Default Bonneville 0-60

So ive been looking all over the internet and everywhere i see that the 96-99 Bonneville non supercharged go 0-60 in 7.1 seconds.

How is it that my 2002 Bonneville supercharged only goes 0-60 in 7.5. I know it has extra weigth but dang.

Its sad to think if a base model 97 bonneville came up against my 02 SSEI bonne, that i would get my **** rocked...

I've never gotten better than 9 sec 0-60 out of my L36 LeSabres. I must totally suck!

The biggest problem isn't just power, but traction. I can spin my good summer tires up to 48 mph. And I could boil stock tires. FWD cars always have this problem. You can only go so wide.
