Motor Trend, Stop Making this hard!

with one comment


I was very excited to see the new Motor Trend test to find “America’s best handling car”…. though I think it’s silly to not include the Vette, since the ZR1 is just as new as the Shelby 500KR and Viper ACR. That said I was SUPER ANNOYED by the lack of a clear leaderboard. Sheesh, stop trying to placate everyone, man up here and stack these cars properly! Since Motor Trend is too something, to do this, I’ve done it for them based on their own data.

When you need a pit crew to start up your “street car” you may be pushing the definition a little thin. Jump to 6 minutes 10 to see the action.
