Default All is not lost- road test summary comparison

I hope this may put some things back in perspective. I was just flipping through the latest R&T Road Test Summary and saw some comparisons that might bring some of us back to earth.
MB S55 AMG 354hp 5.7(0-60) 14.1 @ 102.7 0.89g $100,000
NISSAN Skyline GTR 277hp 5.2(0-60) 13.7@103.5 0.89g $90,000
Audi S4 250hp 5.5(0-60) 14.1@98.5 0.83g $40,000
Boxster S 250hp 5.6(0-60) 14.0@100.5 0.91g $50,000
Subaru WRX 227hp 5.7(0-60) 14.4@95.4 0.84g $25,000
The list goes on. I realize these are results from a different publication, but I fail to see the problem anyone is having. Z is fast, Z is pretty, Z is value. Goodnight!

Another thing is that C/D has discrepencies all the time. When they tested the 300ZX TT they always had #s that were never the same.
ie:
C/D 9/93
300ZX TT 5.6(0-60) 14.2@101 0.93g

C/D 2/92
300ZX TT 5.0(0-60) 13.7@102 0.88g

C/D 2/90
300ZX TT 5.9(0-60) 14.6@96 0.88g
These were all done with the same 300hp twin turbo car stock!?!
#s are subjective.

I didn't think the 300ZX TT was out yet in 1990.. I thought they just had the NA version.
