Did TOP GEAR ever test the C5 Z06?
I know they have lap times for the C6 and the C6 Z06, but did they ever get a lap time for the C5 Z06? I wanted to see how it faired against the new C6s...
C6 Z06 - 1:22.4
C5 Z05 - ???
C6 coupe (Z51) - 1:26.8

Yea I'm about 99% sure they never tested the C5Z. We should use this thread though to post up any video reviews of our cars !! I found this one and I liked it because just like the latest article I read that pitted the C6 Z06 vs Viper vs GT500 this was like the same thing only a generation before

In short...they didn't. I've seen every episode of Top Gear for the last 4 or so years. I can only recall 1 C5 ever being in the studio, and that was for the C6Z test.
EDIT: Whoops. I lied. See below. I'm watching the episode again right now.

He had 4 Vettes in the studio when they were going to show the Z06 video. But I lied. It wasn't a C5. It was a C2, C3, C4, and C6 parked in a cross. They filmed around them as Clarkson was doing his "Boy-band Corvettes" monologue.
