Default Amazing Z06 Video and facts !!

Do you guys agree with this guy that the Z06 wasn't really made for the street? Amazing video if u haven't seen it yet, and get this, in England the Z06 cost $120,000. God I love the USA . Here it is:

When I read your description, I was hoping it was Clarkson. I don't give a **** what he says about our cars, culture etc, I always find the people on that show funny.

Pretty cool video. I still wouldn't be able to justify the 160,000# vs. 60,000# price difference just b/c the Ferrari is a better daily driver. I don't know what this guy has against american cars. His fast list at the end just shows how amazing the Z06 really is. Can't wait until they test a ZR1!

Well, there's nothing to worry about here...we apparently collapsed the second half of the season. I'll root for anyone in the Big 12 before I root for KU

I love top gear even though they often bash american cars.
FYI: There is going to be an american version of top gear coming out pretty soon.

I don't give a damn if this guy found few reasons not to like the Z06, it's a freaking beautiful bad *** toy and we all wish to have it.

Its a European show , of course they are going to bash an American. Especially one that challenges every 100k Plus European/Iranian/ whatever car you will find.....

And you don't buy a Z06 for its ride comfort.

Wait until they see the ZR1.... Look out ENZO

he definately does not know his ****. He did something so stupid on one show that made me realize he has no knowledge of cars whatsoever. They put a new cobra GT500 on a dyno to see what it made. The GT500 made like 44Xrwhp which is very good and would be over 500 flywheel after drivetrain loss. He then proceeded to bash the car because it didn't make 500hp on the dyno- what moron who is on a car show doesn't know that cars are rated at the ******* engine not the wheels!!!!!????!!!!! He crosses out the 500 on the side and wrote 44X. Dumbass!

I hear ya! At the end of the day, I'm a conference guy too; but I have a really hard time rooting for the Aggies It's a great school, but sure produces a lot of arrogant people Anyway, I always enjoyed OSU/KSU games as they're always tough rivals.

Sorry for hijacking
