I think that 1776 thing is still a "chip on their shoulder"

One persons opinion..not a nation's.

Oh...you forget that Jaguar, Aston martin, Bentley, TVR and Lotus all come from the UK.

We should also not forget that the Cobra is an American engine packaged in a lightweight British sports car. And if it wasn't for the competition the Cobra gave the Corvettes, they might not have ended up with such large engine options in the late 60's

I lived in Britain for 3 years and watched Jeremy on Top Gear regularly. He is a big show off and makes many outrageous comments. The clip shows he sure doesn't know much about the ZO6. His show airs once in a while on the Detroit Speed Channel

People like you are the reason the rest of the world has such a low opinion of Americans. Its a tv program and you say something retarded about a whole nation based on one guys comments on a car lol.

Anything that Jeremy Clarkson says is to be taken as said with tongue in cheek. The show is very good in general , but is a light hearted look at all cars both in the UK and Europe and the rest of the world. Believe me he is no kinder to UK , European or for that matter the Asian cars either.
I thought that his review of the car in general was that it was very good and very fast. You have to remember that his comments about its suitability to live with on the roads would be on British roads and in British traffic - this is a world away from roads in the states.

Also a thread that is titled Brits Suck is unnecessary - Jeremy Clarkson sucks would have been a much better choice

VettePower

Lets not forget that besides the US, who has the next largest contingent of soldiers in Iraq. Actually, I amquite embarrased about these anti-British statements, even if they were in gest.

Narrow-minded statement--- That bloat is playing to European audiences. The Z06 has been solidly proven to compete at all levels with cars five times it's cost!

or the Queen sucks...even better.

You are unbeleivable. What is your problem with England?

Man, what a difference of opinion on this one. In no way was I trying to spark an international incident. I think everyone should just clam down a bit and fun with it. Threads, too often than not, can be misinterpreted as negative in these terms. Granted, the title was a little over the top in trying to categorize all Brits with the same opinion as this guy. Bottom line anyone who dismisses the Corvette as merely a “boy band”, or “talent less”, should be ran over by one regardless of where they are from!

britvette

Didn't he make that point in the clip ? I thought he compared it with a car 100K pounds (about $197k) more than the vette and said that he could see no reason why you would pay the extra 100 grand . ie the vette was easily as good if not better than the more expensive car
