It's all about tires, wheels, driver, and road surface. When I first got my car I timed quite a few launches (stupid I know). Some where as low as 5.3 and some were over 7, even 8 seconds.
I thought it was interesting how much a bit of extra slippage or a sloppy shift or traction control (if enabled) could affect the times, while at the same time not making much of a perceptible difference in terms of actual driving experience. You can have slow runs that feel fast and fast runs that feel slow.
