Chewy Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 I'd seen this last week I think... 4th place in the 1/4 isn't bad when you look at the top 3 and there specs and pricing... I have to agree with the final verdict too... Porsche makes one hell of a well rounded car. Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wardo Posted August 28, 2012 Share Posted August 28, 2012 Best part of the video is the slow motion at the end. It will show people that don't understand how much of a difference trap speeds and actual times look in real life. . 10 is Damn near 2 full car lengths. tap a talka thingy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mikegeaney Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 It appears the Subie pulled that Black Series...at least for the first 20 feet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diggerdan11 Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 Its funny I saw that video and I knew exactly what place they would come in. The only one I got wrong was I thought the Camaro would beat the 911, but the 911 beat it by a little bit. I dont know why the heck the BRZ was in there, it really was not fair. I think its a cool car, but it does not belong in a drag race with the Aventador and GT-R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DemoN Posted August 29, 2012 Share Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) Yeah... I see how you could think that would be a well rounded "drivers car". lol depends on the driver. cuz i would drive the living HELL outta that. NO stop light would be safe. But...correct me if i'm wrong....but isn't this a drag race? I'm kinda new to racing and all, but i thought the point of a drag race was to see who was the fastest in a 1/4 mile?

That was actually a long test to prove out of that group, which was the best all around drivers car. That was only one small part of it.

Redbeard Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 and the Lambo finished last in the best driver article, ha! 2012 Motor Trend Best Driver's Car - Motor Trend This is a great concept. MT does just about all you can reasonably expect to make this a fair competition, but no matter how you slice it "best driver's car" will always be subjective. And while auto magazine guys have one of the best jobs around, you can't please everyone no matter what you do. Also, from the article: First of all, the car has to be on sale (or at least, about to be on sale) in the United States of America. This is why we don't have Paganis, Koenigseggs, or that bright-red Ferrari on our cover, the F12 Berlinetta. Here's to next year. OK, fine, but "why no Corvette ZR1?" Well, because three years ago, when the ZR1 competed in our 2009 Best Driver's Car, it finished in 6th place behind the 2010 Shelby GT500...Since it didn't win then and hasn't been substantially changed since, we didn't invite the Blue Devil back. You will notice that last year's second-place car, the Nissan GT-R, is back. That's because Nissan has implemented a schedule of continuous Godzilla improvement, and this year's version makes more power and has a tweaked transmission and a revised suspension. We invited last year's winning Ferrari 458 Italia to come and defend its crown, but Ferrari declined. It also declined to give us the 458 Spyder, the reworked California, and the FF.
