I was surprised by the 1LE. The 1LE seems like a bargain for what it is. As with many GM vehicles, though, the interior and overall packaging of the car leave a lot to be desired.

Ferraris have always been coddled at these type of comparison tests. Many car rags have referred to this practice in the past.

Sounds like the new 911 is a massive improvement over the 997 cars. For the 911S to be that quick with "only" 400hp is telling.
