EDIT: Actually,C&D shows too many overall biases on certain brands to even hold them credible. No other mag is as one sided as C&D. I only will read the first drives & long term tests in that mag. Performance TESTS i leave to R&T and MT.

If you rely on any magazine for performance test data, you're likely to be disappointed.

You posted it. They said it did not feel like the car brought all 350 ponies. Meaning it felt slower then it really should be.

Meaning it felt slower than a 350hp car should.
