Audi R8 V10 vs Corvette ZR1 - Top Gear - BBC 2009
|
Should we even watch it?

The same "old" problem
TIRES!
When will GM ever learn. They should offer the vette w/the Run flats and, as an option, work with a tire mfg to design a real tire for the Vette. |

Both cars are amazing. :thumbs:

We'll see what the Audi does at the Ring, but for now, the ZR1 is the better track car, even beating the SLR. Which one would be more reliable? I would guess that it'd be a wash, since Audi doesn't have an enviable record in this regard. Extended warranties may be a good idea for either.

Top Gear rules...and don't forget, Clarkson loved the ZR-1 during his America trip...

Front Page News!
We thought we'd revisit this one for a little Throwback Thursday action! It gets better with age.

LOL what!!! Top Gear is an amazing show. Don't get all butt hurt about Clarksons comments the show is more comedy and entertainment than factual. Also Richard is a secret American :D Clarkson did love the ZR1 on his road trip and even called the C7 a masterpiece.

He claimed the first time he drove it that it wouldn't start after 4 days. Seems very ironic the guy who has never liked the Corvette experiences problems that the majority of users never see.
If you really want a kick, look up the video of him reviewing the Z06 back from 06 or 07. Infuriates me every time at the end when he pulls out the list of everything wrong with it and absolutely rails on it. Yet he'll go and buy an American Ford GT that gets 12mpg, and by the end of his ownership about drove him crazy because of all the problems. I've had my Z06 for almost a year and haven't experienced a single one of those problems he mentioned. Whenever he starts talking about Corvettes, his complaints are so unjustified its almost as if he's being paid to hate them. (He loves a Mustang) |

That was the one with the yellow Z06 where he lit a line of fuel on fire and raced it?? The review was pretty positive till they were back in the studio and then I think he tried to be a hardass and list a bunch of nonsense. Doesn't work on the street?? lol Sure Jeremy. He loveeeeeeees Aston Martins and to me they all look the same and boring. Cars are all subjective. :D |
