I just watched the video. What gears are you running?
According to the FM Gear Calc, 2d gear only goes to 52mph. You shifted into 3d after 5 seconds elapsed from your launch (1:14 to 1:19 in the video). So that means you weren't even going 60 yet and it had already been 5 seconds. If you are running different tires and/or gears, maybe you did it. But if not, there's no way. Is it a quick car, probably, but I think you are getting a bit over-confident if you think you can do 0-60 in 4.45 seconds.

I have never gone to a track yet so i can only estimate.
I have another video where I did 0 to 100 in 11.5 seconds, 0 to 130mph in 19.3 seconds It was in the winter on a cold road & tires like 15 degrees outside, where I launched at part throttle in first & second gear for a 0-60 of 5.1.

*edit* After watching the shot from the interior, you're moving forward about 1:30.5 at 4,000RPM, then begin to spin. You hit 60 dead on 1:36. That's 5.5 seconds, which is still fast.
Also sounds and acts like he has 4:10s.

In the gauge video I reved the engine 3 times & let the clutch out on the 3rd rev about 5500 rpms. 1st rev was about 3500 rpms 2nd rev was about 4500 rpms 3rd rev was about 5500 rpms when I let out the clutch.
