Will the N/A fwd sedan usually get 7s on a sunny day ?
Motortrend's time of 7.0s probably includes rollout, which I didn't account/care for.

Performance consistency isn't great with the 3, especially in the N/A. So, to be more realistic, I'll give you a range of 0-60 times.

Running 93-Octane, you'll reliably get times in the mid 7 second range (7.3-7.7).
Running 87-Octane, you'll get more inconsistent times, sometimes as slow as 8 seconds (i.e. on a hot summer day, when knock is a concern).
