Message: <blockquote data-quote="new22003" data-source="post: 1955419" data-attributes="member: 46263">I know you got this from watching the top gear Clarkson review. Top Gear, and especially Jeremy Clarkson, generally gets a lot of info and facts wrong and they can be VERY biased or present things in a misleading way. Top Gear is very entertaining but I can list something they get wrong factually almost every show. While the Z06 does have a leaf spring in its suspension it is state of the art and shares nothing with typical parallel packed leafs. It is a single carbon composite TRANSVERSE leaf not used to hang the suspension. It is actually superior to coils since it is much lighter in weight. The Corvette rides quite well actually, better than a Ferrari regardless of what Jeremy Clarkson says. I have personally ridden in a Ferrari 360 and a 2006 Z06 and can tell you the Corvette rides as good as the Ferrari. Here is a photo of the rear suspension of a z06, try and spot the "antiquated leaf springs".http://www.z06vette.com/gallery/data/500/788Rear_Frame-med.jpg http://www.c6registry.com/Technical/Tech%5Fimages/images/PV__015817__.jpgTop Gear/Clarkson also complained about the fuel mileage of the Z06 when in fact it has an EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) rating of 41 kilometers (26 miles) per gallon highway.  That’s incredible for a 7.0 liter engine. That is better than the tiny 1.3 liter Mazda RX-8 and the 3.5 liter Nissan 350z/fairlady and the 4.3 liter Ferrari 430. The EPA rates the Mazda at only 38 kilometers per gallon, the 350z at 40, and the Ferrari at 25. </blockquote>
