i dont think i have ever seen a test done by any car magazine that matches that of the claimed time.

once again its not a TYPE R by performance specification, rather by name.... unfortunatly.

I don't agree with what you are saying. I read car magazines every month. Lots of car tests beat or match the times quoted by the manufacturer.

Are you you looking at the current issue? The article I was looking at is the latest issue - must have been released in the last few days.
