Then, as the years went by, the magazines clocked it in the low 5 sec range. Was it the drivers who sucked, or was the Z regressing, or both?
It was a 7 speed auto with Sport and it was 4.7 and 13.2 in the qtr at 107. No other mag saw those times...ever again. It was being compared to a DB9 IIRC.

Uuugggghhh No it was 4.6.... And R&T saw 4.8

And any Mag that accelerated with a foot of roll-out got under 5 seconds on the automatic. No other magazine got under 5 on the manual. And on that Mag the manual got 4.8 not 4.7

The auto on prime conditions average 4.8 to 60. The auto barely gets reviewed.
axmea? and Dream Team like this.
