I don't think another two gears will necessarily give it an advantage. Remember, everytime you apply power through higher gear ratios, you actually loose a little bit of power. That, and I think everytime the tranny shifts, there is a delay in power, so it would seem to me, the more gears you have, the more time is spent shifting, which means there is a little less time power is being applied to the ground... Not to mention if GM tunes the converter a little looser, it will be in it's powerband more, and there will be less RPM drop between shifts (it's known as shift extension.)
Regardless, I believe an automatic V8 will be pretty close to those times posted.
