Makes you wonder why the 350Z acceleration times are so poor and the track time is so good.

From the R&T article

 

The Z's acceleration times are NOT poor. Their 0-60 time of 5.8 is way off. The automatic if faster than that! The correct 0-60 time is 5.3 to 5.4 for the manual track.

 

that is likely true, acceleration runs and cornering tests are hard to be continous with. but on the track, its an average of dozens of turns and straights, it also might be a testament to its wide powerband and shitty tread that hurts it from a standing start, but pulls it out on a track.

 

It sounds like those times might be a bit slow for all the cars, so maybe they just had some poor conditions.

The Z is definitely faster than 5.8.

-D'oh!

 

their times are off but over all it is a pretty fair article....
