Interesting!
I can't take the credit for this info as it was written by another member of a UK corvette forum, but you may find it interesting.
Got this from Cadillac Europe
As one of the first European TV media, Top Gear has driven the Corvette C6.
Yesterday the C6 was in the studio for recording the show and "The Stig" drove a fast lap.
The Corvette set a good lap time, even beating the Lotus Exige, which had been specially set-up for the track.
1. Mercedes McLaren SLR - 1.20.9
2. Ford GT - 1.21.9
3. Ferrari 360 CS - 1.22.3
3. Porsche GT3 RS - 1.22.3
5. Murcielago - 1.23.7
6. Zonda - 1.23.8
7. Koenigsegg - 1.23.9
8. Noble - 1.25.0
9. Gallardo - 1.25.8
10. Corvette C6 - 1.26
11. Lotus Exige - 1.26.4
12. Porsche 911 GT3 - 1.27.2
Richard Hammond the presenter was generally very positive about the car. He liked the performance and styling enormously. The engine and handling got a lot of praise and the head-up-display is now one his favourite features. Of course they also had some criticism, like the interior build quality.
