Default Top Gear Mag tests the new Z06

Not sure if this is in the right place or not, but Top Gear has just tested the new Z06. It's only an article, but hopefully we'll get to see it sometime this fall on the show.

Here's the link:

Pretty nice article, hopefully the boys at the TV show got their hands on the car as well.

And there's one further good reason for those with the means to seriously ponder buying one: the £60,000 price tag. Driven back to back with a Lamborghini Gallardo or a Ferrari F430, the Z06 would be every bit as rapid; yet you could buy yourself two of these for the price of either.
That was a good article, considering how critical Europeans are about interior fit and finish, which may be very well true. However, get rid of the unions and you could maybe sell this car cheaper than it is now and then have an interior worth boasting about.

Well, there are only a few C6 Vettes in the UK now, and no Z06s that are available i think

And then, TG has already recorded most of the features for this season, so i guess it will be next year before we see the Z06 on the TG Test Track

Yeah, thats what I've been saying as well, but there's always that tiny glimmer of hope I guess.
