incorrect. he said its the top of the line track corvette at 100k. that was a 3lt 60th anniversary z06 meaning it was brand new. he said its not the fastest or the most expensive right after saying its the top of the line track corvette. also i think that one was given to them to use in the show and its not the real police z06

LISTEN DAMNIT! "It's the track version of GM's top of the line sports car", meaning it's the track version of the Corvette(GM's top of the line sports car), which I would agree with. The ZR1 is more of a *****-out high HP car than it is a track focused car, while the Z06 was made to take corners to. Yes, the ZR1 will go around a track damn good too, but the Z06 is at worst even with it with 133 less HP. It's like the Boss Mustang vs the GT500.

Someone on another forum pointed out that this is more than likely just for the Top Gear use, not an actual police car. I wonder if they just wrapped a 60th edition Z06 and through some lights on it, doubt they actually painted a brand new Z06.

It's not what most would call a liter bike though, they are pretty much always referring to the super sport 1000cc bikes. The speed triple is more like a 600cc super bike for speed/acceleration, while a super sport 1000 would flat out embarrass the Triumph.

Yeah, when he gets in right before they race, you can see the car was yellow to begin with.
