Clarkson is a crackup... Vietnamese suspension

But it works Not too far behind the 250K Gallardo. But that Evo is even more of a "bang for the buck" car.

No idea how the NSX did it, but the TVR has 350hp and weighs 2200 (give or take 100 or so) lbs.

Re: Corvette C6 video review

It was so obvious that they were just sticking up for their European sports cars. It's like they looked for things that you could do with the C6 to make it look bad. Instead of focusing on how it can spank most of their cars in a straight line, and on the track, and cost much less $$$.

Re: Corvette C6 video review

Why they still refer to the USA as "the colonies"? We're not a colony, just the last superpower on earth, they seem to forget that. in alot of the reviews from europe they always put us down in someway. Anyway, that was a crappy review of of the C6. he's a bum.

Because my girlfriend could have shifted better than that dweeb. It looked like it took him all his power to shift that thing into gear. And it took him forever to shift. Plus as much as he was putting that car down verbally im sure he wasnt giving it all it had.

Re: Corvette C6 video review

I've got British heritage in me, but I have to say, I hate the British sometimes.

That was the most biassed review evar! Sorry the tranny isn't quite as silky smooth as a Porsche, since it's only designed to handle the torque of not only LT1's, LS1's and LS6's over the years, but now the LS2, and the VIPER as well for all these years!? Let's see how a Porsche tranny would stand up? Until I see one of them take the same abuse as a ~400+ ft.lb. V8, or the ~500 ft.lb. V10, I say they're comparing apples and oranges.

Oh, and put me in the driver's seat of a Chevette against that guy in the C6, and I'd probably smoke him! Where's Steve Baur (of GM High-Tech Performance magazine, who was able to run a bone-stock '04 Z06 to an amazing 11.97 @ 118.80) when you need him? Put a real driver in the C6 and I'm sure it would have out-run all those other cars.
