Well if it's 0-60 in 6 with I'm assuming a 4-7k dump. is it's 5-60 7 or even 8 seconds?

Put it this way, if you wanna run someone from a roll go from no less than 20 in first gear, 30 is probably the best speed. Below 30 it takes forever for the power to come on.

The best published 5-60mph number (that I've seen) is 6.8. Though, 7.0 is more common and I've even seen low 7s. I don't think I've seen 8 (or anywhere close to it).

Any "roll on" from a low speed in this car will be slow. You will get left behind.
UNLESS, you do a rolling clutch dump. This is the only way to get a good "rolling launch" but if you don't do it just right, it's Bar-B-Q'd clutch for snacks. I've done a few of these and it almost always surprises the hell out of people. It's a thing of beauty.
ps. You cannot neglect your tire pressures. Although it helps a lot to have "gears" and a blower, it's not required. It just takes more finesse if you're stock.

I used to do rolling clutch dumps in my Mustangs, and they took off like a bat outta hell. I have tried a couple times in the S2000, and it likes to wheel hop pretty bad.
