Watched it several times. Seems you want nothing but praise. They gave praise and they gave a fair criticism. What exactly did you disagree with? Perhaps you provide your educated opinion.

I thought it was funny when he pushed on the rear of the car, and then knocked the dashboard.
Ya they do seem a bit biased, and have some wierd "american" comments. Like we dont keep thing in out museums past 50 years?
Uhh, ok.... sometimes I wonder about those guys. What needs to happen is an American show that debunks what they say. Two guys who re-run the tests here in the US.

Just thought I'd add it's *NOT* like a 50 yr old leaf spring suspension like they make it out to be. What you can't see in this pic is the leaf runs from lef tto right. Maybe someone else can dig up a better pic.

...and that would explain the GT3's time... it should have been faster. The RS is a more "race-ready" version of the GT3, but the difference is not so large that it would result in a 5 second lap difference. Maybe 1-2 seconds, not 5...
and the actual C6 test... could you have expected them to say anything more. Hell they said the Ford GT didn't handle as well as a Ferrari. The Top Gear blokes are VERY proud. they say it had a messy lap... so what.. the Carrera GT and SLR had "messy laps" too... they were all over the place. Why? Cuz they have a lot of damn power. They don't understand the torque of domestic V8's. Anyways...

I saw the TV shows of both Car and Driver and Autoweek this weekend and they both started with the C6. I can tell you that both were super happy with the car. They were amazed at how good this car is for its money in this category. C&D pretty much guarranteed that this new Vette will continue to be in the 10 Best Cars list next year.

They were biased. That was expected. They dont like corvettes.
Funny even after that "SLOPPY" run it still ran a respected number. Looked like that run could be improved alot. For the price I dont think that car could be beat.
The car should of tossed the nsx in the straight line. 400hp vs 290hp. I think they weigh similar too no? c6 is 3200lbs

Even the TVR model they tested runs high 12's / mid 13's in the 1/4, yet it smoked the C6.

LOW TECH THAT WORKS ON THE TRACK AND CITY AS WELL AS HIGH TECH IS BETTER THAN HIGH TECH!
That's the lesson here. They will never get it because it's not to their interest to get it. Cos it makes all of them, including the Japs, look like ASSES!

I mean this "low tech" discussion really reminds me of the dot com situation. In other words, the word that comes to mind is: FAD! Europe and Japan selling fad to the world and America going with what works. And note that I believe in no schools of thought and as you know, I am not biased. But this low tech, high tech argument is simply not existant and a bunch of crap which when you tell it, you sound like you have a good story but in the end it's fad!
Leaf springs, two valves per cylinder (not the case with the C6 but with the C5), OHV, pushrods, high desplacement, "low" specific HP (power per liter), etc., etc.
So if I, the USAmerican engineer can build a car that uses all of the above, so that I SAVE YOU DOLLARS, but at the same time do it so that the car STILL PERFORMS (track or city), then why would you bash me and call me low tech?
Do you think that GM cant build the engine in the ENzo? If Ferrari can hire the engineers that built the Enzo, or its engine, dont you think that GM can do that?
The question is not if GM can make a Ferrari beater, the question is can Ferrari or Porsche build a Corvette FOR THE PRICE OF THE CORVETTE! Let me answer it for you. NO. They absolutely CANNOT! Why? Cos they dont have the LS2 which is shared by a billion trucks and other cars (in 3 different versions) so that it brings the cost down to what it is. If Ferrari built the LS2 it'd cost 6 times more than what if GM built it.
Same for the platform and same for all the parts that are shared.
So now you go bash them for the low tech used. I see it the other way around which proves FAD! What is that?
If GM has proven that pushrods, leaf springs and all the other low technologies used can perform as well as the high tech, then doesnt that mean that what Porsche and the rest are selling you is FAD?! It's basically a lie! Stuff you dont need and just because it's high tech and complicated and because it tells a good story when promoted from people that know how to promote them, it makes you think you bought the best?
I am not saying that the C6 is as good as a 360 and it feels like one, etc., etc. But although I have not driven either, I hear a lot of comments from experts (even the biased ones) like: "wow, is this thing fun to drive!", etc., etc.
So there is nothing wrong with the way this car FEELS, which is completely subjective. So if the FEELING is right and if the performance is there and if the price is untouchable,
WHY WOULD ANYONE BASH THIS CAR FROM ANY PERSPECTIVE?!
Also, EVERY review from USAmerican mags I have read up to now have praised the shifter. I am listening to TOP GEAR and they bash the shit out of it. They make an effort to bash it.
Also:
Every reporter here praised the ride characteristics and how livable this car is. TOP GEAR humiliated the car's ride. What gives?

Gavril: The answer is pure bias. They showed it with many of their reviews. Their show is pure entertainment, not automotive journalism. They are pandering off the anti-American feelings in Europe at the moment, so of course, they will entertain the audience and bash anything american-made.

I dunno, as harsh as it was, there were some valid points about the car. For 50k I would like to have seen the car approaching m3 levels of refinement paired with the performance and the car is clearly lacking in that area.

edit:
it is actually the same, but 260hp/232tq vs. 405hp/400tq
current Z06 --> 19/28
CLS 6spd --> 19/28

How much money is GM really saving though when even under 20k cars today have the 'high tech' suspension.

Ya, I agree 100%. I was just trying to show they are using a leaf spring, but not in the old conventional way. That setup is nothing like an old pickup truck with leaf springs.
I'm with ya 100% man! just kinda ticked the way they worded it. So I was trying to show the suspension was not the way they depicted it.

If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
Same thing with DOHC and multi-valve engines. GM has some 20k cars with these features (Ecotech engines for example) but it doesn't mean that the OHV Pushrod LS2 is a bad choice. They use what works and the current C6 setup works VERY well.
Hell, my 350Z has a supposed "advanced or high-tech" engine and suspension, but the car makes less hp and mpg than the LS2 and my supposedly "advanced or high-tech" suspension can knock your teeth out on rough roads vs the smooth and even better handling "low tech" C6.

It's not about saving money for GM. It's about GM being able to sell the Vette in the numbers it sells and the money it makes off of that. And for you what that means, is that you are able to get a 12.7 second beast for $45K which you can drive to work and race at the track.

they just wanted to hate on the C6, that's all that's going on there..
that one dude complains about the C6's shifter, being hard to shift or whatever. yeah I bet he drives a Ferrari gated shifter and says "ahhhh pure exhilaration to shift this beauty" - if you've ever driven a Ferrari with a gated manual... you know its not exactly the most fun thing to do, but just because its a Ferrari, you're not complaining. I drove a friend's F355 6-speed recently, this is what I was thinking when I was driving it. The shifter squeaks as you put it into gear, its not smooth, but its OK because its a Ferrari...

Its a never ending debate that started a long time ago, hiteck yo vs lotec. As far as the z, that really has to do with the company, the purpose, and price of the car, not the technology. Sure the corvette can seem to skate by these arguments because of its price, but what happens when the xlr is brought into the argument with the same suspension. Are you really getting what you paid for. Seen the same thing come up with the nsx and vette, who cares if the nsx uses aluminum when the corvette uses fiberglass and is lighter. Wheres it stop? Doesn't a high price also justify the lastest technology/ materials/ etc, or is it just whatever works, as long as its comparable with whatever else.
