Automobilemag.com Read the above paragraph and test results for the NISMO Z. WTF. My friend found this at his dentist's office and laughed at me for owning a Z (in a friendly A hole sort of way) Seriously, why post times very abnormal compared to normal tests. Like Car and Driver and their retard test of the NISMO in their 2010 cars issues. This sh*t gives the Z a bad name and people who know nothing see this and think the Z is a crappy car for the money. And yeah I don't have a scanner lol

It does suck, those times seam pretty far off from what other mags have got, especially the 1/4 mile time. Heck my Mini Cooper JCW will do 0-to-60 in 5.7 seconds, the quarter mile in 14.3 seconds at 96.3 mph and the Z is way faster
Maybe you should write them a letter and ask why their test drivers suck at shifting and driving.
