Hmmm. The fact that the pros listed for the finalist Camaro says that the SS 'outperforms the top models of the immediate competition: Mustang, Challenger ' might give folks the perception of an inherent bias since, while the SS is very nice, it certainly doesn't outperform the top model Mustang, the GT500.

This might seems like a small issue, but I've spoken to more than a couple Mustang guys who have already decided that the contest is just an excuse to say 'yay Camaro' one more time with a pre-decided outcome, and as such they have simply written the whole thing off. Initially I started to call this an over-reaction, but then I realized that for a freshman effort that should be well above board in an effort to prove the validity of the contest such an obvious oversight is sloppy to be kind.

If you don't get a well rounded vote, then the result of that voting will be effectively pointless.
