Ford Mustang GT
Performance improvements are always applauded by ponyphiles, but
mention the word "refinement" and they'll begin mobbing Ford
headquarters with pitchforks in hand. To them "refinement" equals
wimpy, lame and most definitely not Mustang. Yet, noticeably less wind
and road noise and a higher-quality cabin don't sully any of the fun —
nor the V8's wonderful growl that's actually channeled into the cabin
via an induction tube.
After all, it's that visceral, blood-pumping emotion that ensures the
Mustang's survival. Turn the key and feel the big V8 rumble as it roars
to life. Then stab the throttle, dump the clutch and leave greasy black
tire streaks on the pavement in a cloud of white smoke. For more than
45 years, this ritual has been a staple in the life of the Ford
Mustang. Hailed as revolutionary when it debuted in 1964, the Mustang
takes an evolutionary step forward for 2010, while remaining true to
its roots. (Team Winmark - Sunday 23 August 2009)

Pontiac G8 GXP - Performance
On our standard handling loop through the canyons, the GXP acquitted
itself well despite its prodigious 196.1-inch length (5 inches longer
than a BMW 5 Series). Body roll is kept in check by the sport-biased
FE3 suspension, and the light steering is quick and responsive.
Tire-smoking power oversteer is a cinch out of 2nd-gear corners, yet
the GXP always feels stable and predictable, even when you're going
sideways. However, we feel the G8 GT with its FE2 setup is equally
competent — its slalom speed at our test track was virtually identical
to the GXP's, and there are few if any discernible handling differences
from behind the wheel.
Braking performance was excellent at 110 feet from 60 mph, though the
GT once again nips at the GXP's heels with its 113-foot panic stop. As
for fuel economy, EPA estimates stand at 13 mpg city and 20 mpg highway
for the GXP, which is considerably worse than both the GT (15/24) and
the LS3-powered Corvette (16/26). We averaged a woeful 15.4 mpg in our
GXP — but if you're interested in this car, that's probably not cause
for concern.

Land Rover Range Rover Supercharged Autobiography - Performance
The
brakes are fantastic, bringing the Range Rover to a stop from 60 mph in
115 feet with no fade or forward dive. Of course, nobody expects a
Range Rover to handle like a luxury sedan or even a Porsche Cayenne. It
is certainly easier to drive around town than the rolling bank vault
otherwise known as the Mercedes G-Class, but the Range Rover is still
tall and prone to excessive body roll. The slow-ratio, nice-and-easy
steering can be described with faint praise as "precise for an
off-roading vehicle."
But as an off-roading vehicle, the Range Rover manages to provide that
go-anywhere nature expected from a vehicle wearing the Land Rover
badge, while not seeming brutish and punishing everywhere else. Its air
suspension has a high setting for crawling over rough terrain and a low
setting to provide easier access for passengers and reduce the chance
of parking garage roof scrapes. The Terrain Response System allows the
driver to select among five different settings for powertrain,
suspension, the differentials and stability/traction systems. Each is
designed for predetermined conditions — general, snow, mud, sand and
rock crawl. In our testing, we found that making changes to the Range
Rover's Terrain Response System affected the way it performed and
reacted in low-traction situations, though the system is more about
tailoring the Range to particular conditions than greatly extending its
capability.
