Top Gear is the most awesome television show ever made. They even have tested the Maybach on that circuit! There is a website with a shitload of movies of the show. Going to see if I can find them.
LoL in that video they make comparison of the C6 "LeafSprings" to that of horse/chariot springs...the technology in that vette is not old, its completely new...youd be hard pressed to call them old technology...Hell im willing to bet that the damn driver in that car wasnt very skilled...Lets get an actual american driver over there...Somebody from C&D or One of Linginfelter's thugs....Then lets see the vette com in third and have messy lap...wont happen...

Compared to Britain, you don't. American "sports" cars are notorious the world over for being very fast in a straight line, but handling like shit if they encounter the slightest hint of a corner.
And the reason they seem to be constantly criticising everything is because, unlike US motoring journalists, they don't care if they might annoy the car companies. I subscribe to "Top Gear", "Car" and "Evo" from the UK, and "Car & Driver" and "Road & Track" from the US - in the past three years I have NEVER seen a bad review of a car in a US car magazine or on US television, and there have been plenty of bad cars...
"but europe already has a porsche 911. it's called... a porsche 911."
he's the best part of top gear
and righthandman, i think anyone from lingenfelter would agree with the host...
americans suck at building cars. look at the luxury and performance you get from the same money elsewhere. even between a vette and an m3 (off the top of my head there's surely a better example) the vette has only a half a second better 0-60... but nearly twice the sized engine. plus the inside of a vette may as well be a cavalier with leather whereas the bmw is just gorgeous.
you've got to love classic muscle though. in that time, we had everyone beaten.

Yeah, I gotta admit I was laughing my ass of when he was doing his Darth Vader impression during his test drive of the Koenigsegg.

I rebooted, deleted temp files, history, cookies and everything...still cannot view the news clip. All I see is that fucking gay ass music video from "Rick Roll". Anyone else have a different link to the news clip?

Originally posted by riosluts in the review they are right about the "whole plastic" interior though. US car companies like GM should really make the interior of higher quality.
I agree. But they don't talk about the comparative price of a 'Vette to the other cars they're comparing. They are cheaper by a long shot. Especially in the States...which makes them a better value, even though some lower quality materials are used.
