So maybe the most conservative 0-60 time for a BRZ is 7.3 secs, the upcoming review consensus number might be 6.8 secs, and.... Car and Driver might post a 6.5 sec time. time will tell...
That's what I was saying in my previous post. My current car(RSX-S) had testing numbers as high as 7.2 and as low as 5.9(UK magazine) for the 0-60 romp.

Over the last 20+ years of reading Car & Driver I have noticed they more often than not post the best times, but not always. Edmunds and Consumer Reports usually seem to be the slowest.
