If the Z cut a whole second off it's 0-60, you're looking at supercar territory.

how the Z drives and feels and delivers the power is what makes it a great sports car, not just the stats. yes they are important but i promise, the Z is much more exciting to drive than a '13 accord

The Z has handles over the accord and the x3 all day. Not to mention sex appeal.
