the Stig... how fast will it go? - Page 2 - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

truth411 · 03-18-2009, 05:32 PM

I am going to be optimistic and say 1:26.4 I heard the top gear guys mention that there is usually about a 4 sec difference between dry and wet conditions when driveing the same car. Also did any body notice that when the VXR8 time was posted on there board, that is was barley only a fraction off of the PORSCHE 911 TURBO!!!!!!!! which also ran in the wet. After seeing that I had a big Grin on my face.

Edit: ahhh what the hell, I say 1:24.2

i bet 1:25...i have faith in the revised version on the camaro.

Xanthos · 03-19-2009, 10:48 PM

I bet 0:55.

Hey, it could happen!

I doubt you'll ever see it run the TG track since it's now not coming here... but, I guess, stranger things have happened (the Challenger was never run either).

From what Im reading the UK should get an allotment, it probably wont be untill curent orders and the initial dealer deliveries are done, but it should still hit the UK.
I've run across a few posting that even have it as a right hand drive.

Does the Mustang sell in Europe?
It would be a shame if they didn't drive the Camaro...:(

Camaro Lives On · 03-20-2009, 03:10 PM

GT500 did it in 1:30:00 in the dry, so I'd say about 1:27:50. Just a guess.

they had the camaro at the paris auto show in the fall... i'd assume they're still sending some over

Mr Twisty · 03-20-2009, 10:41 PM

Rumor mill said they were going to send some over for testing. Was supposed to be finished by production start.

The Mustang sells plenty - it's cheap and has a ton of kit. However, it still has the steering wheel on the wrong side, so it'll never be "popular".

They'll drive the Camaro; but it won't be this year.

camaro is the same car as the vxr8, and thus will run a very similar time.
