That was the entry-level Vette. I remember which episode you were talking about. Hammond drove it, and when they got back to the studio -- that's all Clarkson could say was "Leaf Springs?!?"
BUT! They did the Z06, too. And Clarkson absolutely loved it! Except for two things: He claimed it was undriveable on the road, and the Nav computer defaulted to Fast Food joints. "Typically American".
Other than that, he went from 0-160 in 5th gear, he outran fire, he skidded the crap out of it, and compared it to an exotic, highlighting the double in price that the European car demanded for the same performance.
