No. The entire point of the timer is to tell you compared to the site time.
98% of our traffic doesn't have an account and therefore doesn't have a timezone offset and would be screwed by that idea.
With it telling you exactly what it's counting down to and the time remaining to that point it's a consistent experience that even most idiots can understand.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
