Alot of those type of magazines have sucky drivers,IMO Motor Trend is the worst,but R/T sucks also.The worst I've seen is by some newspaper[don't remember which one,read it online] that tested a SRT4 and a Cobalt SS/SS,and the best they could do is a 14.9 for the SRT and like a 15.2 for the Cobalt,talk about incompantant!!

When I read some of the MT or RT times I actually believe those more than other magazines. Sure a lot of their times suck but it reflects what an average(most) driver can do and not some crazy nut that you'll never run into on the streets.

Well how pissed would you be if you read about some John Force times in your car and then tried yourself and didn't come near it? Mags have to be more realistic to the average consumer, not Johhny drag racer.
