I'm sure the Corvette was left with both the traction control and active handling turned on. Had the car been put in competitive mode, or all systems turned off, I'm sure it would have been right up there with those other cars. Best Motoring videos are great, I've been watching them for almost 10 years now.

I just watched the video; and believe that the winners were already picked - long before the competition was ever started.
Just look at the bias - by the drivers comments that were included in the video.

it would be nice to know what kind of tires and what hp ratings the jdms had and then it would be easier to see why they vette lost. Judging by the opening scene, i think they had traction control off on the vette. I agree seeing a Z06 would have been nice. Especially since the video says 2004 on there, letting us know that the Z has been out for a long time.
oh yea the Z51 driver hoorible. It looked like he was on a sunday drive. Was he even able to reach the pedals...
