I get 5.8 sec in my 350Z auto. Something is seriously wrong with your time.

Here is another misleading magazine source full of lies...
MotorTrend



It's not an automatic, but still it's under 5.0.

Default I would think that

these times (if true) are due more to a stronger engine then most. While Nissan auto's are good they are not dual clutch units like the PDK or used on the Ferrari and Lambo. I would still think the manual, car for car, would be a tad quicker with a professional driver. With an average driver, then I would give the nod to the auto in most situations that call for straight line acceleration. Again, I would have to see more tests with different cars to believe this test. I, am however, a sceptic under most conditions.
