but seriously... volumetric efficiency? shouldn't we be a higher efficiency ratio compared to lets say... a mustang? less space = less dead weight = higher efficiency... then again it depens what they define it as.

i like to WOT and redline and squirt about a doller worth of gas everytime i launch.

maybe that's why i was at 16l/100km prior to parking... :happydance:

for the americans, that's close to 15m pg or 14.7 mpg to be exact :P

Is this a sports car- Y
Does it corner well-Y
Enough room to put a helmet on- Y
Does it ride like a merc- N
Does it scare women a children- Y
Is it gas efficient- WGAF

Alright, all that other crap C&D usually test's for doesn't matter.

Excellent! I changed my only quibble with your list from "N" to the bolded.

I guess too many 'Mericans' were hoping the 370Z was an SUV. Sportscar by default means efficient use of space, or less space inherent vs Wal-Mart carrying capacity.

The only thing I lug around my trunk at all times: a pair of low profile ramps.

Do the guys who track their car take the spare out? Does that change the wt ratio front to back?

Magazines write to favor certain cars, so readers actually buy them, tipically American cars. If you notice every car out there is "best in its class" yet the car is actually a p.o.s.

was taking my girl to airport this morning, she's going on a 10 days vacation. As much as I was surprised how much stuff she needed for the 10 days, I was only able to find 1 way to fit it in the trunk w/ part of the case on the crossbar... So yeah I feel ya!

That is a hint....:) High Maintenance.

I don't understand the meaningfulness of the metric.

VE is an engine performance related value -- not relevant to stowing golf clubs.

Based on their concept of VE, a chest of drawers would be the ideal car. Somebody at C&D had too much time on their hands...
