Then they continue to bash :bang: Well u can understand they want to make a 50,000 car that performs better than a 100,000 car look bad. i wonder how slow the new z06 is gonna be guys :eyes: :eyes: maybe i am looking at this the wrong way but still

FWIW I wouldn't say they're bashing the C6, they give that level of criticism to pretty much every car they drive. That's sort of their style. British automotive journalist aren't quite as passive as American journalist. I think the American press is to scared about offending people or pissing off advertisers.

True very true.

I found the sacasim very amusing. I didn't realise that Vettes had leaf springs in the back.

I didn't realise that Vettes had leaf springs in the back.They're not leaf springs in the traditional sense of the word, rather it's a tranverse composite leaf spring. It reduces unsprung weight over a traditional coilover and gives more trunk room.... Me personally? Ditch the leaf and go with a proper coil over!

Hey, still better than a solid rear axle!
