He bought one. Then his order was 6 months late and it was constantly breaking down on him once he did finally get it. I think he still has it though.

hes always liked the vette, when he test the z06 he thought it was awesome that the car had so much torque he put it in 5th gear from a stop and took it to 160mph, even though vette will do 180 he ran out of room. Then compared it to the the ferrari and was llike, the look similiar , the vette is faster, theyu both handle great but one is half the price. Then hes like oh yeah the interior...

i only know of 5 american cars they tested they liked,challenger , new cts-v, zr-1,Holden manero (gto), zo6
