But I think they're mistaken with this info:
Zero to 60 mph: 5.5 seconds -- Kinda in the slow side, don't you think?

I think I have read are sub 5, 4.7 or 4.8 from most magazines.

Edit: Looking at the list, must be because they did not want a Nissan to beat out both BMWs plus a Camaro & Challenger.

Yeah, they have a G37 (a car that weighs 300+ pounds more than the 370) listed in the article with the same 5.5 seconds.

That's what it said in most of the reviews I've read, too. 4.7

Still nice to be on that list, though.
