Vette Videos: Callaway Corvette vs RUF 911 Porsche vs Jeremy Clarkson

To start the Callaway portion of the video, Top Gear’s Jeremy Clarkson gets the back end out about 45-degrees on the first turn. After dissing the stock suspension and brakes inability to cope with the added horsepower from the Callaway twin-turbo engine, Jeremy tries to dial in the Corvette. He doesn’t provide any info about the Callaway, it appears to be an ‘87 model which probably didn’t yet have any suspension or wheel/tire improvements. What the car is very good at is bringing the back end around, which if you’re not used to, can be unnerving, to say the least.
