Yep...

The only thing professional about these guys in their writing skill. Throw Evan Smith behind the wheel and see what happens....

Mine isnt even broken in yet i only have 110 miles on it so i dont want to push to hard on her.My friend that moved to LA has a 07 daytona blue he told me he ran a 13.4 all day.Plus when i got the car i researched the 1/4 mile times for the 07 alot of people and again based on the driver are pulling 13.3/13.4 1/4 times no problem.But when i get her broken im heading to the drag to see what i can do.

Good luck. I don't know if 'at least' fits the bill (since 13.3 has been the best).. but it's not out of question.

The Z can do much better then that for the 1/4 mile time, people on this forum have done 13.3-13.4. The 0-60 is the same as the G35, I was hoping for something a little lower seeing as its 200lbs lighter then the G35.

I haven't seen this latest issue at local news stands yet.

Which Z trim model was tested? Is it a GT model?

Magazine comparo's can be somewhat useful, but more often then not there is some misinformation.

Dont ever read a Subiesport comparo though. OMG are those the worst!
