Farrari, Corvette, Porsche, its all about which one is better in what aspect.
For those of us who live in the real world and have to live within a budget, the Corvette delivers big fun at an affordable price.
Hit the powerball lottery? I'm going right past Corvette, 911, Aston Martin to 458 Italia.

Top Gear does talks very little about "bang for the buck" when it comes to sports cars.

If you don't like BBC Top Gear because Clarkson, Hammond or May have a different opinion about a particular car than you do, then just don't watch it. However, the show has been on in many countrys for many years and has won critical aclaim. It is, most likely, the best automotive show in history. The show is so good that Jay Leno, when asked to host the US version of Top Gear, (which is, like The Car Show, unwatchable), he turned down the offer because he said that nothing could compare to the BBC version, for Clarkson, Hammond & May are brilliant at what they do. So, if you are a true car person, put away any hurt feelings and watch and enjoy the show for what it has to offer. Or not.

but he did nail the cheapness right on the head
I for one didn't agree with any of the other crap they had to say, but I'm biased and own a Vette. I love when they trash all of the other cars, expect my Vette!

Anyhow, Jeremy Clarkson is meant to entertain the British audience, who hate American cars. It really is that simple. He says he hates them so everyone at home gets a laugh.
When the ZR1 came out, it was his car of the year. On top of that, he bought one. He must like it an awful lot.
Yes, the Corvette is cheaply made. It just is. But you get what you pay for.

Sad the American versions of Top Gear are so lame.

I have to agree with the comments on the interior. My current company vehicle is an 09 HHR. Oddly enough, there are many of the same parts(steering wheel, buttons, etc.) in my 07 Coupe. I was a bit surprised myself that a $20k car has the same interior parts as a $50k car. I guess that's GM saving a buck.
Corvette is still the best bang(HP) for the buck on the planet. Those "english twits" can go pound sand.

That along with a large paved "driveway" going through and around a 100 acre plot of land in a place that stays warm all year long.
