Neat video.
In my opinion, different segment cars with different appeals; each strong in their respective mission.

Subjective.

Boy racer gets last place. They state a "whiff" of mid life crisis in it.......With those looks, it is a full blown crisis.

With that said, Demon didn't even deserve to be in that comparo.

I have a ZL1 1LE and would drop it like an unprotected plutonium turd for a ZR1 (but not for a Demon lol)... I love my car, it's freaking amazing (but it ain't no ZR1).

Very entertaining, but Top Gear was never a Corvette fan, nor will it ever be:

Top Gear referring to the C6 Z06 - "As something to live with every day, I would rather live with "Bird Flu..."
Top Gear referring to the C6 ZR1 - "You would have to be bonkers to buy the Corvette"
Top Gear referring to the C6 ZR1 - "Its like turning up at the Queen's Garden Party in chrome cowboy boots and chaps..."
Top Gear referring to the C7 - "A Wild West Saloon..."
Top Gear referring to the C7 ZR1 - "3rd place due to a whiff of mid-life Crisis"

I get the appeal of the ZL1. For the money, it is hard to beat what you get.

ZL1 1LE is a monster of a car...just hard to deny that GM laid it down with that car....all made possible by Corvettes success of course.

LOL, what should we expect from "men" who drink tea?
It hasn't been easy for the Brits to give up their stuffiness. They've finally decided that it's acceptable for them to wear jeans though, (except for "high tea" at the London Ritz. Yes, my wife and I were actually turned away once).

Funny thing is at the time (08) Clarkson named the 09 ZR1 the car of the year. I think he owned one at one point as well.
