ALL of the testers don't match the times... I know that there's many different factors and conditions when comparing the two places and cars, but its still remarkable.
The other guy explained it well...that 4.7 is not from a dead stop, most car mags the car slightly rolling to get those #s. from 0 the car probably takes 5.0-5.1s
