Sorry, I dont think there are such thing as "exactly how fast".
the times you list above can be all right
there are too many factors involve in road test. driver, car, location, weather, temperature....
even the same driver drive the same car in the same place but in two different time can produce 2 different test results.

The car magazine guys, and the generally accepted figure I've seen many times for the S2000, is 5.9 seconds. Like the previous post said, it can vary with conditions and driver skill. The new Subaru WRX, a Car of the Year for Automobile Magazine, apparently runs 0-60 in 5.4.

My '99 Suzuki Hayabusa GSX1300R runs it easily in 2.6. In that particular motorcycle, 1st gear is good for about 75 MPH at the 11K redline. There are five more gears to go.

How fast means what is the top speed in a 0-60 sprint - the answer is 60mph.

Fastness means the actual speed achieved, whereas what you really mean is how long does it take to achieve a certain speed.

So what you're asking is how quick. The answer depends on the driver, the vehicle and the road conditions. The best I have seen, and believe to be true and accurate, is around 5.4 seconds.

Motor trend clocked 0 to 60 in 5.3 seconds for the S2000. I choose to believe them.

VTEC, one of my biggest peeves on this site is that people do not understand the meanings of the words "quick" and "fast". If you check other posts I have made you can see that I have set myself up as a one-man crusade on this subject.
