Thread: Biased review pro gencoupe

As much as I hate the mustang. And as much as I thought the camaro V6 vs genesis coupe by car and driver was sooooo biased pro camaro. I feel motor trend is doing the same toward the gencoupe.
Last year camaro beat genny in C&D by them claiming it was the gotta have it car. Meanwhile the stats all leaned toward the genesis coupe.
Genesis coupe: 0-60 5.5/qm 14.0, lat acc .91g roadholding
Camaro rs v6: 0-60 6.0/14.3qm, lat acc .87g roadholding.
The car and driver review was a slap in the face when the camaro won.

MOTOR TREND then showed preference when they tested the nissan 370z and G37 with unavailable oil coolers to get the incredible numbers that they got. 0-60 4.6/13.1qm lat acc 98g.

Now motor trend shows its biased toward hyundai again. The 2011 mustang V6 clearly spanked some hyundai azz. 0-60 5.1/13.7qm, lat acc .96g. Now somehow motor trend pulls a suspension part from the R-spec and made the genny go 0-60 in 5.4/14.0 and lat acc .94g. If the gen needed pirated parts to get slightly better numbers? I call that cheating. And as much I prefer the gen, I rather have an honest review. Not a biased one.
Hyundai, get your 7speed DCT in the hyundai and perfect the tune for genny. Those 2 things alone can get 320hp and I'm sure you can see natural number increases. Also. If the r spec suspension part is so good? Then just put it stock on a track. I don't care if it only cost $30 to add. Its not stock and doesn't deserve the add in this article.
Finally the numbers told the truth. Mustang makes a good car in the sense that it feels better in handling than it is. So I know those numbers will reflect behind tyhe wheel as well as on paper.

Magazines... cut the BS and go back to honest reporting.
