Do you think just maybe the same person(s) flooding the votes for the S2000 is doing the same for the Infinity so they don't have to face the Subaru in the next round?
Just a thought. Maybe someone at Forbes needs to be made aware of what is going on.

It's a little sad now to see all the little people spending time adding their single votes here and there. The people on the S2K forum need to realize that one guy is (or could be if he wanted to) responsible for 95+% of their votes.
Oh well, fun while it lasted.

who the hell made these brackets? wouldn't it be smart to put the SUVs in their own bracket as well as the "luxury" cars? what kind of matchup is an Infiniti QX to a STI? this poll is kinda stupid...but it got my vote. to tell the truth, i think that the 8 is gonna get taken by the STI. They are just in two different classes. a good bracket would have been:
RX-8 v S2K and 350Z v G35
RX-8 v S2K and 350Z v G35

Only 110 votes up. We were over 150 up yesterday around this time and at about 9pm EST, the S2K guys were up by almost 200. The car that wins this ridiculous poll will depend on what time they shut it down.

For anyone not viewing the other thread about this, the poll ended at 4pm EST. We lost by 3 votes out of a total of more than 10,000. If you didn't vote, you ruined everything for all of us!

For the S2K guys who may be lurking here's a graph showing the voting history over the past day or so I've been monitoring it. It was a fun competition. It was insanely close at the end. The S2K is shown in pink and the RX-8 in blue.

From the S2000 site:
Dragon F6: " now someone should go over to the Rx forums and congratulate the Rx guys on a poll well Cheated.
To prove how pointless the poll is, we should combine our forces and skew the results of the next rounds.....make the most unexpected car win."
