Poor Clarkson...he's had too much fun making fun of American cars over the years....Is this one an exception?

You're right, Jason: The Camaro threatens them!

I want to challenge chevrolet. answer back to clarkson saying it will not be a good car.
I want them to challenge chrysler and ford for Top Gear to test the SS, mustang GT, and the challenger SRT8. Of course top gear would have to give the ok for this to happen. Have them come here to test them or send the cars over there to test them. typical tests...drag race, lap time, review interiors and options/features and normal road driving. clarkson drives the camaro, hammond in the challenger, may in the mustang. what a great episode that would be.

BUT...too bad that probably wouldn't really appeal to the british audience. guess we'll have to wait for the american version to take a stab at it.

They'll get one and run it through their little course and some what come around on the car.

With an 8:20 initial 'Ring time they'll thrash it to death, mock something stupid about it, and say its a helluva handler.

I think he's funny. Like has been said they appeal to a British/Euro audience and so American bashing is well accepted. It's not like we've never bashed on them or even the French.

They live on a gloomy small island that depends on a current of warm water from our Caribbean and Eastern coasts just to be inhabitable. I think we can cut them a break on their humor.

American version = 50 Cent drives the Camaro, Eminem drives the Challenger, and Ice Cube takes a stab at the Mustang.

I'll be playing the role of guest homicidal maniac killing everything that moves on that episode.

Please look forward to it.

Shouldn't be a surprise as Top Gear makes it a point to bash anything American.

Yeah hats off to Austin Martin its not a cake walk to beat the best of the best. The Corvette is usually the favorite to win Le-mans for a good reason.
