so how fast do you think the Stig can get the 2010 Camaro SS around the Top Gear test track?

i think it can pull off a 1:28

carsismeZ06 · 03-16-2009, 06:53 PM

Yeah, I'm guessing 1:28, 1:29, 1:30 range. I assume you mean the SS. He could review the V6..Don't know why, but it's possible!

Hoping for faster than the Roush.

so... 1:27 ish

bouncertime · 03-16-2009, 07:07 PM

They will probably make him drive it in the rain so he gets a lousy number.

*Camaro_Corvette* · 03-16-2009, 07:07 PM

Hopefully really fast.

well i said SS in the OP...

they usually only test the high-end performance versions of cars with multiple trims (at least with cars like this). then again, they might send over a V6 as well, just to make a statement about what it can do as well

I'd like to see base versus base and top versus top out of camaro, challenger, and stang... I realize the gt500 would be in there but it'll keep gm on their toes for the near future

I'd like to see the regular gt in the mix too just to see where it stands.

It's not like it doesn't rain more unexpectedly in england than it does here in florida...

The Vauxhall VXR8 (G8 GXP) lapped the track wet in 1:31, the Monaro VXR (05-06 GTO) did it in 1:30. Both of which are faster times than the 350z, btw (1:32)

. So I'm gonna guess the Camaro will do 1:29.5-1:30 wet, 1:28 dry.

Hopefully GM will send them one of each for testing.
