Helicopter acceleration times

Just curious, am wondering if anyone knows fastest acceleration times from hover for various helicopters in the form of typical car-style measurements, such as 0-60 mph, 0-100 km/h or 0-54 knots.

I have scoured Google and found an estimate of 0-100 mph in 4 seconds for a Blackhawk from the ground. Sounds incredibly fast!
