I couldn't convince my wife to buy a cheaply made, American made car. Even though, it looks to be very good value for the money.

There are many objective reviews by a trio from England on this model's previous incarnations. Will the new one meet the standard?

I kinda take offense to you assuming that the corvette is cheaply made cause its made in the USA.

That's like me assuming you have sh!tty teeth cause you're British.

lol "objective"

Their reporting is mostly entertainment, if you're referring to Top Gear.

And they absolutely loved the C6 Z06. I watched the review before I started shopping them. Clarkson also advocated the C6 ZR1 in both their salt flat special and during their review against the Audi R8

Think we knew about synchro rev match before most people did. I got unusual attention being a 370z owner at vette driving school last month. also sounds like all braking and traction control systems are much improved over C6.

The car will be released in early August at Spring Mountain track in NV.will be an invitational event.

I think it's funny everyone is obsessing over styling. It essentially has same or better structure as outgoing Zo6. Pretty much makes Zo6 obsolete. This cars capabilities and handling will make it a real superstar. If a car ever needed rev match Vettes do! It's sort of a gimmick on the Z but with vette with odd pedal placement to keep brake pedal and accelerator separated its nice not to have to make that awkward heal toe.

But Clarkson also said he would never buy one. As a car to occasionally drive on actual roads. Track use... no problem. But real world where you actually have to take it onto a road.... nope!

And again, it's an entertainment show, and Clarkson has very obvious automotive biases, which makes that show as entertaining as it is.

I like what I see in the C7 already, but I won't really have a full opinion until I see it in person or drive it.

And while people blasted past corvettes for interior and build quality, they were still incredible performance for the dollar, and I'm fairly sure that's what they were aimed at.

I take all my buying advice from soft British multimillionaires as well.



His situation isn't remotely comparable to yours. I wouldn't rock a corvette if I was making that much either.
