I get your point, still, I appreciate automotive journalists pointing out shortcomings of things that may or may not be relevant to the buyer - you may not see the need for some practicality in a Viper (golf bags?) but you probably aren't a prospective buyer - hence your criticism of C&D is just as 'trivial'.

What shocked me was the 0-60 time of 6 seconds flat. C&D do have fast drivers and launch their cars in such an aggressive, abusive manner it'd be irresponsible for an owner to mimic but still.. that's a 1 second difference between them and the rest!
Calm down over there. Those are not official test numbers, it's what Car and Driver "estimates".

And I'll take Car and Driver's reviews over any other car magazine's. Seems like most rags these days, like Motortrend and especially Road & Track, seem to be on some sort of environmental crusade.
