Edmunds reported very different numbers for just about every benchmark test than did MT. So if you're going to take one review as the absolute truth, then why not the other one? Because its less convenient? You should take these reviews with a grain of salt, not just believe everything they tell you as fact. As far as it being plausible, I thought that was exactly what I said on my previous posts...

You should check out this intake in the engine section of the forum, its dyno proven to give you 25HP to the wheels!!!! I hear it makes a ton of noise too. That should get you into the 4.6s range.

Don't even get me started on that 13.3 quarter mile.


LOL professional drivers???? Of course..all these fat old guys who review the cars are all professional drivers...


You have faith in Edmunds? They have both the GTR and the ZR1 doing 0-60 in 3.8 secs. Ridiculous at best! That's why I don't respect their reviews.

As far as my comment about professional drivers...I was simply making a point and was not suggesting that reviews by MotorTrend, Edmunds, etc are all done by professional drivers. I simply stated the reason why professional drivers are sometimes used.
