    Science Proves That A Mazda Has Best Chance Of Winning 24 Hours Of LeMons; Porsches Doomed

    Before all you statistics freaks start screaming "small sample size," relax and accept these graphs for what they are: the result of many hours of painful labor trying to extract meaningful data from official race results from a year of races cross-referenced with our LeMons Über Gallery posts to determine car make/model. What we learn is quite interesting: Japanese cars tend to do the best (RX-7, CRX), but the Chevy Caprice comes out on top as the LeMons car most likely to take the checkered flag. Mercedes-Benz, VW, and Porsche? Bottom-feeders! Make the jump to learn more, and be sure to check in this weekend for our coverage of the New England LeMons event!
