The funniest award for 2015 Corvette Z06 yet?

There are plenty of on and off line automotive publications out there.  Finding one that can offer objectivism in their journalistic attempts is typically a very difficult task.  However, finding the opposite of such is as easy as 1, 2, 3.  Certainly, there is no surprise that one of the latter would be nominating the newest Z06 for anything besides the embarrassment or failure of the year. 

However, one publication decided to take the predictable route of cluelessness with a great twist: the irony and comedy of this nomination is outright off the laughing scale!!!

Here is the biggest irony, the aforementioned publication's name: TOP SPEED.  Now, what is the single specification that neither +General Motors  or the mouthpiece in chief, +Tadge Juechter failed to disclose for both, the base Stingray and Z06 while insinuating that Z06 is the "fastest production Corvette ever"?  THE TOP SPEED!!!  Now, seeing someone calling themselves TOP SPEED while awarding a car that has its top speed permanently missing is beyond both stupid and funny.

There is more to it and certainly, the ignorance of this fine publication truly shines, just like the Nurburgring lap time and roll races do for Z06.  Apparently, this Top Speed firmly believes that the car that is currently available to the buying public can do 10.95@127mph quarter mile run and thus, should be the top choice?  Well, the problem here is that these are the figures supposedly recorded for the AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION Z06 which is not even available until 2015,yet somehow, these idiots used it for a 2014 car award?

Oh and yes, seems a little bit of a stretch to nominate a 2015 model year for a 2014 "performance" car of they year, doesn't it?  Hopefully, GM paid a lot of money for publishing this stupidity since God help us all if this is done of someone's free will and apparent lack of intelligence.

Nevertheless, the Z06 porker scoring award given out by TOP SPEED is right down hilarious.  Maybe Top Speed meant a "most overhyped and underperforming car of the year?".  Considering that even a race against a Toyota Prius may be a driver's race, hopefully, this is what that Top Speed really meant.
