In the last episode of Top Gear Jeremy Clarkson it has tried - ONLY REGISTERED AND ACTIVATED USERS CAN SEE ALL LINKS - CLICK HERE TO REGISTER. Like car from track, a wonder, like car from track, than "does not resemble for nothing to an car American", perhaps than it is not the maximum of the refinement in terms of handling, but whose "force bruta" renders it much controlable one. Thanks to its gigantic V8 (7 liters, 500 and pass horses) are in a position to leaving from detention in fifth and accelerating until 175 miglia/orarie
Clarkson is never asked also like the Z06 costs 90.000? against the 240.000? of the Ferrari 575M, inasmuch as from the dynamic point of view not there is null that it justifies this difference... on track. The difference is felt on road. The Ferrari is usable calmly, on the Clarkson Corvettes says: "as something to live with every day, I' d rather have bird-flu".
In compensation, the Z06 marks one between the best times than always on the track of Top Gear (faster than one Zonda!).
