Seems like everytime a US production spec GTR is tested the trap gets worse.
I like how the scores have "trunk space", "rear seat space", and "rebates, and extras"???? Ok, becouse thats what I look at when I buy a supercar.
What a shit ass review. When you're testing fast cars and you say "Not pretty...a robot seeking more soul...bawling, irrepressible understeer...quiet and antiseptic" about the car that finished first (which is also significantly slower than the other three), chances are nobody is going to take you seriously. Sounds positively boner inducing to me. 
damn that viper looks pretty sweet. I think it looks the best outta all 4 of them, and dodge sure did a good job on the handling of this car.
+1...they had scores for Driving Experience????/
ZO6 get a 100 in my book for driving experience...
So was this a DD test or a track car test????
They said the viper was to loud.......its a viper what do you want!!??

While it was an absolute joke of an article, it is the best thing I have seen in a long time. Where are all the GTR lovers that think this car is the greatest thing since sliced bread? The GTR got DESTROYED in the performance comparison. On the same day, same conditions, and same track, it lost in the quarter mile by SEVEN TENTHS AND 13 MPH to a little 'ole Z06, not even the big bad ZR1. The ACR should have easily been in first or last, depending on if they wanted a track car comparison or a street car comparison. How it managed third is beyond me. I don't even care they gave the GTR first place, which is a joke, but as long as the performance data shows that this car is NOT the end all be all of performance cars like everyone would have you to believe is good enough for me. :beer:
DAYUM! That ACR is a beast. The ZR1's better watch their rear view mirrors. Now Ford needs to pull something out of their ass quick.
I dont look at that either (notice I have a 2008 vette), but, I wouldnt mind if my supercar DID have good rear seat space and a spacious trunk.
Strange how the last 2 GTRs that Car and Driver has tested have been abnormally slow. The First test they did of the GTR, it ran faster than all of these cars (0-60 and 1/4 mile.) I hope it isnt a recurring trend.
The ZR1 will be the new King, with more than 130hp, plus equal or lower weight than the z06 everyone is going to be in trouble.

It's funny that you bring up that FACT about the GTR. I had the Motor trend article comparing the GTR, 911 Turbo, and the M3. The GTR they had for the that test couldn't even come close to their previous test, yet they were sent another car that ran similar #'s to the first. Hmmm...I'm betting that Nissan has been sending ringers the entire time :nono: :rollseyes, and now that the regular joe GTR's are showing up for these tests they aren't performing like what was suspected.
By the way, VIPER FOR THE WIN!!! That thing is downright badass looking, and absolutely destroyed the other cars on the track. I would take that care any day of week over all 3 of the others :rockon:
LOL, I started a war over this very article in road side. Bold prediction: ZR1 > ACR 1/4; ACR > ZR1 road course (after seeing this article) Prediction 2: ACR > Spec V (5.5 seconds is a lot to make up, a lot) Take that fanboys :fart:
