They only test new models. The Twins haven't changed since 2012, so why would they include them again?

Another 33 pages of filler by Car and Driver. I don't care how fast any of these cars can lap a given track. I drive on the street and feel is all I care about. And lighter cars feel better anyway.

they cant cater to everyone. if they spoke of feel then people would bitch about how it isnt objective journalism. people with slow cars harp on feel and people with fast cars harp on numbers. its just the way it is.

most of the top cars ARE heavy. considering a supercharger on the ZL1 only made it 4 seconds faster thatn the SS model on a decently long track with high speed straights.

after 100 mph, weight doesn't hold the car back. its power and aero. the Bugatti Veyron is quite the pig, but the weight actually helps with stability at higher speeds.

The 458 is NA and has a considerably smaller engine than the ZL1 and almost makes the same power

weight is a huger factor, the 500 lbs difference shows with almost a 10 second gap between the 458 and the ZL1.
