That mag sucks - they don't actually test cars. They just take pictures of them and then publish the manufacturer's claimed numbers as fact.

Whichever editor wrote that should be given a ride in AMS Evo down the dragstrip and then pushed out of the passenger seat right after it hits 140mph. He should be writing for nothing more than a weekly high school newspaper. Moron

Let go of the button...........

David E. Davis left his long-time position as the editor of C&D to form Automobile. He felt that publishing test data did little to convey the experience of driving a given car and decided to base the editorial premise of the publication on subjective impressions. This requires more input from the reader and will most definitely deter any magazine racer from patronizing the text.

no they're just not in the know. the nisei is one of the largest intercoolers you can possibly buy and it fits inside the crash beam.

You guys do know that that issue of Automobile is more than two years old, right? So of course not every statement they make would still be standing today.
