This test makes no sense what so ever, in other test such as the Motor Trend test where the lined up the ZR1, Ferrari 599, Nissan GTR and the GT2 it was a completely different story. Yes the GTR and the GT2 got the best launch with the GTR having AWD and the GT2 having its weight over the rear. However after all of the cars hooked up the Corvette and Ferrari caught up to the other two fast and started to walk on them with the Corvette up front.

Im trying to wrap my brain around this as to why this tends to happen everytime when a European car mag compares an American car like the corvette to a European car.

Has Top Gear yet to drive the ZR1 on their track?
