Come on ppl, I'm not trolling here. I'm giving you a chance to back-up your comments.

I challenge you to get those times from a stock 300zx. so many manufacturers over state those kinds of times and statistics. While it may be possible to get those times when you have good tires and a clean dry road. Getting the launch right on a RWD is very difficult to replicate a time of 5.6 seconds. On the other hand getting those kinds of times on a WRX or STI is fairly easy thanks to the 4WD platform.

And really, in the end those 0-100 times, as close as they are, wont mean diddly fucking squat when the road starts to bend.
