Why you think it's not correct?
Oh, I dunno, maybe these?

Car & Driver: 4.9 sec (Nov. '08 )
Car & Driver: 4.6 sec (7AT, Apr. '09)
Car & Driver: 4.9 sec (Apr. '09)
Motor Trend: 4.7 sec (Nov. '08 )
Motor Trend: 4.9 sec (Apr. '11)
Motor Trend: 4.8 sec (Aug. '12)

That's not to say that all tests resulted in sub-5 second runs; the auto rags that are usually slower (Edmunds, Autoweek) posted around 5.1 sec times. Still, choosing the slowest of these is a bit disingenuous.

Averaging these times above along with a few others (sans the 4.6 sec 7AT) results in a composite of 4.9 seconds.

I was going to just state the same thing in regards to that post by Husbarn. There are multiple sources out there which show much quicker times. I think that this review was not as accurate as what has been done by other sources. At the slowest average, with AT, 370z attains 0-60 in under 5 seconds.

That number is accurate. Actually it is posted that that time is for 0-100 km/h, which is equal to 0-62 mph, but in that review they just posted 0-100 km/h or ~0-60 mph (time was meant for 0-100 km/h). This car maybe can accelerate in less than 5 seconds for 0-60 mph, but 0-62 mph takes more time.

Go again to that review and you'll see
