[QUOTE="Cman01, post: 16372314, member: 138028"] If I made a product and a 3rd party was testing it and the results will be known to the world I would make sure the product I'm supplying is representative of what is available to the masses and delivers the goods so the results of the 3rd party testing will be positive. It's not the magazine testing's fault for the GT500 coming to the party with worn tires. The tires on the Camaro may not be worn but they weren't brand new tires either. I agree, for a real test both of those cars should have fresh tires for the best results but magazine car tests doesn't include buying 4 new tires for the car they are testing. So again, I don't get car mags getting 11.3-4xx 1/4 mile et's out of a GT500 then miraculously on a prepped track surface at a dragstrip the car run 10.6's. You can blame testing surface BUT...………………... Car mags have a 19 ZR1 going 10.80@133 (Road & Track got one going 10.6@135), they would test this car on the same track surface as the GT500 tests (so you can say the surface sucks but you can't say the testers can't drive, why can they get a wicked time out of a ZR1 but not a GT500 on the same testing surface????) I question these "bone stock (or close to stock)" GT500 dragstrip et's running mid 10's (mods being done but not disclosed), or the car is just picky in how the track is prepped to be able to run the mentioned #'s.
