I downloaded the Top Gear Episode, and it's the 2nd of the new season, not the first if I'm not mistaken. Oddly enough, I'm north of London for the next week at a conference and can probably catch the next episode live on BBC. I might try to do that.

They loved the new Corvette for the track... comparing it to a Ferrari and saying it's just as good a car for 100,000 british pounds LESS.

Then they said they absolutely HATED the car as a daily driver... radio sucks, satnav sucks, interior sucks... actually said he's rather have bird flu that the new Z06 as a daily driver for all this plus the lousy ride quality, messing up his back going over the smallest of bumps.

I think it would be a blast to have one as a track day toy or a weekend vehicle. I still think a Boxster is a far more well-balanced daily driver though.
