They rip the Nismo's "tight shifting" transmission ( no mention of the advantages of synchro rev) but say that the mustang 5 spd is good for what it is. ?!?
American car mags are biased in favor of American cars, because they are American (both writers and cars). Euro car mags (I should say British mags, the ones I can read...) simply hate anything American, and will spend a whole test article Flaming a Z06 for lack of sophistication, or vauge steering, or poor refinement, or cheap interior, after it's whipped all the Ferrari's, BMW's, and Porsches in every measureable test. And if they do a test in America, they'll spend half the article making fun of Americans, before they even get to the car bit.
