These are substantially lower than most magazine times and lower than my CarTest results using crank power and 12% or so total losses. Any idea why these sims show such underperformance?

Yeah, I based these results on my slow shift speeds and my fat ass in the cockpit with a half tank of gas. I'm sure the magazines shift substantially faster than I do, and that could easily be 0.4 second difference right there on a 0-60. There's also weather conditions which affect power output; but not sure how much difference that would make because I didn't model it. Tire size was heavier 19's in this simulation. What do your simulations show for these same results?
