M5 acceleration (archive)

Does anyone know the 0-60 time for a stock e28 US version M5? I just bought a US version with exhaust, chip, K&N, and Shrick 282 cams. I used a G-tech to measure the 0-60 time, and my best run was around 6.2 sec with some tire spin in first gear due to moderatly wet pavement. Does that sound about right. I know the chip does not deliver the horsepower gains it claims (194hp), but it seems like it should be faster. Also the car only has about 40,000 miles on a rebuilt engine. The car is plenty fast and I probably won't do anything to make it faster, but I would like to know if something seems wrong.

Thanks in advance.
Ted
