they only test cars that are new or revised for the year. also, the only reason the 2013 GTR was included was because they had one in their long term fleet. as they stated in the article multiple times, the testing is about how the car feels to the driver, not which ones provides the fastest lap times. they also stated that the aventador they tested was way heavier than the one they drove in italy and also felt strange. maybe they had a suspension setting wrong? i can't imagine that they had to add 300 lbs of structural reinforcement (and/or emissions) equipment to make it street legal here. that probably would have put it higher up in the pack. after reading the comments by the editors i thought the mclaren would have scored much higher but like they said, the car does too much for you while you drive it. many of my friends (who've never been in the car much less driven one) argue that the GTR does the same thing but they explicitly say that's simply not the case.

early prediction for next year's BDC: the new viper will be top 3
