EDIT: changed from 4.9 to 4.7 (thanks Endgame for pointing that out to me).
Edmunds always has slow numbers. My theory is that they just have some crappy drivers.
Road&Track and Motortrend usually post the best times, but you're right in pointing out that 4.7 to 5.1 is nearly half a second. Maybe motortrend knows how to launch this car better? I'm pretty sure they both tested the 6MT Sport versions, not really sure why they were so different.
Either way, the car is definitely fast.. and once people start buying them and taking them to the strip we will see what they are capable of in the real world.
