Go watch every magazine as much as you watch bm and then you can realize that every magazine is biased that's if you're not biased too...

its just like anonymous said...there biased, there obviosly not gonna be biased all the time, but if anyone has watched bm as much as i have, will no that bm is biased towards all but japanese cars!! come on, a nsx pulling away from a m6? a skyline r34 doing a 12.1 in the quarter mile..STOCK? i dont think so!!

explain why they didn't be biased for the gt-r when they compare it with the gallardo supperleggera they managed a better time in the gallado even when it wasn't faster in the rest of world track
have watched when they compare the 09 gt-r and the lp-560 plus the 430 scuderia in tsukuba (very wet)

this is the results
gt-r 1.15.257
lp 560 1.15.433 esp off
scuderia 1.18.558

and you can't consider this as a biased because all reviewers around the world test cars in different conditions and it doesn't matter if they choose rainy time or not
