Top Gear Power Laps
Since the Camaro is American, I can expect a little bashing of the Camaro on Jeremy Clarkson's part when he gets his car on one, however, I am still interested in seeing what the Camaro will run around the Top Gear track. My guess is 1:29. Here's the current times:

he doesn't hate american cars, he likes to talk up on both the upside and down of them. and to be honest the euro thrashers are a bit more civilized. he loved the Vette on the track he only took issue once he drove it on a street. Some of it he plays up for the european audience

I guess 1:28 MIGHT be possible. I believe the Roush Mustang has 430hp and it did it in 1:28. The Mustang weighs less, but the Camaro has IRS so that should help with the handling. I can't remember if the track was wet or not either.

No, Jeremy Loves Camaros! I bet he's first in line for ordering a Camaro. He tried really hard to by a Camaro in the Summer special and found one. It was an 86 RS but he really wanted a the 00 RS but couldn't get the guy to sell it to him for 1000 bucks. He loves Camaros. I'm telling you. He loved the Vauxhall V8 w/ the new zeta suspension, he will adore the Camaro SS. If I were the producers at Top Gear, I'd get an SS for him to test this year, and when the Z/28 comes out they do it again the following year. They will test the new Camaro in some form or fashion on that show.

No better than 1:27. but, Jezza nor "The Stig" would be bothered with such a "mullet-head" peace of tripe. It's bollocks, after all. : - (

Vauxhall VXR8 1.31.3
500 HP G8, on a Wet Track. So a 400 HP Camaro on a Dry track will be a similar time, maybe a hair quicker. |

Their attitude toward American cars really bugged me until I realized that if it was my show, I'd talk sh!t about British cars. Its all part of the joke.
