I think I'll have to disagree, some WRX's will beat a UK to 57, but not 60.
'cause 57 is where you hit the rev limiter in second gear making it a necessity to have two gear changes rather than one to get to 60. This has a big negative impact on 0-60 times.

The jap import is definitely quicker than the UK model.
