When Clarkson gets out of the car, he complains about the quality of the parts. He then walks to the rear of the car to push in the rear bumper to show this car is made of "plastic".

Hammond loves it.

May is indifferent mostly because he understands it is effective lightweight material and the the vents are functional.

Then they talk about leaf springs and 18th century horse pulled carriages.

Stig does a lap in the car, under the worst conditions, either snow or rain. Fails to get a good lap time for fear of destroying supercars 2-10 times the price of the Vette.

HOW DID YOU GET AN ADVANCE COPY OF THE SCRIPT? I HAVEN'T EVEN FINISHED WRITING THIS YET AND YOU NAILED IT

They are far from forced, though. They are a critical part of the design.

m4a1mustang · 01-16-2013, 03:15 PM

I'll do it when I get home if someone doesn't beat me off to it.

Red__Zed · 01-16-2013, 03:17 PM

all the colors are insane. i can't choose. i want one of each.

sig11 · 01-16-2013, 03:19 PM

I'll take mine in Orange please.

speedfreek · 01-16-2013, 03:23 PM

I am really liking the white. Maybe the rear end will grow on my once I am able to see it in person....

daisuke149 · 01-16-2013, 03:24 PM

I disagree with the script. If you've followed top gear every season.

May will like it as despite tested at the ring, it has MR which like int he Caddy he loved, allows him to ride comfortably and then go fast too. Hes a practical person. The Corvette has always been decently practicle as far as sports cars go. He likes things like engine management and cyl deactivation and advanced tech.

Clarkson will love it because its still a brute. The torque will get to him and the fact that it isnt just an Auto Tranny like all other super fast cars are going to which he hates. He loved the old corvette despite the plastic and the quality issues. He just likes fast cars that are cheap and look good and this has that.

Richard was the one who actually didnt like the corvette. He was more of a pure muscle car guy , mustang, camaro, challenger etc. He will be the one to mention, "yes but would you rather buy this.. or something else" and he will continue to not like this corvette. he, more so than the others likes the raw mechanical drivers car and this vette, moreso than those in the past has more electronics to interfere with that.

(I may spend too much time watching top gear.. quite honestly my VLC playlist is every top gear episode and it runs on random pretty much for at leats 5 hours a day)
