Our Z is roughly at 5.x secs (roadster / coupe / auto manual all different). Z is a true sport car, but it's < 1 sec quicker than X3 and Accord.

Is the current Z getting old?

You're oversimplifyling the results. For one, 0-60 is magazine racing is stupid. It's an old way of thinking about performance. The quarter mile time and trap speed is more accurate at measuring straight line performance. Also, 1 second difference is HUGE. If the Z cut a whole second off it's 0-60, you're looking at supercar territory.

Is your only criteria for judging a sports car it's 0-60 time ?

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.
