Question My car is SLOOOW compared to times on YouTube. Any Ideas???

I recently purchased my 2014 V6 automatic with 53k miles on it. It now has 55k miles, but I have installed a CAI, throttle body, eibach springs, BAMA tune, AND wider/stickier tires.

0-60 on youtube for a 2.73 2014 v6 automatic is usually around 6.1s STOCK.

My car, with the performance upgrades, will do 6.5s best with 91oct gas, 91race tune, throttle body, cai, and 255 tires.

Why are my times so slow?? Is it because my car has 55k miles? Is there something I should be replacing?

Location plays a factor regarding elevation and weather conditions too. I wouldn't put much stock into comparing YouTube vids to your car unless your runs are nearly sea level and at 40 degree temps.

Appreciate the response, I live in las vegas (dry,dusty, and about 1/2 mile above sea level) which I think are ideal conditions other than dusty... right?

Here are some vids:

5.8s with 3.31's:
