In the early days of digital camera sales, the resolution capabilities of the first consumer models was far below that of 35mm film, and well below what you needed to even make a good 4x6 print. Slowly but surely, the imaging sensors improved, and 1 megapixel cameras gave way to two megapixels. Three megapixel cameras upped the ante further. During these primitive times, you could be reasonably certain that the 3MP camera would produce results superior to the 2MP camera; sure, other factors played a part, but the megapixel count told you all you really needed to know.
But as time went on, megapixel counts climbed. Five! Eight! Ten! Twelve! Twenty!
Yet something had changed. Your cousin's new off-brand 20MP camera that he bought off of QVC was producing images far worser than a well developed, refined 12 megapixel Canon camera. What gives? 20 is more than 12 right?
Most camera buyers have finally caught on to the fact that once you get above a certain threshold, the megapixel count, while still important, is not the end-all-be-all of the results you will achieve, and that extra megapixels are useless if the rest of the camera can't make good use of them. And while resolution still continues to tick upwards, the established manufactuers since abandoned the "megapixel race" to focus more on reifnement and the overall package.
So yes, the new Viper makes 10hp less than a variant of the Mustang. Big f***ing deal. Stop being fixated on a single number and focus on what matters: the overall package and what it will do on a track. A package which mechanically speaking is improved in just about every way in the 2013. Dismissing all of these improvements and the car as a "total failure" just makes you sound like a rube.
