I have two 300 617 Turbo powered vehicles at this time. The 300D accelerates like the very devil is behind it. The 300DT doesn't accelerate much at all but is within the 4 second spec.

I have yet to figure out why - been working on other more important things on the wagon. I think it has something to do with the shifting of the transmission.

Try manually shifting your car and see if it gets up to speed faster. If so, you may need to adjust a few things.
