It seems 4.2 as quoted by Chevrolet is a bit optimistic. They aren't exactly known for quoting things conservatively (as German marques are).

I don't think it would take that much longer to go 2.138889 more mph. Maybe it comes down to the way the magazines quote their figures. Road & Track does runs in opposite directions and gives averages, but I don't know how the other magazines do it.
