Lows A wallflower in engine grunt, guzzles gas like a private jet. Verdict The winner, but 100 horsepower short of perfect. 2nd Place Audi TT 2.0T - 192 Points 0-60 - 6.0 0-100 - 15.4 1/4 Mile 14.6 @ 97 mph 5-60 - 6.6 70-0 - 157 300 ft skidpad - .93 Highs Feels like a luxury car, performs like a proper sports car. Lows Front-wheel drive and it shows, useless back seat, expensive. Verdict A GTI wrapped in a sexy skin. 3rd Place Nissan 350Z - 167 Points 0-60 - 5.2 0-100 - 12.6 1/4 Mile 13.7 @ 104 mph 5-60 - 5.6 70-0 - 169 300 ft skidpad - .93 Highs Most bang for the buck, great steering and brakes, fastest on the track. Lows Cheap interior, engine sounds like a coffee grinder inside the car. Verdict Great performance makes the flaws bearable. 4th Place Ford Shelby GT - 165 Points 0-60 - 5.1 0-100 - 12.6 1/4 Mile 13.7 @ 104 mph 5-60 - 5.5 70-0 - 189 300 ft skidpad - .92 Highs Rumbling exhaust, power oversteer on demand, gets plenty of gawkers. Lows JC Whitney-esque hood scoop, not much faster than a Mustang GT. Verdict Still unsophisticated-and proud of it |
