Don't get too mad at 'em. They just don't know what to do w/an 8 cyl muscle car.

Rumor has it the drag race scene was filmed multiple times and they chose the one that made the C6 look the worst. They had abused the car to the point where the rear tires were blad and the clutch was slipping so its amazing it did as well as it did.

I normally enjoy Top Gear reviews but in this case I agree they went a bit overboard. I'm actually glad the other guy reviewed the car. Apparently the guy that normally does them (Jeremy Clarkson) has "issues" with any American car that isn't a GT40.
