Let's not beat around any shrubbery with this: Top Gear magazine has reviewed the Corvette ZR1, and the quotes you need to know are, "The dynamics are better than an Aston DBS...," and "...[M]ake no mistake. What we have here is one of the truly great supercars."

Of course, there are caveats: it looks like a Corvette, the interior doesn't match those of its supercar rivals and the steering could use more feel. The latter quip is why you get other critiques like "...you don't get the precision of a 599." To have a UK magazine critique a Corvette against a 599 is probably the opposite of the insult it might appear to be on the surface. But don't take our word for it, follow the link and read for yourself how the ZR1 has "the performance and the chassis to match an SLR 722." It's not a bad way to start the week...

Looking for a place to espouse your knowledge about cars? Wikicars.org might be for you. Set up similarly to Wikipedia.org, the site solicits contributions from the online community on topics ranging from hybrid vehicles to new cars and everything else automotive. Users can contribute and edit others' information, and in order to avoid incorrect or offensive material from appearing on the site, it thankfully has its own editor/wiki police officer.

While the site technically opened for business yesterday, it was set up in June and accumulated about 1,000 entries from commercial sites such as AutoData Solutions and CarsDirect.com before its official launch. Current articles include new car reviews, such as the headliner review of the Lexus RX 350 (pictured).
