I quit listening to this stupid magazine back in 1996 or 1997, when they tested a dodge neon. Road and Track, Motor Trend, and other mags all achieved a 0-60 time of around 7.5 seconds. Consumer (biased) Reports? Oh, they claimed the neon did 0-60 in 11.5 seconds. Same car, same transmission. Neon enthusiasts were pissed off, and wanted to know why they listed such a horrible time. CR actually responded to them, saying they "didn't push the gas pedal down all the way, because they were simulating real world usage"
What the hell kind of testing is that? CR is at the bottom of the barrel for any type of crediblity, I hate that magazine. I wish you could buy NEGATIVE subscriptions that would hurt that company, they're so freaking biased against anything American it's just not even worth reading. I would, however, consider using it for toilet paper.
