is that so.. YouTube - Corvette ZR1 vs Lambo SV by autocar.co.ukOriginally posted by Timma View PostI'd have to disagree about a Corvette. It's definitely a muscle car. Thing can't handle a track like an Audi or a Lambo.
notice the lambo cannot pull away. the zr1 is no muscle car.Last edited by Bouncer; 03-30-10, 12:16 PM.

Don't you remember the Top Gear episode where they put the Vette up against the Audi R8 V10? Vette was fishtailing all over the place.Originally posted by THE BOUNCER View Postis that so.. YouTube - Corvette ZR1 vs Lambo SV by autocar.co.uk

bro you gotta remember that top gear is an entertainment show. they also gave the Zr1 car of the year in a different top gear episode.Originally posted by Timma View PostDon't you remember the Top Gear episode where they put the Vette up against the Audi R8 V10?

in one episode Jeremy says the Merc Black is the best car ever, like 5 episodes later he calls it a pile of rubbish. :rofl:

the track in that video has some great corners. no, not any car can go arond those corners at those speeds. take a honda accord around any of those corners at that speed and off the track she goes.Originally posted by Timma View PostYou also have to take into account that the video you just showed me has them going around a track without tight corners. Any car can go around those and hold at high speeds.

I totally understand your point, but you have to take handling into account. The Vette kept up because of the muscle but he almost spun out several times when the Audi held.Originally posted by THE BOUNCER View Postbro you gotta remember that top gear is an entertainment show. they also gave the Zr1 car of the year in a different top gear episode.

ZR1 has gone around the ring faster then any Lambo and much much faster then the R8.
one of the best tracks in the world.

That's all well and good but it's a muscle car. Always has been classified one and always will be.
I'm not trying to bash it because the Vette is my favorite car of all time. It's just not a handling car. It's made for speed. Lightweight, but yet the body is still a bit bulky.
