I dunno, guys. I liked the review.
Sure, what they compared it too wasn't really too fair, but I'm not going to complain about that. I was happy just to see the car in action!

I just saw that Top Gear used the automatic version of the Camaro on Top Gear. Which means they were missing out on more power and a lighter car! I bet the manual would be faster than the Maloo. LOL

The guys on top gear from day 1 of the 5th gen have hated it. The reason that they compared the two was the displacement. Really though the AMG has a hand built engine.... i mean the LS3 cant compare to a motor built by germans, specifically because its got much more engineering to it. But what ever helps the brits sleep at night then so be it. Id rather have the AMG so i could sell it and put the extra money into a camaro and destroy it in every aspect of the track. How about they compare that and the CTS-V..... yeah now then they'd have a fair comparison from a price tag point of view.... But really at least they finally put the Maro on the show.

Here's a copy and paste. I think they used 'D' during the testing unfortunately. I'm not sure if you're familiar with the CTS-V. The auto tranny in the Camaro is the CTS-V auto tranny's little cousin. With that said the auto in the CTS-V outruns the manual to 60 mph (.3 sec), 100 mph (1 sec.), and around the Nurburgring!

All things considered I think the camaro did pretty well here. Clearly a car with 125hp advantage is likely to win. It's time wasn't even that bad. If you watch the video and see the cars that were faster you'll see it did quite well. They pretty much all had more HP and the "truck" also drops a few pounds to help it in the speed department.
