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.
