Yea, that video was a disappointment. The Edmond's review you posted in your other thread was good!

I don't know why C&D even bothers with videos, their YT channel is a joke...

I didn't want to keep filling up the C7ZR1 forum with new threads about first drives but there was a lot of good, new articles posted today. We already have C&D, R&T, and Edmunds. Here are Autoblog's and Automobliemag's:

Andy pilgrim's article in Automobile Mag is the best I've read so far. When a pro driver says a street car is at race car-level braking and handling, on street tires (albeit barely legal ones), you know Chevy has created a special car

It speaks volumes of the efforts Chevy went to get the ZR1 right. Sure the Z06 had its flaws, its learning from them that counts rather than repeating them. Coming from Andy Pilgrim compared to hit video when he ran the Z06, I am thrilled! Go Chevy! The little cheap *** plastic fantastic sure knows how to knock em down!
