Motor Trend's Best Driver's Car Top 10

Well, Motor Trend was at it again. The gang teamed up with pro-racer Randy Pobst to put together a list of the hottest performance cars on the market. The winner was given the title: “Best Driver’s Car”.

The vehicles’ rankings were based off ALOT of material, 18 pages to be exact. To summarize, the collected data included a combination of speed, braking performance, acceleration data and pure subjective “in the seat” driver’s experience.

And here are the results:

  • #10 Chevy Camaro SS
  • #09 BMW 135i
  • #08 Jaguar XFR
  • #07 Nissan 370Z Nismo
  • #06 Chevrolet Corvette ZR1
  • #05 Ford Shelby Mustang GT500
  • #04 Cadillac CTS-V
  • #03 Mazda MX-5 Miata
  • #02 Audi R8
  • #01 Porsche Cayman S

What are they thinking?  Do YOU agree with this top 10? We would like to hear your opinion. Blog with us.

they can't be serious? They are saying an MX-5 Miata and a Mustang outperform a ZR1 based on their criteria? Its no wonder I stopped reading MT. I would have expected the ZR1 in the top 3

Mazda Miata #3??? C'mon Motor Trend. Are you realling trying to tell me that a Miata is better than a Camaro or Z???

Not to mention the SS Trailblazer is a better vehicle than that Cayman S.

What are they thinking. How does a Mazda Miata end up on the same list as a ZR1. What are the standards that they are basing this off of?
