In my opinion the takeaway should be that an article written for the CTR and timed for the CTR release, and using what is arguably the worst iteration of the 370Z out there (also in my opinion) for comparison, still had the Z hanging with the New Hotness in every test - and the reviewers still loved the Z for what it is; a dedicated sports car.
The CTR and the Subbie are technical marvels, and the science nerds at Honda and Subaru have wrung every iota of performance they can out of a cheap family car - and are to be applauded for it.
But at the end of the day they're still roided up family cars with all the soul of whatever marketing department green-lighted them.
