The Nissan GT-R found a place in his ‘good’ list however and so did the Caterham R500. The latter, purely because it was faster than the mighty Veyron around the TG track and priced thirty times less! Just when one had though he had settled for the Caterham, the Corvette ZR1 came in out of nowhere. With its sublime supercharged V8, the ‘Vette can be quite the car to either chug along smoothly around town going almost un-noticed or can prove to be an extremely potent and lethal simultaneously. This Dr. Jekyll - Mr. Hyde character is what makes this American supercar quite astonishing!
What won it for the ZR1 though is that it comes at a superb price for the kind of performance it delivers. Heck, it has seen off the Nissan GT-R and the Porsche 911 GT2 around the track! Hammond and May might disagree, but Jeremy’s take on the ‘Vette stands for the year 2009.

edit. I just reread the quote. it says the zr1 beat the gt-r and Porsche around the track. It doesn't say anything about Hammond and May picking those cars.

ugh...trying to think of something witty but I really don't give a shit. Jeremy Clarkson is entertaining and I enjoy the show a lot, but with the exceptions of my friends I rarely give a shit about anyone else's car opinions.

I agree completely. He is very biased when it comes to cars but he is entertaining to watch.

I remember a special he did where he tested the C6 Z06 and complained that while its performance was awesome for the money, it was too rough and impractical for a daily driver, which negated all of its positive performance aspects, then compared it to the Lotus Elise of all things, and pointed out how the Elise outhandled it for less money. Unbelievably stupid.
