  • Corvette's cool, but it's a bomb made by General Motors. R8 is worth paying for, cos it's nothing but beauty inside and out

  • let the stig drive it and it would destpory the 458, mp4-12c and any other super car in its range.. corvette zr1 is fucking amazing

  • I love the ZR1, but when it comes to my money, I would go with the R8 any day

  • haha he really hates saying he likes an american car!

  • i have no idea why clarkson always keeps bumping the rear of corvettes and say they stop working! will i got a c6z06 never break down! and looks nice!

  • R8. Any day.

  • @therandomsk8erben ZR1 any day.

  • awful

    

  • Seems to me like Jeremy was scared to put the ZR1 around the track... He didn't want an American car at the top of the power laps...

  • @MegaGunRush Well it wouldn't be at THE top but it would be NEAR the top.

  • @MegaGunRush it wont go near the top.. a 1:20 would be reasonable i suppose..

  • z06 has much better handling than the zr1

  • @judacribz do you know what you're talking about? Holy christ...sometimes I wonder what the average IQ of a youtuber is...

  • @roberth214 i test drove both vehicles, its part of my job sometimes. relax

  • @judacribz what's your point? I've test driven a lot of cars too...

  • @roberth214 my point is I know what im talking about.

  • @judacribz yeah, we're all F1 racers on youtube. Just like me.

  • @roberth214 thats nice want a medal?

  • @judacribz nah you keep it, you deserve it. After all, you detail cars for a living so you of course know, first hand, everything there is to know about cars! It's all yours buddy!

  • @roberth214 thanks!

  • @judacribz no problem!

  • @Locksus I'm not trying to get in a fight nor insult you I'm just trying to make a point because I don't like my country being disrespected like that.

  • @Locksus I'm American and I take no offense from this video, it is poorly built. other Americans don't care either calling Americans stupid you're so stereotypical. without Americans you wouldn't have the electric light bulb, the airplane, the cell phone. Now look at this video you see the car yeah with out us we wouldn't have the modern gas powered motor, oh and to see this video we also made youtube, to leave your comment the keyboard. Europeans aren't dumb either they're brilliant in fact.

  • you will get more pussy in the audi r8.=)

  • hmmmm... delicious car

  • 3:55 lol you are in a car and you want a bus ? WTF

  • 1:28 you know how to suck a pussy now !

  • dear saintan...

  • KONY 2012

  • As an American, I always look forward to the now obligatory cultural jab in every one of these UK Top Gear episodes that even mentions an American product. Just sort of roll my eyes and continue watching - great stuff. Certainly does get the YouTubers fired up, though, doesn't it?

  • @allMTN its rather funny to watch the obligatory youtuber get mad at the jokes. Cheers dude

  • @allMTN Yeah.No sense of humor.I love the comments by them.

  • Well look people, Jeremy said himself that he would take USA's ZR1 Corvette over Germany's Audi R8 V10, so there, problem solved. Now everybody go home, nothin' to see here.

  • I'd rather have the R8. It may fail in the straights, but handling in the turns makes it superior in actual racing conditions. Speaking as a former street racer who's expertise was running longer distances then 1/4 mile, I'd rather have a car that glided through corners with ease then brute power. It would be like Bruce Lee vs. Chuck Norris ( Finese vs. Strength )

  • hey hey hey why are you bringing Mexicans into this and also our dogs into this. i am Mexican .

  • will not pay $120,000 to drive a super car with a pushrod engine.For god sake, the world stoped pushrod engines 30 years ago.what the hell we are doing.

  • corvette all the way!

  • THE ZR1 is SEXIER

  • Is enough sexy R8 looking to own zr1 which look so so bad and is all plastic cheap material and stuff

  • @PoorIllyrian Cheap material? It has front brakes borrowed from the Ferrari FXX and the rear calipers are from the Ferrari Enzo. A lot of the car is carbon fiber such as the fenders, hood, roof, splitter, and rocker extensions. Love when you Top Gear fan boys believe anything that Jeremy says.

  • @MegaGunRush LOLLLL i wasnt even at the end where he tallk about plastic and whenhe said for 24 hour driving it in LA car stoped working :D now i have a question how come is with good material and still is mega cheap as BMW saloon car LOL and still bmw sale more saloon cars than corvette super cars ahahahah

  • That's funny, everytime i see an American drive the ZR1 it handles amazingly in the corners...Maybe that's because there's a little something called throttle control. As always, some British homo ignores common sense in a lame attempt to make America look bad. Their pathetic jealousy amuses me hahaha

  • @GRelated420 You DO know he says later in the show that he'd much rather drive the Corvette, right?

  • "if only could win its wars so convincingly"yeah ww2 saved britans ass from germany and raped the pacific.im japanese and im willing to say that.

  • i dont care what any of you losers say. clarkson is a world renound expert when it comes to automobiles. he likes the simplicity of the r8 however he likes the edge of a zr1. and if i recall he said that's exactly why you should buy a zr1. lol. so ill take his side.

  • I like both cars, but if I had the money I'd buy the Audi . New American cars are build so cheap like when he touched the back bumper. I like Cadillacs but that's it

  • he is dissing the car that broke the record at nuringburg....

  • Who the fuck cares where it's from its a car for gods sake, just enjoy it for what it is.

  • 5:49 ITS LEFT DRIVE ONLY BECAUSE ITS AMERICAN NOT EUROPEAN >:L

  • "Politics will never make man satisfied, so enjoy what you have, and it will reward you later". -Anonymous

    -So you people who continue these endless, bloody, childish, jokes and arguments regardless of what country from which you all come from... enjoy these brilliant and powerful cars, before those damn hybrids and electric cars eventually take over.

  • Corvette ZR1- A super car that you actually have to be able to handle the power?!?!? I would love to have the problem of trying to keep the car from getting sideways!

  • keep your global politics off horsepower matters please.

  • only idiots would the the vette

  • @allenamenwaren I guess I'm one of 'em.

  • @allenamenwaren only idiots dont know how to make a complete sentence

  • @MTLbigJ Lern du erst mal deutsch, you stupid american

  • I'd rather have the Corvette! And yes I'm English.

  • Dear Jeremy, you are talking about ''plastics'' on ZR1, but you never said, that all small and powerful British cars have ''plastic'' body panels… (Lotus, Caterham, Westfield, TVR, Aston Martin, etc).

  • @2jzgtejza80 aston martins are not plastic

  • @heywatchme101

    Composite ''plastics'' body panels are used on almost every newer Aston Martin, as well on every modern sport car. Do some research. Also USA car industry makes shit and crap cars, but Corvette ZR1 like new ZO6, Viper ACR, Boss 302, Camaro ZL1, are finally cars worth buying. Not only for DRAG, they can handle as well as Euro exotics. Primary ZR1 is made to compete against Euros on Ring.

    Corvette ZR1 is not cheap car outside of US.

  • @heywatchme101

    Reason why its still ZR1 cheaper than many Euros is because V8 pushrod is cheaper to made than DOHC V8. ZR1 have all-aluminum alloy chassis very strong and stiff. Body panels on ZR1 are made from composite ''plastics'' which is far better than plastic used for keyboard. CCB brakes, bulletproof g-box, great aerodynamic, very stable at high speeds, and finally worth every coin. And I'm still biggest fan of JDM cars and ex-owner of NA Supra.

  • 2 animals on wheels

  • 5:26 - When was the last time England won a war WITHOUT the U.S.'s help?

  • @camarochrisss 1982 Falklands War

  • @L999WAG Alright, you got me. haha

  • i wish i had a Audi R8 one of the best ever cars

  • @ChainGang194 See I could go both ways. My father and I are divided, I want the ZR1, he wants the R8 V10.

  • @GTIEdition35

    R8 all the way mate an amazing car

  • You gotta love Top Gear.

    He burns the rear tires off the ZR1 drifting it around the corners, then complains it doesn't handle.

    Top Gear has never been about the truth about cars. It's all about making a story.

    And if it includes taking a pot shot at Americans in the process, so much the better.

    It makes the target audience, povery stricken eurotrash, feel better about themselves.

  • @TwoLotus2

    Oh dear. Idiotic americunts taking these videos way too seriously. God, have some sense of humour. Way to go insulting Europeans who have nothing to do with this. Oh wait, you from America so I reckon you think Europe is a country. Wouldn't surprise me.

  • @Locksus

    I lump ignorant arrogant limeys in with the rest of the eurotrash.

    So if you're that type of a limey, don't think I neglected you.

  • @TwoLotus2

    Oh, man. Nice argument you have right there, "limey". Not. If you wanna be that butthurt over which is a better car, go right ahead. Can't hurt your pride that badly if a car reviewer says a few jokes about the car's country of origin. I know it wouldn't insult me. Or anyone with a decent sense of humour.

  • @Locksus Lmao you Europeans have quite an interesting sense of humor. Anyways, back to the real world, it's funny because you're suggesting Europeans are the center of the world, and then you knock Americans. All of your comments have been Americunts this and Americunts that. So really, who is the moron here? The guy coming on here insulting Americans to no end? Or the Americans on here who are telling you to get off your high horse?

  • @Locksus I apologize for the ignorance from my fellow Americans. We aren't all dumb, bull-headed idiots without a sense of humor. And trust me, the US needs a complete overhaul of our car industry. Most of our cars are complete crap. There's only a handful that are good.

  • @Locksus Americans are the dumbest out there. They probably couldn't name 5 countries... If they never had the internet they would have thought that they are the only country in the world LOL...

  • @Locksus ......How considerate, I'm an American, from Detroit no less, w/ a 4.0 GPA. Imagine that!

  • @Locksus We Americans have a great sense of humor, that's why we ignored the first twenty million hate filled, anti-American jokes. But even the best sense of humor wears thin at some point. For example, starting your comment with "idiotic americunts" isn't that insulting to us because at least it's a novel portmanteau of 'American' & 'cunt.' Though, I will say that being the twenty Millionth and first person to insinuate that we're stupid and ignorant doesn't say much about you.

  • @Locksus Hypocritical much? 

  • @Locksus Look at nurburgring ZR1 lap time and after that shut up ...

  • @Locksus HEY MORON EUROPE IS A FUCKIN PLANET!

  • @Locksus theres a reason no one gives a shit about europe anymore

  • @Locksus Please don't think everyone from the US is a retard. We're mostly normal.

  • I love Top Gear but I'm getting tired of hearing this guy bad mouth my country.

  • Nissan Gtr 2012 > Audi R8 > Zr1

  • Fastest car is the corvete 1st place in the world u can check it. IN top 25 car fastest. SO i dont see any audi that is fast. And people dont undersatand american car. All computers are from america. Intel and so on. So audi cost more than corvete its simple. ANd its not better car. Ford gt u can compare to with lamborgini and u will see something. I Dont like audi because overriced. Nissan gtr eated this r8 and r6 with 800 hp ANd see it in moscow drag racing.

  • @MakeSh00t The Ford GT is out of the question simply because it is not in production; and older ones cost a shitload of money. Despite Audi being known for luxury cars, the R8 can easily go against a Gallardo. The GTR is fast, but it's uncomfortable.

    Clearly, all you care about is speed and horsepower. A 140k bmw 7 series without luxury features would be a complete waste of money.

  • @lwanttobestronger go watch video audi r8 and nisan gtr. OR rs6 moscow racaing drag 800 hp rs 6 vs nissan gtr 660 hp. SO u talk to much. Uncofortable? Dude i just say audi is wv and cant be top car in the world. U know that american car is fastest in the world ? Shelby Check it and see it. ANd 1st all u know who is fastest car in the world in drag racing? Q/mile? Corvette check it and google it top 25 cars in the world fastests. Qmile buggati vas 7th. I dont talk what i think. I talk what iSEE

  • @MakeSh00t Seriously? RS6, an executive sedan, vs a car created for straight line racing?

    If by Shelby, you mean the SSC Tuatara which isn't in production yet, you'll have to wait and see, if you mean the Ford Shelby, then clearly, you're pulling shit out of your ass.

  • Cuz america sucks thats why he takes the piss so much!

  • American Cars are sh!t

    Only Vehicles we come close to 'Perfect' is trucks. Cause were the only country who use them each & every day.. As for Cars.. no sir Foreign Countries no there Super Engines. #Audi

  • thats what american cars have always been about tho, brute faking poooowwwer!!! vrrroooooommm baby!!

  • the problem is that the old fat man can't drive

  • America is the best, hands down he can't handle the power of a true american car haha

  • song at 1:42?

  • And admitted being wrong about range Rover if u have seen the south American challenge special

  • learn how to drive a corvette....

  • @TopGear i agree with jeremy , fuck USA , it's europe who created cars from the beggining ain't i right ?

  • @EMIR72CC Without the financial help from the U.S., europe wouldn't be making anything!!!!

  • @EMIR72CC lol keep crying bitch, might wanna see a therapist about that inferiority complex you got there

  • @EMIR72CC Well, it's American entrepreneurs that created YouTube..... hell, it's the birthplace of the PC (actually macintosh, but the personal computer nonetheless...).... the smartphone.... the tablet.....

    Something to think about

  • 5:26 "If only America could win its wars so convincingly"

    I know one war that the US won convincingly...the Revolutionary War.

  • @yonkersfugitive and only if america could lose weight so convincingly

  • @yonkersfugitive LMFAO. That's right!

  • damn that audi is nice but i love the corvette. man eating machine.

  • The R8 GT doesn't compete with the ZR1 though... the pricing means the ZR1 should compete with the V8 R8... apples to oranges really.

  • he cant drive for shit - go and watch evo, autocar or fifth gear for real driver reviews.

  • Ease up and give it traction? Faster, yes, but this is and entertainment program. No one wants to watch a car go around a corner on an open runway slowly and properly.

  • @jtathaizzosh no we want to see the which car is fastest.

  • this guy needs to learn how to drive a rear wheel drive car. jesus. he lays on the gas like a german luxury. learn how to ease up a bit to give it traction

  • My favorite part is at 5:36 ... American cars = plastic cheap shit. So what if it's more powerful? It's got more liters and a supercharger...but look at the built quality, it's shit.

    You can make a lot of cars have 600+ hp...and it won't cost you a $100,000 like that Vette.

    So if horsepower is your only criteria then why even buy the Vette, you can get that same power and more for less.

    The Audi R8 could have been better looking, but they fucked the styling which had potential up.

  • Flappy paddle? wtf kinda lame ass name for a dual clutch gearbox is that?

  • I'm pretty sure we beat you brits convincingly in a war... twice! lol

  • @ajb337 im pretty sure we gave you your country.

  • 5:27 there's no replacement for displacement

  • ..... audi doesnt even use there own engines on the street zr1 would smoke a r8 hands down

  • Audi R8 V10 is the most attractive and beautiful car ever made on Earth

  • @AnonymoussourceL0L Twilight lol but brazil is south America so is argentina europe sucks

  • @kbkt454ss. i know that :)

  • This guy can't drive! That's why he doesn't like the vette. He can't handle that much power in the turns. I'm not even joking;)

  • @kbkt454ss even god can`t handle the vette every driver would preffer audi over corvette

  • @kbkt454ss This guy can't drive? Dear lord! Jeremy has been behind the well of a car show for over 2 decades. He has driven the best cars in the world, over and over again. Has shown SO many times in TV that he's able to powerslide easily through the corners. And you're saying he can't drive? No dude...facts are facts: The vette is almost impossible to drive properly through a corner. At least, a stock vette.

  • @Zahriel being on tv doesn't make you able to drive. there is no reason for him jerking the wheel as he does in the vette to put on a show. and 2 decades ago cars were only half as fast as they are now. Even just 10 years ago these type of cars aould have only made 3-400hp. We are talking double here! 638 to be exact. of course he's going to be able to control the slides better with the audi. that only has 500 and even less torque. you're right, facts are facts.. he can't drive!

  • @kbkt454ss and neither can you....

  • @machinejet try me!

  • @Zahriel Well the ZR1 set a 2:50.4 lap time at the Virginia International Raceway, in the hands of Car and Driver, so while difficult yes, the ZR1 can turn.

  • faggets cant handle vettes

  • why does the gps....in a car...have directions on how to drive to a bus stop...

  • sounds like americans can't build a good car .

  • Yeah they can keep the Queen we will stick with freedom and the moon and greatest boxers greatest movies every week greatest soccer players ..... Haha cricket

  • @1IImrxII1 best soccer players are Brazilian... and we are also the creators of some of the WORST movies of all time. *cough* Twilight *cough*

  • RIP grapes

  • i'd take the audi any day

  • Why do I feel that this guy makes bad comments about America in every car video -_-

  • @InsurgenceRX Cause he knows american cars can make European cars look like a joke.

  • @italiankilla58 kiddin right?

  • @keffje007 Um nope i kid u not.

  • @InsurgenceRX Most brits have an inferiority complex, especially since they are left irrelevant after the turn of the century.

  • @InsurgenceRX and Germany ...

  • @InsurgenceRX Jeremy makes bad comments about everyone..part of why enjoy the show..no playing favorites

  • @daglobaltruth Lol no playing favorites? Jeremy Clarkson plays favorites with the Range Rover

  • @InsurgenceRX Because in their [Americans] eyes, only they are the best, only they did this, and that, and other useless junk (apart from being the "first" to launch a space shuttle").

  • @InsurgenceRX whats wrong with that?

  • @InsurgenceRX

    He does and rightfully so. American cars are rubbish in the bends and the interiors are similar to those in a Mexican prison.

  • @shiconia When was the last time you were in a Mexican prison?

  • He said america needs to win a war. I know who were not helping next!

  • @blakester854 If you take Top Gear seriously, specially Jeremy Clarkson, then you REALLY have to check your head. Top Gear is the most famous car show world wide, yes. But their "seriousness" ran out several years ago! D:

  • @blakester854 if only America can win its wars so convincingly* meaning we win, just not so convincingly...

  • The Vette looks so much better than the glorified bug.

  • you know why they didn't put the ZR1 around the track? Europe can't live with the fact that our American muscle will beat all of the main stream european supercars. Jeremy can't live with that

  • yeah he cant drive the ZR1!

  • 06:05 lol A little too much 'mad' for ya Jeremy..

  • Does anyone knows whats that song in the background from 1.42-2.26

  • The Audi R8 tops them all.Any R8 haters can tell me all sort of things abt the R8.But it will remind as the champion forever.

  • "in the corners its a complete madman" NO it's a fu%king supercar.. Learn to drive, these cars were made to be tough as nails and to take those kinds of turns with ease. you're getting too old clarkson.. Dismissed.

  • Hell this guy cant drive a Vette, thats the problem, I have seen R8s getting spanked at road atlanta by vettes of all kinds, the audi is a piece of junk.

  • Rule of thumb - whatever car Jeremy drives, the other car can go faster around the course. Around the Nurburgring - ZR-1 was 7:24, I believe. The video is on youtube. Can the R-8 beat that, despite the extra cost?

  • lol fuck that ZR1

  • am i the only one that thinks the R8 looks like a stretched out vw beatle?? jeremy needs to learn the saying "slower is faster", he definitely had a heavy food around those turns.

  • @laptoph4x yea but he is an average guy probably a little better then me or you at driving but it has to be recognized that the ZR1 is not easy to control

  • You should buy a car that falls apart??

  • playing forza is just not enough
