Jeremy Clarkson names ZR1 'Car of the Year'

[Vitoc]

Quotes from Clarkson:
"And then out of nowhere came the ZR1, which has a supercharged V8 that manages to be both docile and extraordinarily savage all at the same time. I?ve been trying to think of a dog that pulls off a similar trick, but there isn?t one. And anyway, this car is not a dog."

"It is an epic car and I?m only sad that unless the healthcare and pensions company that makes it can be turned around, it will be the last of the breed."

Of course, in true Jeremy Clarkson fashion, he goes on to rip on the build quality but if the build quality really were that poor and he's still willing to name it the "Car of the Year" that just makes it all the more impressive, doesn't it?

Can't wait for them to get a ZR-1 on their test track and see how it stacks up.  Based on how well the Z06 did against competitors 2-3x the cost just a few years ago, I believe there are going to be even more pissed off Eurocar fans when the ZR-1 hits their test track (hopefully with the Stig behind the wheel). ;)

I will own one. I swear it.
