Me too! I think the point is that lately there verdicts have become very obvious Porsche/lamborghini seemingly always victorious in group tests.

Anyoneone remember ECOTY when the Subaru P1 beat the Ferrari 575? Can you imagine that happening again? No? Me either..

As an owner of an S2000 and VXR my view on straight line performance is

that the S2000 is slightly quicker 0-60 due to better traction but from 60-100 the 2 cars are about the same.

The VXR beating evos is just a little optomistic

Have you measured the times, or is that just what you 'feel'? In which case it's meaningless.
