Phwoar..... yes, yes, yes, yes


I'd have that over any BMW purely for the muscle and "don't see many of them" factor

I really like them, too.

Unfortunately I also like going round corners

The new Camaro is supposedly quite well sorted in the handling department, by American standards at least, but it will still feel quite big and heavy on smaller UK B-roads. The biggest sickener by far though is how much less it costs to buy over there than it does over here - think the same amount in dollars as in pounds, and then take off a few grand

£20k in the US for a 400+ HP 6.2 V8 with Brembos, 20s, LSD. Amazing.

Not sure if it's built with the same quality as the US Ford's, but i was watching an old Top Gear yesterday and Jezza was reviewing a Ford F150 pickup.

It was actually RHD converted and it had the same engine as the GT, but he hated it....as per usual. The thing that surprised me was the interior and how badly built it was. The plastics didn't match in colour and there was hardly a bit that fitted well at all.

Interior part is about 5.40 on this vid...

I'm sure the new cars have came along way from the F150, but i'm yet to see an American car with proper quality inside.......would still love a Camaro or Challenger.

Soft top Camaro looks fantastic, but dont think any of the cars are suited to the UK.
