Fun Corvette Z06 review by Top Gear - BMW 3-Series (E90 E92) Forum

They pit the Z06 up against a wall of fire

Stig's test around the track, wait till you see the time he got...

Man what a beast this car is!

That episode was fun, especially when Stig did the final lap in the Leona! He beat Nigel Mansell by like 2 seconds.

I love my E90, but mark my words....I will own this car and it will be worth every penny I spent on it.....

How come you saw that episode in the US? It was only broadcast on the BBC in the UK on Sunday evening.

They're posted online within minutes of airing in the UK. A couple hours later and we're watching the same episode you just saw

tl_boy · 05-16-2006, 02:31 PM

i've never liked domestic (with the exception of classics), but yeah, the Z06 is a different category.

now thats value.

i really like this guys reviews. they are much more fun than Motorweeks. I liked the Koenigegeg or whatever review too, and the race against a line of fire on this z06 was just awesome.

He's one lucky guy.

Hes got the new Z06 and took me for a ride...what a car, its pretty quiet too..I was really surprised

Now that's funny

As an expat, I have a great love for the show. Just watched the first two episodes from the new season. Have every other episode on my external drive. Fifth gear too - Finalgear.com also has all the Fifth Gear episodes.
