Why is the 2016 slower than the 2009?!

Hey all,

I've noticed that the 0-60 times published for the 2016 370Z models are at least half a second slower than the 2009-2010 models' times.

What is the reason for this?

Could a tune alone remedy this issue?

Could be many things, Driver, Tune, Test method, Newer safety equipment installed = slower car, MT vs AT

How about not worrying about a time that is completely irrelevant to enjoyment of the vehicle and leave the magazine racing to Mustang owners?

I think due to stricter Emission control.
