I dont care what this comparison says.

A lightweight, shorter car in a track where there are a ton of sharp corners and less straights, should keep up with something heaver with more power.

On little talladega as they call it, Mikes 370z was easily hanging with the bigger beastly GTR's. He actually passed a few, Its a very short course, with sharp turns and the straights arent very long at all.

Also, why would you NOT want to compare a car against something that would normally be considered better? The point is to try and upsell the car. The Z was compared to the z4, the cayman...

Hyundai compares its cars to lexus etc.

Seriously guys.. stop getting butthurt... in the end, this comparison and article really won't mean anything. People will buy that car if they like it and they will buy the z if they like the z.

Maybe I am giving everyone the benifit of the doubt, but no one seems upset or butthurt...

And if the automaker wants to compare their vehicle to another automaker, thats one thing, but when mags and/or people start making comparisons based on handling characteristics and ignoring everything else then what is the point of even making the comparison... It ends up being just a bunch words not evern worth the paper they are written on. Case in point, you mention the Z being able to hang with the GTR's on a certain track, so why don't we compare the BRZ to the GTR?

I guess my point is, yellow journalism is stupid...

Totally unrelated to the above, one of the first things the article says is this:

We’ve come to the Cote d’Azur to find out one thing. Has the Subaru BRZ earned its place at the top table alongside the likes of the Mazda RX-7, Nissan 200SX and Toyota Supra.

And then it never actually uses these cars as a comparison. Lol.
