If you look closer, they're both power sliding thru the corner, they weren't trying to stay between the lines. A split second later the Camaro was probably close to the same spot as the Merc

top gear doesnt necessarily 'hate' american cars, it all depends on what they are comparing it to....

knowing top gear and the presenters.... im pretty sure they will have negative things to say about the car... but they are a world apart from the one we live in.

It doesn't need to be, just go on www.finalgear.com and download the show. It will be online to download early Sunday evening in the US. Usually takes about 2 hours after it finishes airing in the UK. It will be Season 15, episode 3. Just make sure you have uTorrent downloaded first. Just download the SD version, as you will have it much faster.

i know they are power sliding, especially the camaro, but i was saying that IF their goal was to stay between the lines around the curve, then the benz doesn't appear to be doing a good job of it. but you're probably right, the camaro most likely ends up in about the same spot a couple seconds later

Smack bang in the middle of it, 8pm UK time. I'll be streaming it live via my UK VPN so I can watch it in the UAE.

I dont know, my Camaro holds up just fine with turns. Euro cars are trash... sorry. All they are is an engine wrapped in paper (might as well be when you hit a tree, wall, or another car because you're screwed). I will give the Germans a +1 for most of their Volkswagen models as they're pretty damn sturdy. The rest are garbage.

Bottomline... I wouldn't rule out American muscle at all in any department.

Jeremy admitted to loving the Challenger, Cadillac, and the Corvette.

Comon Dude, I LOVE American muscle. Nothing can come close in my opinion. But you can't honestly say that Beemers, Mercs, Audi's, Porsche's..etc are trash?! I mean I know they're expensive..but COME ON! lol
