Car and driver seems to achieve the best acceleration times on all cars in fact.
Acceleration metrics can become quite confusing. American publication usually exclude a one-foot roll-out for acceleration times (as per NHRA guidelines) while European publications don't, this is worth ~0.3 seconds. Further, European publication usually publish 0-100km/h (0-62mph), even UK publications often show 0-62mph instead of 0-60mph, this is worth another ~0.3 seconds. Also, C&D correct their acceleration numbers for ambient, which can skew the numbers further.
