Cool

Here, you guys be the judge on whether MotorTrend's test seems "less credible" than Autocar's, or if you have an "untrained eye" like footie claims.


MotorTrend's Test:
[u2b]<object width="425" height="344"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/OZlGMX8G3B4&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/OZlGMX8G3B4&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"></embed></object>[/u2b]

AutoCar's Test:
[u2b]<object width="560" height="340"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/vD9AW-EB3vo&hl=en&fs=1&"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/vD9AW-EB3vo&hl=en&fs=1&" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="560" height="340"></embed></object>[/u2b]

1/4 mile-
MotorTrend's ZR1 time: 11.2
AutoCar's ZR1 time: 12.06

Not only that, but on AutoCar's test, the GT2 somehow "beats" the ZR1 and traps higher. WTF?

Almost a 1 second difference on exactly the same test.

Sorry, but the proof is there for all to see, AutoCar blows.
