AUS vs US Spec Si4

Hey all, anybody know why the US claim a 0-100 of 7.1 and in Aus we claim 7.6 ?
Yes i know 60mph is not exactly 100kmh, it's 97kmh, but it doesn't equate to another 0.5 seconds. I believe power output and torque are quoted as the same figure. (once converted to KW from HP)

Any ideas?

An extra gear change could explain the 0.5sec time to go from 97Km/h to 100Km/h.

i thought it was 6.7, well i think for the 19s they are that but for the 20s which weigh 34lbs, just wheel,(ask my stealership to weigh) i wouldnt be suprised if they dipped in the low 7 seconds.

Maybe different engine tunes to cater for their local markets (quality of fuel, emissions requirements, consumption targets etc)?
Just a guess

0 - 100kmh = 0 - 62mph, stands to reason 0 - 60mph will be quicker

JLR Australia or whoever set the 0-100km/h times must have been conservative as Wheels magazine managed 7.0 seconds in Dynamic Si4 Coupe.
