Camaro SS In Top Gear USA (Season 2 Episode 8) - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

So I just watched that episode on TV. Towards the end of the show, the 3 guys try to outrun the Stig, who happens to be driving a black Camaro SS. That SS looked and sounded badass on TV. Does it belong to anyone on this website? I'm wondering if it was a stick shift or auto and what other mods it had. I hope you guys know what I'm talking about.

I say its an auto 2SS RS cause stig never took his hands off the steering wheel if it had been a manual he would not always have his hands on the steering wheel

my .02 cents. I fast forward though cause i hate that show but for you i suffered though it. AND that was epic how stig handled the camaro epic driveing

P.S L99 400 HP

P.S.S He also had stiblitrack off and traction control off cause he was SMOKEING them tires sides it made it more fair for everone else. AND it made for better tv i know the camaro can handle better then that he was drifting on purpose

My guess was auto also, but maybe he didn't need to change gear since it was a short track? I tried to see if there are paddleshifters on the steering wheel but I couldn't see them
