You are such a moron. If the Taurus is equipped from the factory with bad tires, that is ford’s fault, noone elses. If you test the car in stock form, it is how it comes from the factory. If 240sx came from the factory with crazy ass brakepads, R compound tires, and 18 inch drilled and slotted rotors with 12 piston calipers, then that is how you test it. When you start adding different parts to make it ‘fair’, you are screwing with the test and influencing the results so your precious ford comes out on top. I am sure the magazines wouldn’t put better parts on one car for their objective tests.
