interesting
Jeremy Clarkson tests the new Audi R8 V10 and the Chevrolet Corvette ZR1 on Top Gear.
This video amused me for a couple of reasons. Firstly it's a slap in the face to ZR1 fanboys who operate a total, 100% zero tolerance policy when it comes to any criticism so they won't like this one bit. Secondly, it throws a real spanner in the works (I think) to the whole ZR1 vs GT-R debate as the GT-R's lap time was actually quicker. However I enjoyed the clip and would like to share it with others. It should have been shown in the last series but never did for some reason. If there's one thing I never tire of with the ZR1, it's the noise. It's an epic soundtrack.
ATTENTION: There appears to be a rumour going around that Clarkson owns a C6 ZR1. This is not true. Repeat, NOT true.

Got to love the Prowess ( def: a superior skill that you can learn by study and practice and observation) they give the ZR-1 with it being so dangerous!
God these Limey's are such...Girlymen!

I love how hes talking about how good it handles while its sliding sideways. How the hell can you tell if it handles well while its sliding?
Edit: meant sliding as in massive throttle oversteer.
