For me is an impossible result, on 0-60 MPH/0-100 KMH, but my car, on the road, goes more than your .
(Steptronic eats 15 BHP more than manual/SMG transmission, 60 vs 45 HP)

Anyway, 0-100 is not the gospel or the bible : on highways or on the track I don't do 0-100 ...

PS :
Congrats for your time, in any case ..

I agee on the horsepower issue,but the step has better gear ratio's for acceleration from a stop,and is more consistant from a dead stop.

The gearing of the Step is vastly superior to the manual/SMG. And, here are more times/speeds for your consideration. My adjusted 0-60's are right in line with those of the g-man except mine are adjusted to 500 feet, while his passes are made at 400 feet. Incidentally the link does contain out times/speeds for the gospel/bible when it comes to straight-line acceleration--meaning the 1/4th mile.
