Article says 3 ZL1s were crashed at VIR. I only heard of the 1 crash. Anybody heard of the others?

I love watching Top Gear for entertainment.
They do nothing but contradict themselves. They hate one car for a certain quality but praise another for that same quality. With that, I believe if the GT500 was Australian, German, Italian or anything un-American, Top Gear would love it. This also isn't James, Richard, or Jeremy writing the review.

I did not read any hate at all. In fact, I read disappointment. It's actually a point brought up in many other reviews: too much power to have safe fun.

They like the ZR1, challenger srt8 and CTS-V. Gt 500's blow.

So despite ALL of the other magazines getting free reign of a gt500, tracking them, and even running a top speed test, top gear couldn't get one without Ford running the show at road atlanta? Odd.
