Yeah, well Stu's book is filled with incorrect data. When I first got it, I noted at least a dozen glaring errors and tried to contact Bentley to tell them. Of course the email address provided was invalid. I gave up. He's flat wrong on the 2.5 turbo specs though - 10.7 is closer to the 3.0L turbo spec.
The factory Tech Data Manual says for the 124.128 (2.5 Turbo), spec is 12.3 seconds 0-100kmh (0-62.4mph), with two occupants, +/- 7%. Note that is for a base model Euro version, and USA versions (with more standard equipment) may be a hair slower. Translating that into 0-60mph with one occupant, it should be a little under 12 seconds. Anywhere between 12-14 seconds and your car is running very well, probably not worth spending lots of money trying to "fix" it.
