I just read that article n realized. Its edmunds.com.
Tho I jus said the the reviews r 2 for 2 with C&D, I wouldn't
Hold any of there high performance reviews to any regard.
They always have performance stats that are contra the major
7 car mags.
And they are chronically biased toward muscle cars. They don't seem
To understand or have the skill for japanese performance.
Case in point. Edmunds got:
0-60 5.2 and 5.3
Almost every major mag has pulled 4.7 to 5.1 wit avg. 4.9 on the stick
On the automatic they have pulled 4.6 to 4.9 wit avg 4.7 sec on most mags.
The quarter mile has consistant avgs. Of 13.1 to 13.3.
Edmunds gets 13.5 n 13.6 in there tests.
Lateral grip. The biggest diffency of accurate consistancy.
All major mags hav seen .97g to .99g on sport pkg.
Nismo has seen .99 to 1.01
How the hell does edmunds get .94g? Who's driving? The editors Great
Grandma? When ur that far off its hard to take there articles too seriously.
