Would you prefer they used the "Sport" G37 @ $45k with bigger wheels and brakes, or the AWD version of the G37 @ $42k? Which would be a better test to compare? Same engine. Still a big price difference.


how about we do a ss camaro(msrp of $32k) vs the top of the line genesis? i mean the gc is more expensive it should be faster right?

you know that was sarcasm right? the base v6 is like 29k



my point is when you setup a study like this but ignore the variables you can set up what ever outcome you want



as i said before if we are only concidering engine size why not put the base gc vs a evo? i mean they are both 4 cyl turbos the test should be fair right?



how about we do a offroad test between the gc and a v6 f150?

Or you could have tests to fit the market you're competing against directly, such as the Infiniti G37 for example.
