Sadly the GT-R and VW Scirocco weren't quite good enough.  Aw.

Heh, those cars weren't good enough? Did somebody else honestly expect those to be better than the ZR-1? The car is a work of art. Don't the older Skylines have notorious transmission issues too? Why give a car that has had known problems in the past that we still don't see fixed the car of the year? Heh, I remember a video I see a month ago where somebody had a Skyline and got a custom transmission for $10k. They were bragging about their car and put it on the drag strip. They moved maybe 1 foot once the light turned green because even the custom transmission isn't good enough. XD

I agree it is an amazing car & I would love to spend some time giving one of those beasts a good thrashing. but we Europeans like our cars to last a bit longer before things start failing. I mean its OK for a TV presenter to say its his car of the year but in the real world build quality means alot.

Good game Corvette on producing an amazing car now sort out the build issues & you will sell a shit load of them in Europe.

build quality was still not up to scratch in the Corvette - Clarkson claimed that after three days of driving the ZR1 "the boot lock disintegrated and the key less go system refused to acknowledge the keys were in the car".

I'd rather have a lock replaced under warranty than a transmission.

Lol is that why in the newest edition of Top Gear he said that the Audi R8 was his car of the year?

oh ok, yeah it is an awesome machine. But when people compare it to the GT-R, as if the GT-R is supposed to be compared with the ZR1, it just shows how little they know about shit
