Being British...and owning a Camaro (My first muscle car!)
The majority of Brits don't get 'yank cars' because they seem to have huuuge engines for not alot of power-this stems from the 60's and 70's, also 90% of British roads were built for horse and carts-they've just added tarmac over the years
This means that most our roads are narrow and windy, you need something light and manouvreable to have any sort of fun. Fuel price is the next big issue, it costs me the same to fill my motorcycle in UK as it does to fill my Honda Civic here in Canada!(winter car before you all start dissing me
)
I bought the Camaro expecting a big wobbly POS that didnt stop or go very well, because obviously Clarkson is a demi god and what he says goes
Imagine my surprise
It fekkin rocks, my brother came over in the summer (he's a Golf nut, has a hot R32) and I let him drive it......he fekkin loves it to
Lifestyles are a big difference to, I remember someone posting here, or another forum moaning that it didnt come with a solid rear axle (wtf) and was then surprised when I said I'd never driven something with a sold rear axle (apart from a lorry!) Horses for courses, and the Camaro is one horse I wanna throw around narrow country roads scaring old grannies guffawing loudly at the popping on over run
Well, that would happen if I wasn't selling it-shipped it back to UK for someone else to be converted to all that V8 goodness....they'd better bring out the Z287 thats all I say!!
