Still good though...Not sure how a Ford Focus makes it so high on the list though..

More importantly... Here is how the GT86 performs compared to the other cars tested.. At number 143.. There are many other worthy cars below ours..

There should have been a "d" or "m" for the damp/moist track when they tested it. |

I think what's really crazy is look at the cars that are from the last 5 years on that list:
(2008 and up) Vauxhall Ampera Dacia Duster Ferrari FF Alfa Romeo 8C Spider Jaguar F-type V6S Mercedes Benz CLK Black Aston Martin V12 Vantage McLaren 12C Spider Lamborghini Murcielago LP-670SV Range Rover Ford Focus ST Nissan GT-R Lexus LFA Ferrari 458 For the most part that is some damn good company

And not 1 JDM 90's sports Icon?
No Supra? No Mr2? No Rx7? No NSX? No Skyline No Silvia? Not saying they should all be on their, but jesus, a ford focus and none of these icons? |

The Focus Euro version has always been a very competent car and in some euro markets even had an AWD version. However, I do agree that I am shocked that the cars you listed aren't there.
