dang he's getting soft!!

but really i can tell he liked the vette when he tested it on top gear..its a good episode its season 12 i just forgot the episode number but look it up.

this year the 3 cars jeremy kept on about was the zr1, the zonda F roadster, and the merc black clxx.

out of those the zr1 would be the most flexible. i do wish this article came with a video just so i can see the reaction of people around him after he said that.

Holy Jesus. That's it. The world is coming to an end.

5th Gear Picked the ZO6 (split decision) one or two years ago as car of the year.

...tho with its 60 treadwear tires if driven it would take a third of the miles off, haha

on a side note... I dont want to have to wait until March for the next series of TG... noesss

Are you serious, 60 treadwear tires? That thing must be a handful in the rain. I wonder how many miles the tires are good for, like 3k?

yep yep, but if your going to drop 125k on a BS... id assume that blasting throught 4 sets of tires a year will be just fine :thumbs_up:

hell it should be a requirement

I thought the SL65 Black Series was more like 300k? Also, I just got my Road and Track today and they only managed an 11.8@126.3mph in one. For the money color me unimpressed. For 300k I expect at least low 11's :bigthumbsup:

Ive only seen the SL at the LA Auto Show, im referring to the original Black Series (CLK)


I know that Clarkson(to keep on topic) had massive issues with the newer AMGs due to the fact that there is no way to put the power to the ground, hell even mine is soooo bad... tho will be better when i finally ditch the all seasons :(

All seasons? That sucks. Are the tires due for replacement any time soon or are they in good shape?
