I don't think changing the diff ratio would make a huge difference on a car that already has such a broad spread of torque.

Yours a 6 speed auto, save your cash there is no need to change the diff.
1st get some decent tyres and the times will tumble, what was your mid track MPH?
With a 2.0 - 60 foot and 125 mph mine went 11.44 running 360rwkw, your car may need to be looked at for low down power, your top end power looks OK..

That does not add up, running mid track 99mph and 125 top end should see a ten second pass.

Just put it in performance mode and let the auto do the work, your time will tumble just by doing that

Same 60 foot, and less mp/h, but improved times.
Bit odd

Great time with good rwkws, but you may want to consider spending some of your money tuning your parental skills and mapping out your priorities. :

Once again, top job on the 12 sec run.
