I think with some of these cars the sensation of speed is different, the Z is so low to the ground and handles so well that sometimes you don't realize how fast you are going.
THe 5-60 is what is usually experienced the most, considering most people are not pro-drivers and don't do tire and clutch-smoking launches nearly as often as they pull away hard from a light/slow roll/non-revved up launch.

The Z takes nearly 6 seconds to do 5-60 (5.8), while the GT500 takes 4.5. It is a very considerable difference.

A lot of reviews came up with a time much closer to 5 secs for the z
