I agree with you that the magazine test in question does raise an eyebrow or two.
But this....
I'm simply not buying it.
Here is Stotty's reasoning:
D > A
E > A
A > B
Therefore, the conclusions one could draw are...
D > B
E > B
But somehow you THINK he is drawing this conclusion:
Z > B
Even though Z is never mentioned. Nor implied.
If you read closely he subliminally implies that Z > B.
When he says: "If the Z is that much better than a Mustang I hate to THINK how BAD the Mustang must be"...because he himself has a hard time imagining how awful the Mustang is, since the 370Z in his eyes is already bad enough according to some ragazine test he read (which was only a narrow minded test at that, in order to use to his favor 
)...and picturing in his head how bad the Mustang would be is inconceivable in his mind, given his past experiences with cars he's driven (which yes, includes his Porsche) and what he's heard in mag reviews which often are far from giving one a complete story and analysis of a car in ALL spectrums. Especially the Scirocco/Focus/370Z comparison, of course which he tried to use in an attempt to discredit the Z as being a genuine sports car 
I mean, Really!?
YET when you get down to it, he has driven NONE of the cars that we've discussed (370Z, Mustang, Scirroco R, Focus RS), so how can he in ANYWAY think of, or imagine how bad the Mustang must be when he has absolutely NOTHING of any validity to BASE his judgment off of!!!???
This is what I've been getting at now for several post, with no real explanation...just ducking and turning of heads.
And how is he coming up with the 370Z being better than the Mustang when he doesn't seem to want to take into account anything I say anyways? After all, I was the one who said the 370Z is much more of a "sports car" in comparison to the Mustang. I guess it's just a matter of picking and choosing to help him belittle another car, and when I made that comment it allowed him to jump in with his sly/arrogant comment, with nothing more to add! Cool 👍
You are jumping to conclusions and personally, I think you're allowing your past negative experiences with other Porsche owners to unfairly influence your interaction with this one. You are failing to differentiate him from all the other Porsche owners you've talked to because you assume they are all alike. They're not.
I don't prejudge anyone. His passing of judgment when he has no experience with any of these cars is what made me comment on his rather ignorant statement. To say you can't "think" of how bad a car is when you have NOTHING valid to base your judgment on is IGNORANCE.
I think it's time to let it go.
Why? I think you guys just need to examine was said a little bit closer.
+1. Please make your responses outside the quotes, timeattack. Thanks.
I don't see how it's hard to read. My responses are in bold and I'm only speaking to you...I don't really care if outsiders can or can not differentiate between my responses and yours. The discussion is between you and me. It might not be the politically correct way of quoting, but I'll keep doing it as I don't see one bit how it makes things anymore difficult to read. My way of doing it is simply more condensed and less cluttered, with all my responses coming after a meaningful sentence or paragraph in which I felt like responding to. Simple enough 👍

You might as well start with a V8 at the point like I did 
A factory motor that can compete with GM LSX series...good stuff 👍
This 5.0L is to be a Falcon motor too, so news is good to hear.
