The 5.4 number is more in line with a 350Z than a 370Z in most tests.
I agree that the auto is quicker than the manual. Does anyone think they can shift faster and smarter than a computer using today's advanced transmissions? But 0-60 in 4.6 seconds for a stock 370Z? Seriously? You don't actually believe this do you? A $100,000 BMW MW barely pulls 4.6-4.7 seconds. Hell, a Nissan GTR does it in 4.2, you really think a Z is only 4/10ths of a second slower?
