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

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.
