This.

Factors include:
1) Rollout
2) TIRES. TIRES. TIRES.
3) Driver skill
4) Weather
5) Fuel quality, oil change status, etc.

The Car/Driver infopanel (vs Cayman S) showed a 13.7 @ 103 quartermile, with a 5.2 0-60. Many members on this site do better than that, although they do it at VHT-prepped dragstrips and with tires better than the stock 'stones.

If it makes you feel any better - count off "one-thou"... that's the difference. 0-60 has lost it's appeal as a performance measurement. The real money's in the trap speed, everything else is too variable
