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
Lets hope its even more helpings of humble pie for Clarkson..

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.
