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:
just looked up the P zero trofeo r on the new Z28.
