Yawning,

eseaton.... your point is?....

Look it just just life... Everybody expects the same of journos as politicians.

So why fight a non-malignant reality?

Grow up and get a life.

Not one of you pommy dudes asked the question in the ZR-1 Corvette vs Lamborghini Murcielago "merry-go-round on a track with no room to pass" comedy/ debacle/ article,

"why were the relative positions not reversed in a back-up run?"

Could it have been that the ZR-1 with 27% more peak torque

(835 Nm at only 3350 RPM vs 660 Nm at 6500 RPM)

(90% of it developed between 2600 rpm and 6000)

and 100lb less weight than the Murcielago would have left it for dead?

Consider the following. Could it be that such a back up run was in fact undertaken and there was no need to argue about blocking, overtaking and room - that torque unlimited did the talking, together with 1.1 lateral G skidpad capabilty and that the ZR-1 romped away?

Now, I'm hep to the ability of 4WD; I drive an Evo X with SAWC which pulls over 1.0 lateral G on a skidpad and 1.6 on a racetrack, but the way that the ZR-1 was crowding the rear of that Murcielago and had to brake after closing in on it has me wondering so much...

Did Lamborghini put the Kybosh on reporting / publicising a reversed position run because of an unfavourable result? Did Autocar "journos", not wanting to miss out on any Lamborghini joyrides and/or limit the range of their vehicle product tests, cave in to such pressure.....?

Anyway whore cares. The 2011 Murcielago replacement is expected to have 700 Horsepower, and the "latest news" will roll out and onward...

It's part of the game of oneupmanship, between manufacturers who produce their teams of gladiators, with the motoring journalists as happy little symbiotic parasites who benefit the manufacturers with publicity, kudos and advertising and we the consuming voyeurs are the crowd in the coliseum.... and some of us actually buy a gladiator from a winning team.

It's just life. You won't change a thing.....

so just observe,understand, and enjoy.

What is it with Autocar and these ridiculous Edo vandalisms? The outrageous power and performance claims are reported at face value as true (where does all this extra power come from?) and without qualification (what does it cost?)

Autocar has promoted so many of their creations as "Latest News" items. Has anyone at Autocar ever seen one of them, let alone driven one? Lazy and weak journalism. Or advertising dressed up as journalism.
