Cranky Brit auto-journalist extraordinaire Jeremy Clarkson has, shockingly, named the 2009 Corvette ZR1 the best car of this past year. Of course, he also selected an American car as one of the worst.
When Jeremy Clarkson first reviewed the ZR1 he claimed love for the American-made supercar despite the propensity for it to disintegrate. In his year-end retrospective for the Sunday Times he essentially repeats this claim but says, despite this, it was the best car of the year.
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.

Those wacky guys at MotorTrend get all the fun. When they were given the keys of the new awe-inspiring Corvette ZR1, they decided to pit it against the mighty Ferrari 599 GTB, Nissan GT-R and Porsche 911 GT2. Luckily for us, they threw us a bone by recording the supercar showdown for the world to see. Hit the jump to see the 638-hp Corvette ZR1 take on some of the best and brightest from Italy, Germany, and Japan. We watched the video 4 different times, just to see the differences in the starts and finishes of 4 very different supercars. Read the rest of this entry »

This C6 Corvette ragtop has been caught rear-ending a W210 Mercedes E-Class in Ventura county on the morning of September 5th. Luckily, no one was hurt, but take a look at the the structural integrity of a convertible Corvette. Considering that it has driven under a 2 Ton Mercedes Benz, its remarkably in shape. One must wonder how the Vette driver felt after it was all over, staring up at the Mercedes’ driveshaft.

An out-of-control Hertz Corvette ZHZ crashed into a popular and upscale Dallas restaurant yesterday, proving yet again the age-old axiom, “with great rental horsepower, comes greatly diminished responsibility.”
The basically brand new special edition “Velocity Yellow” ‘vette with a black hood and roof stripe was added to Hertz’s Fun Collection” lineup only about 1 month ago. So yea, it was about time one was smashed up by some idiot vacationer hoping to play with too much horsepower.
