They hop online and act like schoolgirls hyping the car just because it's got a "Ferrari" crankshaft. Lieberman actually agrees with the markups. Ridiculous!

Keep in mind, they are crowning a "subjective" winner based off of feel and intangibles. A year or two ago, the Miata came in 3rd in the best driver's car competition. Which seems to be deserved. Look at how many Miata clubs there are and how many are on road courses every week. Things don't always have to be the fastest in the metrics to make someone enjoy driving the car.
But, where I disagree with Motortrend is they liked the harshness of the GT350R on the road. I'm not a big fan of that. I prefer cars that have a smoother ride when I'm on the road. It used to be that you could only have one or the other (planted on track or smooth on the road), but with the ZL1 (and the SS with MRC), you can have both. For me, this is why I would pick the ZL1 as the best car overall, even though I may like to drive the GT350R on a road course more (I prefer N/A power).
