The MCW6000 is more than a month old by a LONG shot (over 3 months old in fact). There for this is pretty irrelevant. Using old stock because no one has new stock dosn't justify using the old period. In fact it just shows how weak the WC market really is... Should have been excluded and I see no reason why it wasn't.
Also if your writting a freaking magazine it is their responsibility to make sure their content is UP TO DATE and accurate. What would the people at Car and Driver have to deal with if they used a 1999 Ford Mustang against a 2004 Corvett because they couldn't get a hold of a 2004 Mustang? They would get their ass sued off by Ford for starters but more importantly they would loose credibility and a large reader base. No one that is interested in a 2004 Mustang or Corvett wants to hear the comparison from 1999 Mustang to 2004 Corvett!
It would be amazingly biased not to get a modern Swiftech kit and update that article. That is if the people there are as legit and unbiased as they claim.
