They've been stretching the results out over 3 days with the winner to be revealed tomorrow I believe.

ZL1-1LE is #5. They mentioned the rough ride. I didn't have time to watch the others yet.

Chevy has a lot of awesome cars out yet somehow it still ended up being a bad year for Chevy. 2 cars in and 7th and 5th. Too bad they had a failure with the C7 Z06 at BDC, it probably was a top 3 car, maybe 1st.

It's a 70K car that punches out cars 3x that.. Isn't on the ragged edge of a tune.. Replacement parts are incredibly cheap compared to ~some~ other mfg cars. The TCO of a ZL1 1LE is relatively mild given what you can do with it. I don't get some rag publishers.. They're the kind that would ding a Top Fuel dragster for having shite gas mileage. "We liked that this car can do 0-60 in 0.7s and a quarter mile in 3.7 @ 300mph.. But, it consumes 11G of fuel a second -- So, 12th place" |

Having 2 cars that even made the top 10 is saying a lot about what GM is doing right now. Most manufacturers are even lucky to have 1.

They'd take a Porsche that's significantly slower in most measure but since the balance and comfort is there, good enough, it's the BDC. I originally thought that a "Driver's Car" was a performance oriented car that a "Driver" (Not a granny) would like to get in and push. Remember in the ZL1 review, he pointed out that the SS 1LE was a "Serious Driver's Car". Well, the ZL1 1LE is a SERIOUS drivers car so... Oh well. I still think Chevy builds the best non-exotic performance cars out there, bar none. No magazine will shake that. |

Aside from the subjective winners, do we know the Randy Probst lap time ranking?

I would hardly say "chevy had a bad year" simply because some magazine didn't pick the car as their favorite.
