Car and Driver reviews 370z. Got 0 to 60 in 4.9 secs.

http://www.caranddriver.com/reviews/...370z_road_test

At the track, the 370Z easily outpaced its predecessor: 0.3 second quicker to 60 mph, a half-second quicker to 100. The 370Z accelerates to 60 mph a mere 10th behind a Porsche Cayman S. The new Z’s 30-to-50 passing potential is now about a second better, and it picked up 0.9 second in its 50-to-70-mph burst. Skidpad grip has risen from 0.93 g to a tendon-bending 0.97 g, and the new brakes (no longer Brembos but Akebonos) have tightened stopping distance to 159 feet—race-car territory, kids.

Great numbers but car&driver is known to get the lowest numbers from all the magazines and there aren't too many drivers that can duplicate those times in real life.
Z should be a solid low 13 car. It looks like the handling was improved from already great handing 350z. Can't wait to drive one.
