GT.R has a spectacular aura aboutGT.R has a spectacular aura about
Motor Trend is a scam
Found this on an other board
The persons responsible for picking out the top 5 should have read up on performance and handling before attempting this magazine writing business.

The results were as follows:
  1. Audi R8
  2. Nissan GT-R
  3. BMW M3
  4. Mazda RX-8
  5. Porsche 911 Turbo
  6. Mitsubishi Evo MR
  7. Dodge Viper ACR
  8. Mini Cooper S
  9. Chevrolet Cobalt SS
  10. Ford Shelby GT500KR
I applaud Randy Pobst, who found something positive to say about the Mazda RX-8, which came out 4th in rankings in front of the Porsche 911 Turbo and the Dodge Viper ACR. This truly proves that any magazine opinion can be bought and sold for dinners, track rentals, testing facilities and that the general commentary in these magazines is usually BS.
I guess, I should mention that Mazda North America generously donated time at the Mazda Raceway in Laguna-Seca, where the testing was conducted.

A Z06 in that lot would have been a disaster for the competition. Z06 = no joke.

the z06 isnt that bad. the new zr1 is 100g which is a bit much but, it pumps cars worth a half mil more.

this is not much news...all car magazines within the past decades have their own
little biases sometimes its just goes as far as that

Csabe Csere from from car & driver was quite the only credible guy for a while
now he cant get his face out of his ***
