NFB - What is Car & Driver on?!?!

[Z Ya Later]

So, I'm watching their roadster comparison on Spike...what are they on?!?! How does the C6 lose to the Boxster?!?! Now I know why I subscribe to Motor Trend and not C&D. Oy!!!!

C & D has to come up with the strangest results. I think they do it for self promotion.

I still don't get it. They said the C6 roadster turned in the best lap times, had the most power, etc. etc. etc. but lacked "finese". Maybe when you're having a bad trip the car just doesn't seem right lol

Post 975...almost to the motormouth club lol

So wait... the C6 had better performance in all areas, right? It was faster, it lapped faster, it stopped shorter, etc... is that right?

As long as they got all that right then it's fine... but I never know anymore since Top Gear actually had a C6 losing a drag race to an NSX.

The P-Car does have more finesse, I can see where they are coming from on that.

Yup. The Boxster may have more "finesse", but finesse doesn't turn better lap or 1/4 times. You pay more for less motor and a name. That's crap.

Naw... have you ever driven a Porsche? They're 100x smoother than a Corvette -- that's what they mean by "finesse". It isn't all about image and name... some people prefer the smoother ride.

In a comparo with the 05 gto and mustang. The gto out performed the mustang in EVERYTHING except roadholding and they gave the mustang a 10 in performance and the gto a 9 How does that happen, faster 1/4 mile, topspeed, acceleration, braking, yet it turns in a lower score Don't konw about C and D

BEAST...

Ok, so the Porsche edges out the Vette in smoothness, but looses in everything else (including price) and its better??? Vette still should've had it.

Yeah, I saw that. I'd take the 05 GTO over the mudstain any day of the week...what a pile.

Yeah, no kidding. lol They actually told people to get the auto C5 Vette instead of the stick because its "easier to drive"...panzies

I am interested in seeing if C&D have anything bad to say about the new Z car when it hits the streets

[Master of Stiks]

I think that before buying a car all consumers should have to take a competence test.

"Well sir it seems you scored in the average vehicle competence ranking...looks like that will get you into one of our brand new Ford Mustangs, with an automatic, for more convieniant driving..."

Just a thought.

Which new Z car? The one hopefully coming out in 2007 as the new Z28?

lol There we go. That'd sure help to keep the idiots off the streets.

I'm convinced that C&D is bought off by the manufacturers.

Ya know, I really wouldn't be surprised. Motor Trend seems to be the only magazine that I've read that actually seems to be impartial.
