He's just salty because the new Z06 Vette destroyed many of the previous lap times held by European cars (i.e. Porsche, Mercedes, Aston Martin, Jaguar, BMW, Lamborghini, Ferrari, etc.) on the fabled Nurburgring....that's okay, he is unfortunate--y'know, British. :lol1:

He is complaining about driving it on a road? Has he ever driven a British built Jaguar? They are the most ill handling vehicles I have every driven. I thought about trading my wife's in, but after only one year it has already lost 50% of it's value.

All of the Jaguar I've driven have been very balanced and light on their feet compared to other luxury cars especially the XJR. I haven't driven an X-Type though so I don't know how those drive.

The main problem people have with the Corvette is that it's not big but drives like it. Easy to overlook for me though.

Light on their feet is the problem. The ride is to soft. You can tell that they are tuned for the slow wondering roads in London. Not like the German tuned cars. I want a sports coupe or a sports sedan Luxury or otherwise to be responsive to the road, and be able to take the power that they give these things. I for one do not want a high HP EuroLux car to feel like the soft pillowie ride of a Cadillac.
