iam not american! but i have a ZO6! i never heard the sound he is talkin about! maybe bcoz i enjoy the drive more dont know! and fuel? when i bought it i never cared about fuel! coz simply it is a fast car! i didnt give a shit about fuel! who would car about fuel when they are buyin sport car ? com'on! and it is stock engine (N/A) imagine it with a supercharger!! it is fast!

i wish he would drive the c6rs that would of shut him up about how cheaply american cars were made give americans 200k to play with u come out with an amazing car but for the price corvettes are amazing

Just one thing I want to make clear for all those who haven't looked into things very deeply. Jeremy says the Corvette runs on leaf springs. This is true. He says they're like a pram or an oxcart, this is not true. The arrangement he's talking about has the leafs mounted parallel to the vehicle, acting as a spring and holding the wheels in place (kinda). The Corvette uses transversely-mounted composite leafs, acting EXACTLY like coils, but taking up less space and increasing roll stiffness.

He's probley bought and sold a bunch of cars, as we all have. Let's face it though, for the price of a new Corvette any model- you're getting a pretty good deal. He gets to drive the top cars in the world at absolutely ridiculus prices. For the price of this ZO6 you'd get a lot of bang for your buck! For anyone out there that owns one of these beauties, I'm the guy standing on the sidewalk drooling as you pass by- great choice of ride and good luck to you!

@dankebuddha HA i have yet to come across any stock small block that can compete in handling

[osp80]

@Nick1944 none of the haters get that."THE FERRARI 430 MAKES THAT FROM 4.3 LITERS!!!" yeah,it's tuned to death and gets 11/16mpg barely better than a h2 hummer

[pete9047]

That guy has to be one of the world's biggest wankers! I thought he could actually get through a presentation without bagging America or an American car. Funny how the dickhead owns a GT40, and his midget sidekick owns a Mustang. Typical Limy snobs!

@noshabibis: I have 2009 Z06. It is easy to get 27 on highway. If I really, really tried, I feel I could get 30mpg or even little more. We are talking tailwind, drafting trucks, taking miles to increase 5 mph, flat road. Never pressing gas pedal to go uphill.

I got 33.05mpg in my 2000 Caramo SS. Using calibrated odometer at distances over 200 miles. Important to go longer distances because of greater accuracy. 50 or 100 miles will not give the accuracy. Also 1984 Imapala - 29.2mpg

[onquarter]

most fuel efficient 500+ hp car. period.

It may have A leaf spring, but it rips.
