The real problem is that so many people are into bench racing and NOT putting things to the real test - the track. If 10 magazines all say CAR A is faster than CAR B then CAR A Forum Members are going to get seriously ticked off when an owner of CAR B comes along and says it beat a CAR A on the street or track. "no freakin' way dude!" they'll all say, "look at what all the magazines say! We got X HP, you got X-10 HP, your stupid CAR B couldn't beat our way very super cool CAR A if you shot it out of a cannon oh yeah and by the way you suck!"
And the fact of the matter will remain that on that given day, against that given car with that given driver, your CAR B did, in fact, beat CAR A to the finish line. (I still don't think I should be able to outrun a Mustang GT but I've done it at the track a couple of times[:I])
Remember a few years ago when the San Diego Chargers finished the regular season with a won/loss record of 1-15? How would you like to be the ONLY team that lost to them that year.
"Hey, San Diego, you guys suck!"
"Oh yeah, we beat you, didn't we!?!?!?"
