I want to see that Vauxhall on Top gear soon! Nice looking car. Some people would say 60K for the ZL1 is too much, it has always been about how much you can afford and how bad you want it!

So about 55k pounds?

I have never agreed with the conversion of pounds to dollars for comparison reasons.

A 55k pounds car in the UK is like a $55k car in the US. In terms of living standards, its more 1:1 than 1:1.5.

Does the ZL1 also have a twin disk clutch?

FYI, $83K in the UK is fundamentally different than $83K in the US.

Generally speaking, cars are much cheaper in the US than most everywhere else, except perhaps China and India.
