Where did you see 5.2s 0-60?? Was it another magazine?

Hey don't worry about guys....<br>
Worst the Z can do is <b>5.5 </b>0-60 since test data are from summer time so far. You get <b>5.2</b> in the winter (well for some of us atleast).

C&D and Motor Trend both correct their times for temperature, humidity, elevation, etc.

Someone said that a 5.2s time was possible, did anybody else read that somewhere or is that speculation based on the stats.

I said I was told it could be done (and was done), but none of us can verify any of the numbers yet. On a good day I would hope that I can get a 5.7 - 5.8, as I am not a professional nor do I try to beat the living **** out of the car. However, it is rare that I dont see triple digits on a daily basis. My on ramp to the interstate provides a nice runway at 6 in the morning.

I thought I remember JmanZ saying one of his inside sources quoted this figure before any stats were released. Jay, is that right?

Default Easy for starters with manual?

Excuse me if it's common knowledge, but how would the high torque be good for starters who are getting a manual for the first time?

I have driven manuals on very rare occurances; and this will be my first full time manual car.

The magazine is not at my local stores yet.

If no scanner.....more quotes would be great.

Thanks,

I think it should be good because it is harder to stall, just be sure not to use too much gas because you could start to burn rubber. Always be smooth that is, don't drop the clutch let it out slowly at least one second from fully disingaged to fully engaged while giving it a little gas.

I hope this helps.

I can't believe they got a 5.49 while C&D got a 5.4 that's just lame.
