Sub 6 secs for an SC must've been when brand new, no options, and with a 5'0" Peruvian jockey for a driver. 7.0 should be no problem though, but then we're talking late 80s Maxima territory.
The stats that I find have more real world relevance are the mid-gear acceleration figures like 50 - 80 mph or 70 - 100 mph. When I'm in 4th gear on the freeway and the traffic opens up and I lay into the gas pedal the SC takes off like a rocket leaving the other cars behind.
I did a lot of damage to the various cars I owned from ages 16 to about 20 and learned what drag racing can do to your drivetrain. An RX-7, a Scirocco. I remember doing neutral drops in my friend's sister's 1986 Dodge Omni. It was tan. Rev it up to about 4 or 5k while in neutral and then drop it into drive! When we brought it home and turned off the ignition it started dieseling. As it dieseled, it started to get louder and louder like it was reving up even though there was no key in the ignition. We all thought it was going to blow up so we ran for cover. Finally it made a really loud bang and blew smoke all over the neighborhood. A week later she had a new car.
Don't punish your car with 0-60 trials. Especially not your '86 Omni.
