Fun Corvette Z06 review by Top Gear

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.

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

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.

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.
