Top gear 2010 Camaro

[evilzee28]

Top Gear are filming a road test on the new 5th Gen Camaro this week. I was asked by the guy that runs the "Classic Camaro Club UK" if I would be interested in also letting them use my '69 Camaro. He had been approached by them to supply a 1st gen to be used as a comparison against the 2010 car. The car they're testing is red with black stripes, so mine would have fitted the bill as it's painted the same.

Typically the timing's wrong . The Muncie is out of the mine having some upgrade work done, just waiting on parts from the US. To be honest I don't think I'd have done it even if the car was up & running. Top Gear never shows American cars in a good light no matter how good they are & of course you have no idea how it's gonna be edited, whether it's to poke fun or not. All the same, I'm sure that that my car would have put in a very good performance if it were used on track, as that's what it's been built for.

If things are edited right then you get your 15 minutes of fame, if they edit it in a bad light you end up looking a chump for the rest of your life. I can make myself look a chump very easily on my own

It'll be interesting to see what Clarkson makes of it, what ya reckon, will he like it or slag into it?
