    a ZR1 isn't really a Vette either by that logic, they are both tuned production models.

    They averaged about 1400 per year in the 5 year run of the old ZR1's. 6939 total in 5 years.

    i was getting a little confused when Jimmy switch to a 956, I was thinking 959. Other thing to bear in mind is that was 25 years ago, what is the comparable P car time now? I have no idea, just throwing that out there. I love the performance of the vettes, but I am with Clarkson on the fit and finish. You still have to drive it everyday, for that money I don't want to see a GM truck radio.

    Don't go quoting wiki like it's fact. Please notice the NOTES section to the right.

    don't forget that the gearbox is rubbish and that the bumpers are plastic.

    I'll definitely agree with the latter and I can see where he comes up with the former after riding in a few nice cars.
