Default Top Gear reviews the new Corvette Z06 - Clarkson is VERY impressed ***Video Review***

Top Gear Review C6 Z06

Simply awesome.
Quote:
"The Corvette Z06 has a V8 engine. But more impressive than that, it has a gas tanker emptying, seven litre engine which can knock out 500bhp. The engine is so remarkable, that it can go from 0-175mph all in fifth gear."
The video actually saves into your temporary internet files folder. (For those who want it)

Clarkson was impressed for it as a track car... not as an every day car. It is obviously a very single minded vehicle.

Thanks for the link, can't get enough of that show. Very impressive car, although a seven litre v8 in a two seat go-cart should be.

That episode was pretty funny, the part where they had to be Radio DJ's was classic

The Jingles rocked!

Drag racing a line of fuel set on fire? WTF? The 5th gear thing remind me of the current Viper. Apparently you don't need an auto, 4th does the job.

Despite the ancient technology, and crappy build, gotta give it credit for being faster than a Ferrari F430 and 575M!
