July issue of Top Gear LOVES the new Vette. If TG loves the new Vette, it has to be good!

Sure, the Corvette may have upped its game somewhat in the latest ‘C7' generation, and earned rapturous reviews in America for its ability to negotiate a corner without immediately bursting into flames, but that's America, where frankly if you fit your car with enough XXL cupholders and a Wendy's loyalty card as standard, it'll prove as popular as unlicensed gun ownership.


What a imperious, pretentious, arrogant, pontifical, pompous ***. Naturally I mean that with the utmost respect.

I passed an F-Type on Camelback. I was surprised how big a car they are. They hide their bulk well.

I agree, if the Stingray is kicking such butt, what are they going to say when they drive the Z06? My goodness. The Jag had 100 more horses, yet they loved the Stingray. Impressive. The Stingray even had lower lap times.

I have no problem with it. I mean, that's what we get by having a bunch of horrendously obese people in our country. We get made fun of. It's humiliating, as it should be.

I test drove an F-Type before buying my C7. Great drive and excellent car (the F-Type). After clicking on the link above, it's very, very sad to see the British responses and how they will barely acknowledge the accomplishments of the C7. The Ferrari Chat.com crowd is the same way.......sad.

Comments you mean? I didn't even look at those. Steven it's the same if you go to youtube. A bunch of teenagers with a lot of free time on their hands. It's the same with the whole camaro vs mustang argument. You'll rarely find reasonable objective folk on line. The things people are willing to say and do anonymously...

Let them have their bias comments! There's not much you can do about opinions! However, the Z06 is going to kick virtually everybody's *** up and down the track and there simply wont be too much to say except...WOW! I cant wait man! God Bless America!
