The numbers sound conservative to me; Motor Trend got the 230hp 9-5 Aero (pre-2002) to do 0-60 in 6.5 sec, if I recall correctly.
The 9000 Aero (200 hp?) used to do 0-60 in about 6.4, I think.. probably a much lighter car but I'd imagine that the better traction and increased torque and hp of the 9-5 Aero would overcome any weight difference.
Maybe not enough traction?? Weight transfer (towards the rear) during an aggressive 0-60 launch is a huge limiting factor for FWD cars... the front wheels become unloaded and the power tends to become wheelspin instead...
