Hilarious. I was just thinking same thing. Wait, someone who actually drove one really likes it? That can't be possible. They must have been paid to say it.

"Serious cross-shoppers at this price and performance threshold will no doubt see the Dodge SRT Viper TA and Nissan GT-R as prime competitors. I'll agree that they make a good deal of sense on paper, and none fall short of "riveting" on the enthusiast driver scale, but let me be unequivocal in saying that this Z06 is better to drive than either. More complimentary of its driver, more capacious in its ability to astound and more practical for the daily duty of driving around town and making strangers gawp."

Yeah...that!

Good review. After you've driven one, you can't help but grin when some of the descriptions are given. (ie. Holy God).
Exactly the way I react.

Seyth at autoblog wrote an excellent article that was insightful.

Of course the guys who have a c7 z06 competitor are jealous and troll like when the car achieves such accolades...

I understand where they are coming from yet it's almost impossible
E to argue with so many positive reviews.

Autoblog tends to be even handed and fair in their reviews .. I suspect all the other publications/blogs/reviewers will have a similar perspective, for anyone who has driven this vehicle cannot deny its qualities.
