Top Gear BBC next Sunday 22nd Nov


I may be corrected here, But I think next Sundays (22nd Nov) Top Gear programme may feature a test track duel between The Corvette ZR1 and Audi R8, billed as the "The Blue collar Yank vs The TechnoKraut " Watch this space I am told. Set your VCR, DVDR, HDR, SKYTHINGGYMIJIGGY or whattever they call em now Willy
Lets hope its even more helpings of humble pie for Clarkson.. Yes Yes Thumbs up

If you are apt to get a "stiffy" looking at a hybrid. You are probably on the wrong website

Clarkson liked the ZR1 a lot when he drove it in the US.

Fantastic!

ZR1 beat the Audi R8 V10 by over a second with a time of 1:20.4 on a damp track and in the review Clarkson said buy the ZR1 not the Audi!

Bearing in mind they drive the cars with no regard for tyre wear etc - in the real world and on the real roads, driven normally the ZR1 should be king.

The vette looked meaner than a bag full of rattlesnakes.GM could tweak the build quality a little though:-)
