Chevy paying "under the table" for favorable review. It's nothing new in the automative world journalism. Automative politics at its best.

I'm sorry I would bet my life savings if you ask any reputable car enthusiast who knows there car stuff if a Chevy was better then a 911 Turbo S, more than 95% or higher would pick the Porsche. As much as I like the ZR1 Corvettes, even they would fall short against the Porsche and that's Chevy's Flagship car.

The list should be:
1.Porsche 911
2.Nissan GTR
3.BMW M4/i8

^ Everything else below the line

The new Z/28 is getting accolades from a lot of auto journalists so it's likely that the car is actually quite good and a true drivers car with it's manual gearbox, raw dog chassis and minimal accessories. Of course the 911 Turbo S should have won but it's two hundred fucking grand!!

Don't get me wrong, I love Porsche as much as the guy P-car lover but the price difference between the two and the creature comforts that the new 911 Turbo S offers takes away from the "drivers car" awards IMO. But who knows, maybe you're right and Chevy greased the writers for a win :shrug:

I guess the Z/28 won because it's the most 'car' out of the bunch?

By car I mean it's all engineering without luxury gimmicky shit. This car would be a horrible daily driver. 305s in the front :fuckthatshit:

I'm going to use a lame comparison but this could be GM's version of Ferrari hypercars but with different principles in mind I think?

I guess people can't get passed the Camaro shell but the performance numbers don't lie.

60 treadwear rating with a replacement cost of around $500usd each :eek:

Shrug, modern cars are pretty much all for bragging rights. How many people actually push their car beyond 5/10s of what they're capable of?
