From Road and Track...One of the best listing of people that love cars.

Enjoy!

Very interesting read. They are right. Just about the time in my life, that I can afford a Z06, they come out with one better. 2000 ZR1s a year- not enough time left for me to buy one.

Very interesting thanks for posting!


I think it should be noted that Jay Leno referred to the Corvette as a Supercar!

A good article from Road & Track who, in the past, have not always been kind to the Corvette. They are much more euro-centric than I have liked. Even though I have subscribed for about 35 years. Ya gotta love Jay Leno. He's a real car guy. FYI his website Jay Lenos Garage.com is a great site to visit. Don't care what others say, the ZR1 is a great looking car.

Nice article. I mean a guy like Leno who can and says he can drive anything tells it like it is I don't think it's BS he worked hard to get where he is and what he has. It just proves the facts CORVETTE! the ultimate driving machine.

I'm a Jay Leno fan, too -- a true "car guy." His credibility is high on things automotive, and his garage is full of interesting vehicles. But, go back to the article and notice he gets his Vette's for "free" from GM. It's amazing how often those who can afford perks don't have to pay for them.
