Are you kidding? I get the impression he doesn't even have a driver's license yet.

Well, the search function is a wonderful thing... Here's an excerpt from one of his earlier posts:
 
What I want is to be able to safely attack turns aggressively and to be able to accellerate quickly from rest or at lower speeds.
 
It sounds like dialogue from one of my son's Initial D manga comics(though I must admit that they ARE kind of fun to read).

LOL...I see I'm not the only one to think that way.
 
Actually, after I read his post, my first thought was that he should hide his car magazines before his homeroom teacher catches him and gives him detention - because then he'd either have to catch the late bus or call his mom to come pick him up.

Good because i tend to believe a well informed opinion regarding cars also includes a test drive , not regurgitating magazine exercepts or following the media hype

I think that enthusiast magazine tests and evaluations can be helpful, but you need to know the editorial slant of the magazine as well as that of the author. Unfortunately, most "experts" tend to forget all that and simply want to use the buff books to play a game of "mine's bigger" by comparing accelleration, braking and skidpad/slalom numbers...

A very astute poster on another forum (mikeebear) put it best (I've been waiting for a chance to pass it on).
 
"You can't look at cars like Pokemon cards, where each car has its own set of "stats" and "numbers" attached to it. They are to be driven and your analysis should come from how they drive."
