ZR-1 and Cadillac CTS-V on Top Gear next week.

And the Dodge! I am sure Clarkson will find fault with them as always but sill worth a watch to see the Vette and Caddy in action!

Finally Top Gear liked the Corvette......and the Cadillac CTS-V to boot.

[recycled]

the vette was brilliant

[car95]

Great entertainment. I mean documentary.

[Mello]

Never thought I'd see/hear Jezza complimenting the Vette. I did hear right... he said he was going to buy one when he got back to england, didnt he?

[Godzilla]

Very unlikely as he appears to have just blown £100k on a CLK Black.

Best episode ever.
Ironically, the non-ironic US Immigration service did us all a favour by making the boys behave themselves (slightly) hence making actually a far more entertaining car programme than has been the norm recently.

Now, I just need to wait patiently while the US credit crunch brings ZR1s down to $80k and the £ goes back up to $2... (yes, I know; I'll have quite a wait. )

Lottery tickets would seem to be your only hope Mr. Yu.

I watched the programme too and i have to say i was looking forward o the ZR1 piece and the incar shot of clarkson flooring it was incredible! What a savage noise.

[G4HKS]

I hate to admit it but it was a good show! Star in a car sent me into a mild trance though.....

[LuS1fer]

It was everything TG should be every week - the cocking about subliminal to the fact it's a programme about cars. I also have to concede that in ZR1 form, the C6 finally looks good.

However, I'll take a CTS-V in black but only because you can't squash kids in a ZR1 - oh and I don't have enough mony for either.

I think the surprise was that they even liked the Challenger and seem to have suddenly "got" what American cars are about. Roll on the TG lap.

All three are awesome motors, their journey brought back memories as they followed the same route I took in a T-Bird a few years ago, also ending up at Bonneville Speed Week. Stood with Alex Xydias, Peter Stevens and Nick Stephenson watching their MG ZR Estate crack 225mph. Watching isn't as fun as taking part though, and it's bloody hot there! Well impressed with the CTSv and ZR1 standing mile times, 176mph and 163mph, not too shabby at all on tarmac, let alone on salt! 150mph for the Challenger was pretty good too.

[longbow]

Damn, missed it! Anyone know when the repeat will be on?

[car95]

7:00pm Wednesday night is the repeat as I recall.

[MrVelox]

I was shocked at how good that episode was and how much they liked the cars. IMO, that may be quite the shot in the arm for GM Europe.

I'm trying not to laugh at Ask Elvis' last reply (who is this man anyway? And is he on an island with Shergar as well?)

Anyway, agree a bit witht eh star in a car bit - Will Young - I'm really into cars...then (sorry for RR ovwners) - I've got a supercharged Range Rover Sport. Sounds like celebrity set choice rather than total petrolhead choice to me?
