Not to bad for a non-turbo

Yup, pay full price for the director's cut.
Has anyone actually beat that time? I think Jim Allen's turbo 6.9 was getting something like 9.5 seconds.
Best I ever managed was 13 seconds but no video to prove it. Current transmission program is probably crap for acceleration anyway.
Did you power against the brakes for the first second there?
