I'd have to think they would make 450/450-470/470 and then go up another 30 in a couple years like they did when they went from LS2 to LS3 500/500 One can dream!

He'll find something to complain about, but deep down he loves Corvettes. He went nuts over the ZR1 he drove.

As far as I know, Jeremy has never drove a car that he calls perfect.

He stated he love for the c6 vert as well. You see that goofy grin on his face; clearly almost pissed at the fact he likes it that much.

I love when a car just shuts you the **** up:eek:

It wasn't total hate, but there wasn't much love either. but he obviously didn't have the traction control on at any point in this video.I'm at work so this may or may not be the right one.

One of the oddest comparisons I've seen.

Here's a quote by him concerning the zr1.

"It's hard to understand how the Americans have taken so long to make a car this good. They can make space shuttles and computers, so they must have had the ability to make a genuine world-beating car for years. Only now, though, have they decided to actually go ahead and do it."

He was pushing harder than need be. In a bad way.
