1. 2009 370Z
329 hp
0 to 60 in 6.1 secs
1/4 mile 14.26 secs at 103 mph (wet track)

2. Mitsubishi EVO X MR
329.9 hp
0 t0 60 in 5.49 secs
1/4 mile 14.14 secs at 100.0 mph (wet track)

3. Mitsubishi EVO X GSR
295.7 hp
0 to 60 6.02 secs
1/4 mile 14.52 secs at 96.7 mph (wet track)

4. Subaru WRX STI
304.1 hp
0 to 60 5.82 secs
1/4 mile 14.41 secs at 98.3 mph

According to this magazine, the 370Z has serious competition from the little 4-banger sedans and loses to some in 0 to 60 times. I have read the Z will do anywhere from 4.6 to 5.1 0 to 60 times but that is not what this magazine obtained. Can this be true?

Just to reiterate what everyone has been echoing, they did the times on a WET TRACK. Look at the time attack times, the only thing that beat the Z was the MR.
