They may not be getting enough seat time to come to terms with the vehicle.
They do use multiple drivers, but they are all amateurs, for it to be really fair they would have to borrow the Stig for a few days.

Considering 1 second quicker makes sense that Nissan did a good job on improving the 350z.
In terms of C&D's comparison, that wouldn't make much difference. It would be placed before BMW z4M.
84 3:11.1 BMW X5 M LLT 2/12
85 3:11.7 BMW Z4 M COUPE LL2 8/07
86 3:12.0 NISSAN NISMO 370Z LL2 2/10
87 3:12.5 NISSAN 350Z TRACK LL1 11/06
If compared to the $33k Camaro SS with a 3:09.5 time
and the $32k Mustang GT 5.0 with 3:08.6 time, the 370z isn't really a bargain.
