Irony.

Compare a Corvette Z06 Carbon to a GT500 Performance Package and we would hear endlessly about how the Vette is obviously better because it's faster despite the significantly higher price tag.

Compare a Shelby GT350 to a Challenger SRT8 and the GT350 loses, despite being faster, because it costs too much.

I'm seeing bias, but it isn't coming from the car magazines. I expect to see bias against the Mustang, were on a Camaro forum and it's a part of the rivalry. What I don't understand is why folks feel obliged to explain away an opinion very obviously based almost entirely, if not entirely, in bias by creating facts to suit your argument.

I don't like chocolate ice cream, I feel no need to create conjured facts explaining why chocolate ice cream is inferior, I just say I don't like it.
