I( hope everybody got to see all four segments of the review. The links to the last three didn't come through on this thread. Clarkson was very complimentary about the ZR-1, saying how well the car worked as a car, then shocked by the blistering acceleration available as a contrast. He was also pleased to break the standing mile record for production cars, totally stock except for tire pressures, at 176 MPH. He was also very complimentary about the CTS-V, telling the other guy how fast it was at the 'Ring. After that guy got to drive the V in the mountains, he absolutely loved it. He too was ecstatic with a standing mile of 163 MPH, totally stock, with a stick, no less. I was surprised he was complaining about the selection of radio stations-did he know the car had XM? I was also surprised that the three drivers didn't switch cars during their long drive to Bonneville, though they had ample opportunity. I would have liked the others' impressions of each car. Overall, they all seemed pretty impressed with their trio of American iron, even the Challenger.
