Both very good, but definitely the first.

Also, the fact that they aired that during the USA vs. England match in the World Cup makes it that much better.

Both are good. The first one just because it's fucking hilarious, the second one because I like the car. The Ferrari one is easily the best though. The sound of a formula car in a tunnel? There is absolutely nothing better.

wow. looks like some people really took my comment personally. Since when did I say I like japanese cars the most? Never. It is european cars which are the best. Seriously, would you rather have a corvette over a Porsche GT2? And since somebody mentioned japanese cars, yes the Nissan GT-R, impreza, and evo, are all, in my opinion, nicer and better than any american car.

My advice: Go watch some top gear.

i personally agree american cars are horribly made and top gear shows that when they show the corvette the body is pretty much plastic

people love corvettes in europe since their aren't a lot of them. the zr1 might have plastic on it to make it light. everything on that car is carbon fiber if it doesn't have to be another material. The skirts, splitters, dashboard, parts of the steering wheel and a lot of other things are all carbon fiber. They're so nice in person.

the engine sounds from that commercial were pure sex.


The first two were stupid. It sounds like something colbert would say. "America is freedom and cars" though i can understand it being appropriately funny during the world cup match.

FUCK.



jeremy clarkson owned a ford GT, richard hammond has a mustang and a dodge challenger, and james may really likes cadillacs. except the cts-v which he thinks is pointless and too fast.

the top gear crew LOVE american muscle cars.

that said, you sound like a fucking idiot who learned every bit of information he has about the automotive world by watching re-runs of top gear. id take a vette over a gt2 ANY DAY. the vette has like twice the power, mountains of torque, and isnt a gutted and stripped out track car that cost twice as much as the original version. it also looks cool. unlike the porsche, which looks like a VW bug with a wing and a widebody kit.

why would GM name a car challenger, when there was a space shuttle that blew up by the same name?

first one is probably more american, especially because of when it was aired. The second commercial is way better for me though. Mainly because I love space and chevys.

Also of course europeans build the absolute best cars. Some american cars are still really sick though and both of these cars are examples of that.

bottom line is gt2 vs zr1 most people are taking gt2 its an amazing car just as fast as the vette if not faster. If someone is looking at buying a gt2 im sure they are also looking at the other casr that are on the top of the car world today, zr1, gt2, 458 italia, lambo, etc and the zr1 is definatly the most unappealing out of all of those

GM didn't ever name a car challenger (as far as I know.) If the space commercial was for the challenger I would say it would be a little ironic, but it's not.
