Message: <blockquote data-quote="si|verfish" data-source="post: 1965169" data-attributes="member: 2758">new22003; you seem to think everyone here get all their information off Top Gear...lol.On the "myths" that you tried to dispel, might I add that there is no smoke without fire.I'm not one to argue that the Z06 (or the new Corvette for that matter) is a bad car. I think its a great car but lets not get carried away.Anyway, I think you are trying to address the possibly false perception people have with American cars or performance cars instead of just the Vette right? So, I'll reply with this in mind."slow revving"I think people who say this are speaking generally and relatively. I haven't read one review from Europeans who said this about the Z06 however. European and Japanese performance engines tend to be rev happy and need to be revved to bits to be enjoyed. American engines have a lot more grunt low down and don't need to be revved hard to get going. They are also generally more laidback in nature in a lazy, rumbling sort of way."poor fuel mileage gas guzzlers"Yes the smallblock in the Vette is a remarkable engine. How bout the rest? How bout the Mustang's V8? There's a reason why people get the impression that big American engines are gas guzzlers."poor handling"The new Vette is indeed a good handling car, as has been reported by many European mags, even Top Gear. Again, how bout the rest? How bout pevious Vettes? The new Vette can't be the only performance car out of America after all these years? How many good handling production cars came out of America? GM only started bringing their products to the Nurburgring not too long ago. Tells you something, doesn't it?"unsophisticated"Again, relatively speaking, compared to the rolling computers and technofest that is recent European and Japanese efforts, the Corvette may be seen as unsophisticated."quality"This is about quality instead of reliability right? The Corvette might be built properly but it is also built to a price (that's why its cheap). Therefore it comes across looking like a bargain basement kind of thing.</blockquote>
