That show is more for entertainment value than anything else. I think they have to find something wrong with every car they review, and they were hard up to find anything significantly wrong with the Z06, except that it is American made . . .

You guys got to understand british humor. Most of what they do is entertainment. But they will also give credit where credit is due. Clarkson is a DIE HARD Ferrari guy, he lives and breathes Ferrari. So when he said he would take the Z over the 550 that was a HUGE compliment.

When it comes to complaints, they very RARELY have a car they don't moan about. when they did the veyron, clarkson was bagging on it the whole time. And in all seriousness, he hit the nail on the head with the nav system. A race breed car with nav.........come on. And considering they are usually testing mega dollar cars with the best of everything in them, the vette does come off as chinsey in comparison with the interior parts. However he wouldnt stop commenting on the amount of power and performance you get for your $.

when you watch this show you have to read between the lines a bit. Clarkson also talked about how much the Ford GT was a pile, but guess what, he bought one for himself.
