in their actual testing of 0-60 times. They must have good drivers, or something.
I hope mine will do even better, specially after I lose some weight.
