^^^^^ I guess no one will complain about the Tiff being a bad driver anymore. Ha!

Fact of the matter is, our Camaro's arent the best handlig cars out there. Its not the end of the world folks.....all that can change in due time :chevy:

True! Or that he bashes all things American. He chose a ZO6 over a Ferrari 599 and a 911 Turbo! That is something Clarkson would NEVER do!

I think the Camaro did fine in the video. It did still win. It was the L99 compared to the SRT-8. Tiff even said he was pleasantly surprised...

I'm assuming he's driving the L99 A6 because of the HP rating and the fact I never saw him shift gears.
Either way, it still beats an SRT-8 around a race track.

It was. Look at the steering wheel in the vid. You can see the tap-shifters on the back. It was the A6. As you stated it still did beat a SRT-8:)

When Fifth Gear gave the actual review of the car a few months back it was the LS3

A little off topic but, how much were those wheels and tires if you dont mind me asking? I really like them. I'm looking at the TSW Nurburgrings and TSW Interlagos to suit my CGM SS

The Nurburgrings were $1400.00. They're 20x9.0 and 20x10.0.

The front tires are the stock 245s. Out back I'm running Nitto 555R drag radials (305/35/20s).

these cars arent meant for tracks like this.
im not a racer or anything but my v6 freaks me out on turns. honestly my brothers silverado feels safer. lol. but on straight roads muscle cars are super fun to drive. just wish they didnt weigh as much

I love the aerial shots these shows provide...Camaro's figure is like nothing else on the road. :drool:

Nah, he is a good driver.

Top Gear is a big budget, entertaining show. Fifth Gear is a lower budget, but more informative show. If you want to know more about the vehicle, watch Fifth Gear.

That was better than the 2 mins Top Gear spent talking about the Camaro and then comparing it to the Mercedes E63 AMG:facepalm:

Just a couple more vids because they were cool

Did someone say Fifth Gear?


Here's EXACTLY how my Challenger makes me feel! :headbang:
