Thumbs down Disappointing Nissan 350Z supercharged

375 bhp and 0-62 mph in 5.8 seconds?!

And people still call this car a Mustang competitor...

5.8? Thats not an improvement over the normal 350z time :scratch:

Might be a typo, or those "tuners" dont know how to tune

They meant 4.8. I read a review in another source that said something similar to "the tuned version is expected to beat the stock 0-60 time of 5.8 by over a second." I imagine Nissan worded it such in their press release and when Top Gear wrote the review they just grabbed the only numerical figure they saw.

That makes much more sense.
