The only thing that ever bothers me with fan boy types of posts is NOT their being upset that their car didn't make the list. It's that IF their car had of made the list, they would have posted the link up and yammering on about how their car made another list and how wonderful the ranking was.

When people whine because the people who did the rankings didn't place their car on some silly list, it makes them appear juvenile. But then again, most of the people who come to forums and buy camaros are, more than likely, juveniles, so I guess it is par for the course.

I have no idea why anyone cares what a magazine thinks. If YOU love your car, then that's all that matters, but I really believe that most people derive the love from their car only if other people like it, but I doubt many would ever admit it.
Magazines should definitely be trusted. Car and Driver also made a comparison that said the GT500 barely outperforms the SS, so should we believe that as well?

i guess you didn't read the whole article? straight from Jalopnik:
"At the risk of stating the obvious, yes, you may perceive this list as flawed. It's not. You may think other cars are more practical, more attainable, more reliable, or more well-rounded. Whatever. We don't care; this is what we like."

i italicized and bolded it for ya. that way you won't be able to miss it this time.

and btw the gt500 spanks the ss so i'm with you...i have no clue why they would say that

I replied to the statement that you made saying that two out of the three big magazines liked the Mustang better, and I just said that they also said that the GT500 barely outperforms the SS. Why trust them? I could care-a-less which car they liked better than the other.
