Id take the R8, but only because of the exotic nature.

So I guess clarkson was wrong about the audi being the better car, the stig certainly proved otherwise and that was on a damp track where the Audi definetly had a huge advantage.

V10 R8 IS SICKKKK. Saw a few at H20 this year. Really cool looking cars. I’d still take a ZR1 though! Cool video.

They remind me of the TT, except 10x as badass. Now that you mention it, I think a white R8 would look pretty cool… next to a white ZR1 in the garage.

Yah. I agree with crazybrew. The corvette is unmanageable by most people. Plus, the entire story is told, when they knock on the rear valance of the corvette and the whole thing almost falls off taillights and all.
Tsk tsk America. At least make your supposed supercars nice. I mean, I understand why the cobalt and the focus suck, but when you pay top dollar for their top of the line model…

It outperforms ferraris and lambos for a quarter of the price, people will always find something to bitch about when it comes to american cars.

dont bash one until you see one in real life. They look FAR MORE impressive in person then over the computer screen…
what do you mean America is supposed to make their supercars nice? Have you ever heard of the Ford GT? Those cars are amazing and the ZR1 is in the same league as them.
