Same as how much nissan paid motor trend and automobile for naming the gt-r car of the year?I don't think any amount of money could bribe a man who hates american cars as much as he does unless it was actualy a good car.

I think a lot of people knew that the ZR1 was the greatest!

It is a remarkable car, and if you had watched the epsiodes where they did the salt flat tests, it was a "challenge" it didn't appear they were looking forward to.
However, in the three cases, they were all driving exceptional cars.
That ZR1, regardless of make is a furious machine
The price? Thats what I think makes it the best car of the year

ZR1 is so sick. Of course coming from a GM fanboy, this post is biased. I'd love a ZR1. Too bad making $120,000 Vehicles wont save GM.

It's a little better. More on par now with a shitty plastic Nissan interior.

Clarkson despises American cars but he loves the ZR1 so it is not surprising he chose it as his favorite. It is a tremendous achievement, but unfortunately it is the end of cheap power and fast supercars. End of an era.

I saw the episode he drove it in. Even he was surprised he liked the car.
I think it's absolutely gorgeous. :love:

:eek: U sure this is the Jeremy Clarkson off of Top gear? and not some other guy named Jeremy Clarkson? LOL!
CTS-V for the win.
:facepalm: for the first car GM cuts from it's line up.
