C/D's Editor-In-Chief is Csaba Csere. He has owned several 911s. My observations is that C/D is bias towards Porsche (and BMW) in nearly every comparison test they do. Even when these cars don't perform as well (at least on paper) as other sports cars. Case in point: Boxster vs Corvette. I have yet to see a comparison test where the Vette wins even though, on paper it, is a much better performing sports car. It is great that C/D doesn't rate cars depending on their on-paper performance and that it takes in other factors (drivability, feel, fun, etc) also. Of course, this is where every Porsche ever made has shined. That is what has me bias too.

BTW, the 996 Turbo weighs 3500 pounds! The Z06 is 3126 lbs. AWD, navigation systems and automatic trannys don't belong on 911 Turbos. But that is another matter......
