I had a rental car - a dodge challenger, circa 2014-2016. It has a 0-60 timer built-in. this was just the regular version, not Hellcat or Hemi driven V8s.
I found a nice empty road by the hotel, and tried various patterns (manual shifting, standing on brake release, etc. - btw, dont do the stand on brake release, as soon as you hit the gas, the timer starts).
The best time i was able to do was 6.6 seconds. The mode was around 6.9. The average was about 7.2, as some of the trials were 8+ seconds. The best times were simply "Floor it, and let the machine do everything else." In other words, any human input or attempt to increase the machine would make it worse.

Humbling experience.
