Default ZR1 Sucks, atleast this guy thinks so.

This guy is a moron, Normally I don't care about some peoples biased opinions but this guy is a dumbass.

He is comparing a Corvette to a Honda....

Look at these videos he has on youtube.

If you want to be an attention hog, you will simply have to spend at least twice the price of a ZR1 to get there. That clown obviously has nothing better to do with his life than make sarcastic videos.

That guy is so stupid. Two things I caught that made him a real winner, he says corvettes have the same badges as minivans and cost the same. Well I dont see any chevy logos on my corvette, and I have never seen a minivan that cost over 100K.

At the end of the second video he says that porsches are better because they have optional carbon brakes. Is he that stupid that he doesnt know that the ZR1 has carbon ceramic brakes, the same as the Enzo??

Its people Like this guy that just goes to show how ignorant so many are.

I normally spend most of my time in the c5 section, and browse the c6 section every once and a while. After looking at the video, I was kinda offended. Then again, I never thought of any corvette as an exotic. Its not fancy, but it's nice, comfy, reliable, easy as a DD, and just a beast at WOT.

5 Years ago, I wanted an EVO, STI, or Saleen and never thought about Corvette until Dad came home with one. Drive that around a bit, along with other performance cars, and I really liked how I fit in the Corvette. Now present day, and fresh outta college and working, I bought my C5Z06 over the summer. Hell, it ain't no Ferrari, Lambo, or any "exotic." But everytime I turn that key, the demon in me screams for more power, and that feels great.

Everyone just simply has to remember why they chose the Vette instead of that other car you once thought about getting.

I love it!!! That douchebag put a C5 converted to look like a Ferrari as one of his exotics at the start of the video - Look again at the first vid - it is a black C5 with a yellow stripe down the middle of the car. I guess the only thing that really makes a Ferrari exotic is that little horsey! lol

Note: I love anything that goes fast, and the above statement is not intended to disrespect Ferraris in any way.

This guy is a complete tool. I like how he "dropped some knowledge" by defining a supercar as mid-engine and costs a lot and then later in the video he shows us a Ferrari 599 (and defines it as a real supercar) which is front engined. Not to mention the other rear and front engined vehicles throughout his video. This guy is obviously not an enthusiast either, he is more about what people think about the car rather than the driving experience. He will probably never understand.

Aside from sounding like a whiny, jealous teenager with a rich father who owns a ferrari or something, the guy can barely form a correct English sentence...

I also find it funny that he says something about making the video to "prove" that a vette is not a supercar, then goes on to give his biased opinion for 2 and a half minutes....

Where's the proof exactly?

The thing about a vette having roughly the same price as an accord or camry was another gem.

I think I saw some Lotus in there and they are no supercar either by the definition that he gave.
