Calling this Corvette's engine an LT1 is almost as egregious as scrapping the whole Corvette name and calling it a Cavalier. I'd like to forget the original LT1 (and the Cavalier) ever happened... and maybe Chevy would too.

My first thought too. Followed by "Judge not, lest ye be judged." Followed by "But seriously this sounds like a stupid excuse."

Any other bloke? Sure. But this is Top Gear - they test expensive cars like this every day.

Porsche's new automatics (or twin-clutch or whatever) slip into neutral when not under load. This would be nice on all automatics, because the "creep" on automatics is really really annoying.

I could watch this guy all day.

Just remember, a few years ago we thought a $24k 2800-lb RWD 4-cyl with a back seat was too good to be true.
SHOW US YOUR BALLS, TOYOTA.

Same here. Ah, the old ball and chain.

Gosh, watching this makes me want to get on Netflix and go on an Archer RAAAAAMPAAGE

This is the sand equivalent of the 736-Horsepower Volkswagen Golf Declaring War On Its Front Tires from a few months ago.
TOO MUCH POWER

The movie and actor game. My pastor thought of it on the way to a mission trip one time. Name a well-known actor, and every one needs to come up with a movie he or she has been in or else they're "out."

"If they made a movie about you and I being in a road trip together, who would you want to play you?" START AT 1:34

Dreamers can dream! I'll "settle" for a C63 AMG.

This is so cool. Thank you for sharing.

Like the E30 M3 would give its blessing to this. Unless memory fails me and BMW actually used sound-induction tubes for the S14, I would say these two cars share little more than a badge in common.

I agree. But your cost per mile is nothing compared to the guy selling his $215,000 car for $30,000.

that two-grand might-as-well threshold.

I'm no color expert, but that's a very black-looking Atlantic Blue top.

I would rather see this than flat black plasti-dip on EVERYTHING.

Escalades are cool but I'd rather have a Chevrolet movie theater.
