motor trend is a good magazine. They are sometimes bias in there views. think about it, you drive around sweet expensive cars and then get into a cheap blue coller vehicle, your obviously gonna think less of it. The one thing i've learned is that their quarter mile times are much slower then in reality. This is true for most car magazines that test cars. Every car i've ever owned i looked up and i always run much faster at the track. one magazine said my 04 spec v ran 15.6. i ran 15.1 my first time out with it. Other mag stated my 99 cobra ran a 13.8. i ran a 13.3 first time out. My 2000 z24 one mag posted 15.9. i ran a 15.3. However they do know what they are doing in the road coarses, they are normally pretty accurate in their statments in that department.
