Also, if you start your timer when you first press the accelerator from a dead stop at idle, it will be very slow. Since you were driving an AT, there's a good chance that's how the OP started accelerating. To get a good launch, you need your revs up around 3k before setting off. That's easy in a manual, not so easy in an auto. In an AT, you'd have to brake-stand or neutral drop to achieve this, which I doubt he did.
