Why does best motoring hate the Z

Yeah Getrag has facilities all over the world. Really, everyone does these days. And quality isn't necessarily about where a product is produced, it's about the quality control procedures in place at each particular facility. Yeah there are factories in China that make counterfeit toothpaste, but there are also factories that build super high tech, quality stuff.

Anyways, when you look at the different manufacturers and suppliers and rivalries with an objective viewpoint you really realize that what it comes down to is everybody is fvcking everybody... there is so much overlap across brands, even rival brands, that it's hard to say "well A is better than B" because A and B are both built out of the same stuff. And in many cases B helped A develop some special part that A uses to beat B with on the track.

Think about the level of sharing these days... you've got Ford licensing technology to Nissan that they use to build the GT-R with... GM licenses technology to Ferrari for the suspension on the 458. Saab/Subaru have shared platforms. Toyota/GM have shared hybrid technology... And they all share common suppliers! It goes on and on and on and on... Everybody's fvcking everybody!

The good kind of fvck, btw.
