I was playing with data regarding potential DE cars and tow vehicles separately, but obtained the interesting chart on the attached sheet after I combined them. (I added my old Capri and a 917 just to see see how they compared.) I was surprised to see a tight relationship across such a wide range of vehicles.
Sadly, the cold conclusion is that it will require a bucket-o-cash to reduce weight or increase horsepower enough to significantly affect acceleration in my RSA. It's much cheaper to simply listen to our DE instructors.

I agree that driving skill is the most important element. I have no doubt that a top driver, driving your old Capri, would smoke me driving my RS America on a twisty track. He, however, would be phenomenal if he was driving my car
I am not sure I agree that the chart suggests a tight relationship. Additionally, I don't think 0-60 is a barometer of anything with respect to DE.
Nice Car!
