Shifter's crap.
Engine's a thing of beauty. Pure acoustic and visceral bliss.
Suffers some bump steer in heavy cornering on less than ideal pavement.
Otherwise, though, it's quite reasonably mild mannered on the street.
Not a half bad accomplishment, really, at 1/3 the price of cars it can compete with or even beat on the track.
using your argument, why not just go for the supercharged ariel atom? beats just about everything on top gear's track. not a half bad accomplishment, really, at 1/3 the price of a z06
Most of the time, "You get what you pay for". Unfortunately, the extra 100grand only gets you a Ferrari badge and a leather dash board.
Do they get the Cadillac XLR in Europe? I'm kind of surprised TG and FG haven't tested that yet, what with the XLR-V coming out. The XLR is built on the Corvette platform. So you can get a luxury Corvette with a folding hard-top in the form of the XLR, or a base model Corvette C6, or a track purpose Z06. It all depends on what your priorities are.
