Fifth Gear - Dodge Challenger SRT8
For those of you who dont know what Fifth Gear is, its and imitation of Top Gear with less humor and more accuracy in the review. Basiclly Top Gear judges a car from producer induced nonsense that has nothing to do with how a car drives. Happily, in Fifth Gear they actually review a car and add occasional humor. Anyway, Im suprised on this review. They PRAISED it.
Enjoy 
BTW I still like Top Gear better because its funnier

I kinda like 5th gear, particularly the guy they had doing the challenger review. Look up his review of the Monaro (GTO)

4.9 is consistent....the best is 4.7 but your average will be 4.9 with the auto. Dont complain te camaro auto is suppose to do the same thing but I am betting slightly better numbers. 4.8 consistent sounds good to me for the camaro auto,

It's a great looking car with a lot of presense... notice it was all filmed out in the country though - not near anything that would make it look like a tank? :P

Top Gear is designed to be both entertaining and informative. Because of this, Top Gear isn't reviewing Camrys and Civics. Top Gear reviews top-end luxury and performance cars. I'm sure Fifth Gear is more informative and less biased, but it's really hard to knock the success of Top Gear.
