    The C6 ZR1 is undoubtedly the most impressive C6, but I actually prefer the N/A Z06. The LS9 is really good for straight line racing, but the balance of the 7 liter V8 in the Z06 is amazing. You add a fat cam, new heads, and a full exhaust system and you’re hitting 600+ hp NATURALLY ASPIRATED. All this in the price range of 30-40k. The C6 Z06 is a drivers car.

    Came here after fat Clarksons review from a very very long time ago.
    Tiff is always a little more classier.
    Love both of them.
    It is a sad day in TV now that the three goof balls have retired and with Tiff being more rarer.
    Time goes on. We wont see this level of entertainment again.

    My black 2005 Jaguar XKR coupe is a sophisticated, drop dead gorgeous, blue-eyed brunette, in a strapless cocktail dress, pearl necklace, high heels, and an English accent. My 2008 C6 coupe in crystal red over cashmere is a barefooted, green-eyed, strawberry blonde from the American heartland, wearing cut-off jeans, a wet t-shirt, and legs that go all the way up. I am in love with them both.

    I am so effing sick of European automotive journalists deriding American interiors, they may not look as nice initialy, and the quality of the materials may seem "cheap" but they dont fall apart like BMW, Audi and Mercedes interiors.
    As a car enthusiast i have owned and driven everything from a Ferrari California, to BMW M3's and M4's to Mercedes AMG missile wagons and one thing i can say is that the interiors of my American cars aren't f***ing falling apart like the European vehicles are.
    My 2011 BMW 335i interior was falling to pieces, adhesives giving way, touch surfaces rubbing off.
    On my Mercedes S class the Interior squeaks, rattles and crunches over bumps and anytime you touch the dashboard or try to adjust the air vents, it is terrible.
    European (German) cars might have a higher initial interior quality but they just fall apart in an appalling manner.
    My beater 2000 Chevrolet Malibu LS has a damn near immaculate interior after 25 years, American interiors are built to last, they might not be as "luxurious" feeling, but they damn sure are more durable.
