it's a handling and feel comparison, so lap times and numbers are irrelevant. They are not comparing which cars are the fastest, rather which cars are more rewarding and fun to drive at the limits. a car can be slow but very fun to drive at its limits. or a car can be very fast but downright scary when driven hard. a viper for example is faster than a boxster, but the boxster is a better handler because it's more balanced and more confidence-inspiring at its limits. it's not about laptimes, 0-60, or how many g on a skidpad. overall, their list makes a lot of sense. however, the inclusion of the z06 and gti are bizzare. the z06 based on all i've read is very scary and twitchy at its limit and very difficult to tame with over 500hp going to the rear wheels just ready to fishtail at any moment in the corner. the gti handles very good for a fwd car, but i'm pretty sure it's still not as balanced as the z, or the lancer evo, or the mazda mx-5
