Default Top Gear Test the ZR1- Cadillac CTS-V and a Challenger ....picture preview....

Top gear is filming a show in the US.( West Coast ) Bonneville... GM was nice enough to lend them a 09 ZR-1 corvette and an 09 Caddy cts-v. Both cars supercharged and very impresive. Neither of which are available yet. They also brought in a brand new dodge challenger. The show had to buy the Challenger because chrylser was too cheap to loan them one. They were shipped to San Franciso, flogged, then driven to Reno for some safety equiment.....heres a few pics...






Oh if only they handed these out to the public.........Emissions Exemption Sticker.....

I love that ZR1 and the CTS, sucks that Chrysler wouldn't loan 'em a Challenger, Mopar sucks anyway.

Top Gear needs to borrow cars which places them as test subjects, no longer able to be sold for a profit?

So while GM isn't losing a penny since those 2 are likely slated to be scheduled magazine test cars, you think its odd Chrysler didn't? Maybe they already had the test samples and Top gear didn't want one then.

I don't think this statement says anything about Chrysler. I'd rather see fewer reviews which would mean less lost sales, and possibly a cheaper price to me the general public.

I highly doubt them doing a test car or two more would impact the sticker price more than a couple dollars

Oh yeah, I FUKING LOVE THE ZR1!!!!

Pics are from one of the guys on a local forum who got to add the safety equipment to the cars and flog the piss out of them.
