Lets see, GMHTP would that be GM High Tech (Hey theres an Oxymoron)Crapazine.

Of course there going to dummy down the competition. Of Course there going to give a biased view.

I know this sounds like a conspiracy theorist at work, but you guys do know that The car manufactures have been caught giving magazines cars that are "pepped up" A little, and they are the ones that usually supply the comparison vehicle also. For example.

Chevy brings out new LS-1. MotorTrend wants to compare that and the GT. Chevy sends a Z28 thats got a little "tweaking" in the computer, over the regular production version. They also may even go as far to run a whole diffrent exhaust.

Then they supply the Mustang GT also. The place a restritor in the intake, or exhaust.

These car mags have started taking there test cars to the dyno's. They have also found some car Manufactures little cheats also.

A stock Z28 LS-1 hitting 12.8 in the quarter. What ever brand crack that guy is smoking, he better change it, it really messing him up.
