Too many factors to know for certain. Tenths of a second are easily gained or lost based upon test conditions like weather, temperature, driver technique, etc as well as production variances between cars of the same model.
A great example is the new Nissan GT-R. Several mags have timed its 0-60 at 3.3, 3.5, and one of the new issues has it at over 4.0 seconds. That's a difference of 0.7 seconds for the exact same car.
Having traveled this fast, I agree with mr jef---anything under 4.0 seconds feels like you're getting launched out of a sling shot.
