every year i go to the washington dc auto show (quite possibly the worst one in the united states). and every year i go behind a corvette and do the top gear tail light test.

If you don't know the test, it's simple. Take your index finger and go near the rear tail lights. Put your finger against the car and push. The rear end should flex significantly including the entire light assembly. Then you laugh and walk away. This year was no different. I hope to try it on the zr1 soon. I'm sure it'll fail as well.


I don't know what it is, but the corvette is on the bottom of the list of sports cars to buy.

the gtr is great, i saw it at the washington dc autoshow as well, they actually displayed the japanese version, RHD and all. It was the best car there, followed by the R8.

haha I have seen the episode of Top Gear that you're talking about. It may have flexible tail lights but the $150k I would save by buying it over anything that compares to it would make me forget all about that.

Um, no, the ZR1 is still going to be faster (on paper) than the V Spec.

I cant imagine drifting a new GTR, its like bastardizing it lol.
