Eh, I've always seen magazine speed testing as a little dicey. Not only do you have to account for the conditions of the days the testing is happening at, or the state of the car, in tires, tranny, etc., but the drivers count for a lot, too. The drivers that test don't get a chance to really understand a car's particular quirks over time, for understandable reasons. So the numbers can get a touch hosed. I pretty much average out over different magazines, and give it a bit of spin, depending on the conditions indicated by the magazines. Works for me
