Fifth Gear Web TV Edition 6 - Chevrolet Camaro
 

Fifth Gear's Vicki Butler-Henderson test drives the V6 Camaro and has much good things to say. Some of the cheekier comments include:

"When you're sat behind the wheel you can't help but grin"
"It's naughtier than the normal "yank tank"
"You'll get just as much attention as you would in a Ferrari."




Pretty cool video.

Cool nice find

thanks for the post

2:10 into the video if you aren't willing to wait.

Best line .... in a English Chic accent "It's naughtier than the normal "yank tank" "

Nice...

LOL I got a laugh out of the Yank Tank comment too.

"You'll get just as much attention as you would in a Ferrari."

I like that line.

Those roads sure look fun!

Cool!

LOL Yank Tank....

A big F'n Cheshire Cat Grin is what I had on my face when I first test drove the LT. Ill be driving my own any day now...

everytime I watch this woman test drive cars its raining lol

SHE's HoTT

Yay! Something I posted made it to the front page!

those roads are a 3 mile circuit proving grounds. top gear goes there a lot.

I think she peed herself when she got all 4 wheels off the ground. It was pretty funny to hear her giggle when she did that...lol

5th gear sucks, they will always live in Top Gear's shadow

I think currently 25,000 British Pounds = 41,614 dollars
Wow, for a V6.

Great find! Top Gear rules though!

It cost's about $2500-3000 just to ship the car and then you end up paying the extra tax. Everything cost's more in England. Their wiring shouldn't take a week to change since it use to cost me about $200 to have it done in the UK.

Nothin like watching a woman enjoy a muscle car...even if its a V6 its no punk.

It takes a week to "totally rewire" the lights?? sounds like a lucrative business he's got there. love the chick's smile, but i think she says "sportier" not "naughtier", hard to tell w/ the accent, still love a girl who can thrash a car!!

Besides rewiring the car is there not more restrictive emission standards in EU? Maybe thats what takes so long for his "service". Also, watching a girl enjoy a V6 makes me wonder what my g/f will do when I let her drive my SS/M6 arriving on rail next week :P hahha

that is of course.... after I have had much driving time behind the wheel and laying some rubber down after it is broken in :D Wooooo! I cant wait to buy my first set of new back tires lolol

Yeah i thought i was the only one who caught that she said sportier

have you ever been to England? I don't know how top gear manages to find so many clear days honestly...

Wow an English women grinned from an American Car, Good job GM!

BLIMEY! Camaro had me wrigglin out of me knickers! I'm likely to have another go at that philly!

@Hanzo: I think currently 25,000 British Pounds = 41,614 dollars
Wow, for a V6.

I live in the Netherlands a 1000 miles from Engeland and we have to pay 120,000 dollars just for the V6 !! And still I wanna buy the Camaro V8 Convertible that will cost about 140.000 dollars and that even with the strong Euro ...just beause of our outrages TAXES! :( So GM don't let me wait to long..please

I liked how you made sure to say "hood" instead of Bonnet.

You must be very very wealthy then..I would spend your money on a Ferrari or a Lamborghini... Why pay that much for a car when you could buy others? Strike that, you probably have a collection of those cars already :).. Have fun..

I'm an English chick and i cannot wait to get my hands on some American muscle :p and i will be grinning for a very long time, i'm sure.
I LOVE muscle cars.

I'm pretty sure she does mumble "sportier" - though it is hard to tell. Either way - she's right!


I think they have great post-production touch-ups lol!

.....and Top Gear is about the best show on TV right now.

Don't you guys get sick of the stereotype that ALL American cars CANT handle and ALL American cars are only meant for straight lines?

God that aggravates the heck outta me...:mad0260:


Whatever, long live the king! :chevy:

Im pretty sure its just the lights/front & rear bumpers that are different standards. The smog regulations in the US are definitely tighter. Hence the reason why most foreign motors make a tad bid more power liter for liter. (I know that's a bold statement, but relatively speaking its the truth)

The V6 sounded pretty good under throttle, I wonder what it sounded like from the inside? I'm a little surprised she didn't mention the blind spots, cheap interior, etc. that everyone else seems to gripe on.

@Supermans: Hmm unfortunaly not rich! Just USA-carlover. A Ferrari will cost about $500.000 so compared to that the Camaro is still value for money overhere!
You can also buy the Corvette ZR1 for as little as $300.000. :(

Did you get the 'big fat juicy 20inch tires'? *grin*

The conversion today at 12:48am is $41,475.10 (dollars for 25,000 pounds)

Dude, that was a sick find!

"You will buy this car with your heart"

Lovely comment. I know that is what's driving me to purchase one

I still love this video. It would be nice to see a review of a lightly modded v6...
