Clarkson loves the C7, have you seen his review of the stingray vert?

Their personal car of the year picks: May chose the LaFerrari, Hammond chose the 918, and Clarkson surprisingly chose the C7. He called it a masterpiece.

What track was that on?

It looks like coming up the hill right after the first right from the main straight at road atlanta, yet the billboard says go florida.

It was as of last season.The first season was not bearable.It has gotten better.

But there still is only one that's really worthwhile and that's the bbc version.Hopefully jeremy and the station can get along.

I have heard a rumor that he is doing his own videos and may be done with the bbc.

I hope not.It would ruin the show.

I'm shocked at the lack of video reviews out there in the z06. Other than Motortrend there's nothing from the larger players. Which is puzzling especially since these cars have been in the hands of owners for a while.

Anyone have any ideas on why?

Where's Car and Driver, Smoking Tire, Chris Harris/Evo, /Drive, TFL, Autocar, Top Gear, Motoman, CNET, Roadfly, Motorweek, etc...??? All are silent.
