Oh...see what happens when you don't actually read the article?...

:p

Quite often, I don't have the time to read the articles. I'll make sure the link is good and move on. Of course, if it's immediately Camaro related, I have all the time in the world.

Right? Somehow, if it relates to the Camaro, or the Vette...suddenly, the world slows down, and gives me the time I need to read completely through, twice...

I for one am not impressed with the opinions of this show (even though the z06 got top honors) I like the ideas ,but , I am not into a show that thinks you have to pay 300 thousand or more to be cool or have a badass ride! Point to the driver : I drove a 2005 gto for over a year with 400 hp and test drove a 07 gt500 and was more impressed with them than my friends dads f430 . don't get me wrong but when it comes to hp and fast cars I actually like the idea of the big three over any 300 grand ond over plastic death trap.
the feed was good but IMHO I will take it with a grain of salt to the testers here in the good ole USA.

They say themselves they love to make fun of American cars. Just like we say everything the brits make leaks oil, and they reason they don't make computers is because they haven't found a way to make it leak oil also. Poking fun at things is part of life. Doesn't mean it's right, doesn't mean it's wrong. They point out pretty much everything about the car good and bad, and give their personal opinions on each car. I don't agree with some of their opinions but a lot of it I do. I just life the show and Fifth gear because the hosts are hilarious.

I just watched a clip of Clarkson reviewing the Viper SRT-10. I thought he'd hate it for sure. Had a couple barbs thrown at it, but I was amazed when he said he loved it despite its shortcomings and that The Stig was probably having more fun in it than the Enzo. As pointed out, he loves the Corvette Z06 too. He even said he liked the 3rd gen Camaro a lot. A whole lot. Hammond has a lime green Charger, as well. Can't remember if it was a Hemi or a 440.

*Mr. Wyndham* · 10-03-2007, 11:24 AM

Hammond has a Charger, too?!?! I knew he had a blue Mustang GT390...but, hey - they do like Americars, they do!

Power Junkie · 10-03-2007, 12:31 PM

I think he sold the Charger and bought a Mustang, i'm sure i saw his Charger for sale a while back

*Mr. Wyndham* · 12-07-2007, 10:32 AM

Which we all know is pretty much a GTO

.

And guess what, Clarkson LIKED IT

I think they wait until a rainy day to test GM vehicles . . . not a long wait in England though
