seen it already, they really trash the Vette. they really rank on the suspension setup. Jermey hates the thing. I was impressed that the NSX took 2nd in the drag race though.

IMHO the TVR 350 is wayyy above the C6s. It was obviously skewed. No way a vette is going to keep up with that puppy.

just like all corvettes, the C6 needs tons and tons of tires. i'm sure the runflats probably didn't help either.

Wow, the old guy tears it apart. I want to yell at them and tell them you can't have both quality and performance on budget, it's either one or the other. They fail to realize that, though.
That illuminated speedo thing its really cool.

ya i gotta say they were too rough on the vette. usually i agree with them on their criticisms...especially on american cars. the corvette deserves a little more respect than they gave it though, imho.

the complaints they had were valid. except the leaf spring suspension part, yeah it's old but it's dialed in very very well.

valid, but the cars they were comparing them too were almost double the price for which a C6 would cost. I think they should have taken the price a little bit more into consideration before railing on it so bad.
