It truly is a remarkable car in every way... As a long time Corvette owner and sometimes apologist... there's no apologizing for this thing...... well perhaps to your local LEO...

I hate that guy. He is a non-driving 'expletive deleted'. He says he can't figure out why the Ferrari was 100,000 pounds more than the vette, then he gets into the studio and comes up with a laundry list of all the things he hates about the car. The biggest thing he hates about it is it's 'American'. I won't go on about British cars...
I'd like to see him keep up with my C5, on the road or track.

Anyway, thanks for the video. We Americans certainly know a good thing when we see one.

I do think you're taking this guy much too seriously. Some of his criticism is probably arguable and a matter of opinion. What isn't arguable is his obvious enthusiasm and respect for the performance of the ZO-6.

The link didn't work for me, but I know of the Ariel Atom.

It's all good Gusto. I'm not taking him so seriously. I've seen the show many times and every time they review an American car they bash it, so I take what they have to say with skepticism.
I also absolutely love the car and will be riding in one someday.

The fact that he gave it any compliments at all attests to just how great it really is. He'll tear into any car for something as small as a cupholder, but didn't have much bad to say about it (at least on the track).

I had the chance to drive one of these on a race track, and also agree that I have to have one some day. It's at a whole different level than any other vette I've ever driven.
