Top Gear hated the handling and the interior on the C6 ZO6 too, so what does that tell you.

Did you watch the same Top gear as me? as I remember it they thought the car was great and loved the handling, although not as a daily driver on our roads here. I pay £200 per year road tax that is supposed to go on the upkeep of our roads but I think it just goes to the politicians coffers 'cos the roads round here are like the battle of the Somme!

Those cars dyno around 455rwhp bone stock and after the initial price gouging subsides, they will be quite a bit cheaper than anything else that compares.
BTW, I have seen plenty of LS1 cars with stock motors running a blower putting down about 450rwhp.

Not true. But hey what does the American market have to offer besides the vette, namely the Z06. Somethimes you get spoiled when trying to compare Enzos,Ferraris,Lambos,Nobles,Porshe,BMW,Mercedes,e tc..... The American market is just now getting the interior right. Also keep in mind that the Domestic market isnt about handling, moreso than cramping the biggest size motor you can fit in a car.

i actually expected worse for that car test. Lets face it our interiors lack the materials used in foreign cars just the way their engines lack the horsepower n torque of our cars. plain n simple they like interior more than just our raw power. it s an even trade depending on what u like more.
