Z06 SPORTS CAR of the YEAR in Europe
i just watched fifth gear and they announced the different car of year awards,
www.finalgear.com for a download if you have bittorrent.
The three finalist was Ferarri 599 and Porsche 911 Turbo
And the WINNER is our lovly Z06,,,,
What can i say,,,,,,,,
CONGRATULATIONS GM, now make us even more proud with a 150 pounds lighter and 100 more Hp, and even better suspension, STICKIER tires and lighter wheels..... AND BETTER brakes so i dont have to spend usd 6000 to go to track ......
anyway, Europe is now very aware of the General.
Half price, better Performance, Porsche go hide, there is a new KING of the road
regards
Rune

o good thing cant be repeated often enough 
i been in Brasil with no internet access, and just watched the film last night and thought it was a new year episode...
Anyway Gongaman, happy new year, i have not forgot the moving to Sweden, but i plan to sell my car and buy a new one, keep american plates and have in insured for a 4 month trip around Europe and then bring it back to Norway, then next year i will have to do something.
When our Communist gouverment hopefully realize that a duty almost three times the cost of the car is plain idiotic.
hopefully american trade council also will do something..
BTW, even the new SAAB with the E85 engine that reduce Co2 by 50% is MORE expensive due to duty on HP...... go figure

Yeah im an avid Top gear and Fifth gear viewer. And I was not suprised taht Tiff chose the Z06. He was flabbergasted during the whole video.
I think a lot has to do with the suprise factor, as in the car ended up being so much more than he expected because as we all know europe has low standards for us cars.

It seemed like Jason Plato was a bit disgusted after hearing Tiff's choice. Judging by the look he gave, you might think Tiff just chose Margaret Thatcher as babe of the year.
