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.
The article compares a $40,000 car you can buy off the dealer's showroom floor to an $80,000 aftermarket tuner car. That strikes you as a logical comparison? The comparison you mention is equally as ridiculous due to the price disparity but at least they are both OEM cars.
