2013 Motor Trend Best Driver's Car The Dirty Dozen: 12 of the Greatest Sports Cars You Can Buy in America Fight for the Crown Let's get one thing out of the way: We wanted the C7 Corvette Stingray to be here. We begged Chevrolet, but a last-minute delay in the start of production meant there was no car available in time for our test, and rescheduling 11 other cars and one of the world's most famous racetracks just wasn't possible. The Corvette will be invited again next year. Right, then. Let's get down to business. After years of trying, we've finally fulfilled editor-at-large Angus MacKenzie's dream of getting 12 of the best-driving cars on sale in the U.S. together in one test. They come from all backgrounds, from the affordable Ford Focus ST to the stately Bentley Continental GT Speed to the absolutely wild SRT Viper. But how do we compare such diverse competitors? Best Driver's Car is a bridge between these two factions. We subject every competitor to our regular battery of instrumented tests and an all-out hot lap at Mazda Raceway Laguna Seca at the hands of one of the winningest drivers in America, Randy Pobst. We collect more data about how the cars behave than we do in any other comparison test, but the numbers inform our decision rather than dictate it. As MacKenzie is fond of saying, if numbers were all that mattered, we'd test an F1 car and be done with it.
