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.

Once again, I in fact said exactly the opposite; man take a second to read my posts before you answer them. I said you should take the reviews with a grain of salt because they are often not the be-all and end-all definitive sources for performance figures. NOT that I have any more faith in edmunds than I do in MT. In fact I dont trust either. The only reasons I read those reviews are 1) because they give you a better feel for the driving experience from people who have driven a lot of cars and 2) because there is no other real information to read.
And sorry about the second part, it just really really sounded like you were saying professional drivers were used to get the maximum possible performance as close to perfect as possible. I misunderstood.
Finally, All I'm saying is that 4.7s to 60 would be fantastic, but in my personal opinion it seems a little too optimistic for a 300rwhp (probably under that with the 19s) 3350lbs + driver car. Thats all. We will know better as more tests are done. Hopefully its closer to 4.7 than to 5, time will tell.
