Testing cars can be a labor of work and certainly a labor of love as well.  It seems almost cruel to make these guys test these cars out just to tell us about them and bring us their opinions.  I can’t imagine a better way to make a living than to take some of the best cars in the world and head out to the track on a bright sunny day to see which one will come out on top.  The cruelty these guys must have felt just to bring this information to us is unbearable.
