Yeah thanks for posting that article up. I only skimmed it, but it sounds like they wanted to rank it first, but the formula they used to determine the winner placed a heavy emphasis on objective performance numbers where the 86's tires held it back. In particular, its braking numbers (worst in test) and track times (mid-pack) were really hampered by the non-performance tires. Regardless, we all know the 86 is not a "numbers" car, and the fact that all but one judge ranked it first (especially given the strong competition) tells me all I need to know.
