I didn't agree with almost ALL of what they said in that test. Nor did I agree with their choices for cars. For instance, I'd bet that the Corvette would have scored higher if it wasn't a ZR1...because apparently, they thought it was "too powerful".

The thing that especially irked me about this article...is that it's almost entirely SUBJECTIVE...they even said so. So their placement was based on nothing factual...
Well it kind of has to be subjective to be a 'driver's car' comparison. They have other comparisons that determine ultimate performance capability, like the 6 600hp+ car shootout. For instance, a Cooper S is amongst the most fun vehicles you can treat yourself to driving (imho)- but it wouldn't be a blip on the ultimate performance test.

I think C&D's big yearly test at VIR which is almost all objective should suit you better.
