Loved the review. But I do have one gripe...Saying the ZR1 "hangs with" the Audi R8 V10 and SLS AMG? I believe words like "Slaughters" or "Rapes" or "Totally and utterly annihilates" would be better terms. Hell, a Z06 "hangs with" the SLS and R8 V10. A ZR1 will eat them alive, anytime, anywhere. But any points the review loses for that, it makes up when it brings up the GT-R, makes a fair and valid point about it technically being a better value, then talks about the ZR1's intangibles.

to get something that will actually keep up with the ZR1 on the track you would need the GTR black which will run you around 120,000$ for a computer on wheels that is none livable as a everyday driver and only has 8.8 feet for trunk space VS 22 cubic feet on the vette. or get a ZR1 which runs just under a 100K around 90K or a 2013 for 112,000.

This actually is not a 2012 ZR1 as the title states. Jetstream Blue was only available from 2009-2011 model years ZR1. In the 2012 model year ZR1 it was replaced with Supersonic Blue. You can also tell that it wasn't a 2012 by the steering wheel. The steering wheel shown was used from 2009 to 2011. In 2012-2013 they added chrome trim pieces to dress it up a bit.

I have read your comments. All of them. Why do you think I said dumb comments were par for the course? So, the Nurburging Nordschleife is just a 13mile straight line, right? Someone better tell that to Porsche, BMW and Nissan, since they also test their performance cars there. Also, the circle was most likely a skidpad/road-holding test. It's designed to find the limits of the car's ability to remain planted during cornering, and to find out how controllable it is when it does break loose.

I don't like the Corvette in general, as it's not my cup of tea. But it's really hard to argue with that level of performance, because it is flat out impressive. In my brain the whole time I was thinking "it's faster than a 458 Italia or the MP4-12C?!?!?!?!" Pretty awesome. And that colour is amazing. I agree with the cheap interior (Cobalt steering wheel anyone??) kind of ruining the other good elements of this car. But a fantastic video review by KBB!!!

I hate this car because it epitomizes the old fashioned (pre-bailout) style of American performance car: Huge engine, difficult to drive on the limit, "only-in-America" styling and 1990's Hyundai interior. It is such a fantastic supercar, but GM needs to release the C7 already and give it a more modern engine, suspension and interior (they want it to sell in Europe, remember?). As for you KBB: utterly fantastic review. Keep it up, and get Micah on either Top Gear America or The Car Show.

@mak450 I meant that they're honest about what's wrong with cars. I know that their are some aspects that are just for entertainment, but overall they tell how they really feel. On the website they are very informative and factual, and not for entertainment on the reviews. I used to watch fifth gear, but they don't show it in the US anymore. Also, what's wrong with Clarkson changing his opinion about cars? I've thought cars were fun to drive for a short time, then found them boring later.

@binyamj My problem is they aren't honest about how they feel about the cars. They say things explicitly for shock value, case n' point the GTR. Clarkson claimed on the show it felt like it wanted to kill him then said it was boring. Cars are his job, he gets ample time to thoroughly test them in all kinds of environments, not just short time. So he can form a thorough analysis and be honest about them, except since they love to lie for shock value who knows which opinion is honest or not?

Considering that drifting is just about the slowest way to take a corner, no, Corvettes are not made for drifting(though power oversteer on-tap makes them pretty good at it). But they are NOT made purely for straight-line performance, either. To say that they are is out and out ridiculous. That's like saying a Porsche 911 Turbo is a drag racer. Just because it's scarily fast in a straight line doesn't mean that's all it can do. That is the point I'm trying to make.

Porsche 911 Turbo is actually better on the drag strip then the corvette OR about the same but on the track the corvette is 100 times better placing 11th on the nubrogining. the Porsche 911 Turbo S placed 28th best time vs 11th.

@binyamj ROFL. Top Gear UK is many things, but honest? Not so much. Remember the episode where Hammond dyno'd a GT500 and claimed the horsepower at the wheels was the actual engine output at the crank? Or when Clarkson claimed the GTR was super exciting, and then weeks later on a DVD said it was really boring? There're quite a few more examples but you get the point. They lie to be entertaining on a fairly regular basis. If facts are what's important to you you want 5th gear.

Seriously, this isn't the 70's anymore. Even American sedans can handle pretty well, and our muscle cars are just as at-home on a road course as they are on a drag strip(with the exception of the Challenger). And speaking of muscle cars, I've got to say I love it when foreigners think they understand the term better than the people who invented it. It's especially funny on Top Gear, where even a Chrysler 300 is considered a "muscle car".

Nope, sportscar. Classed as a sportscar, sold as a sportscar, looks like a sporscar, performs like a supercar. To call it a muscle car is just dumb. But, considering your other comments, that's par for the course for you. Tell me, can a muscle car run a 7:19 at the Nurburgring? Can it run faster than a 458 Italia around Laguna Seca, and several other tracks? Nah, I don't think so. Even Top Gear, the most bias and subjective car show/magazine on the planet, acknowledges the ZR1's capabilities.
