CCCUK - Surrey Region was invited to provide some Corvettes for the Show going out this Sunday showing the new Z06.

The Stig managed the fantasitic lap time of 1m22.4s and was impressed as was Clarkson, however, as usual he was not so kind on its around town habits, so no change there. Still a scorching time for the price.


Whilst there we saw a possible new presenter sizing up the chair.



Will post more pics later

Just realised that the time is quicker than the Murcielago, Zonda and Koenigsegg. Only a 10th slower than the Ferrari 360CS and Porsche GT3 RS. link

Ought to have been faster than both... did they test it in the wet or something?

Hopefully your further pictures will feature the new presenter in full "jeans and a jacket" uniform for that authentic TG style statement!
