I just ment the Z06 didn't get fair play time, your right the Z06 ran strong, the dumping was the drivers view point.

I knew the segment was headed straight downhill when the cars appeared wearing a machine gun and rockets.
It did make me think back to what it took for the Chrysler corporation to become competitive back in the day, aerodynamics that included a giant wing out back (Dodge Charger Daytona/Plymouth Superbird).
The Viper is a race car for the street, the ACR is a race car for the race track. So much of its grip was due to the wing and it made me wonder how the Z06 would have done with a “whale tail” and some wiskers?

The ACR is everything he bitches modern performance cars aren't (The Z06 for that matter as well). If it had a Porsche badge on it he would have done 4 videos on it already.

Sabine is as bad a German car snob as it gets. Just goes to show you how TG UK only hire the most closed minded hosts they can find.
