Wacky comparo, crazy conclusion. I agree, ZR1 is a lot of car for the money, but still, who cares?

Only last episode he said the V10 was the best car in the world. Shows you can't put any stock in what JC says.

Don't really care what he likes or not. Would still love Audi, even if he hated them.

But it sure entertains me every time - seems to be the main purpose anyway.

Is it British humor?

Did anybody else notice that they run the ZR1 on an almost dry tarmac, the R8 however had still patches of water...

Wonder how the time for the R8 would have been on a more equal surface - of course it's also possible the video and the actual run have nothing in common.

Even Jeremy reffered to the conditions as "dumpish".

That is my point: great entertainemt - no credability concerning the test figures what so ever.
