Yeah, I saw that as well. Too bad they don't seem to understand the difference between leaf springs and a live axle (like a typical pickup truck), and a transverse composite leaf spring with double wishbone suspension.
Usually Clarkson & Top Gear are pretty funny and informative, but they really seem to just not "get it" when it comes to the Corvette.
I also find it highly suspicious that the C6 Corvette with 400hp & 400 lb-ft of torque lost a drag race to an NSX that weighs almost as much, yet has only 290hp and 224 lb-ft of torque. My old RX-7 would walk on stock NSXs with ease, yet I always lost to well driven C5 Corvettes.
