I hate reading the majority of automotive mags. Motor Trend is OK, but I am not a fan of them. Car and Driver is the WORST. Automobile mag is one of the few I still enjoy reading from time to time. Back on topic, the ZR1 is secks. ---

Ed Zabinski has his and it’s disgusting. I’m not a GM/Vette fan by any means but it’s a damn quick car in a straight line and can hold it’s own on a course with proper input. ---
