Nice vid man, thanks! They chose some of my favorite songs in the vid too. They are great cars, just a bit slow. Im scared the 2010 Camaro debut will be very similar.

Hahaha I love how most of the other shows they rag on american cars and they are eating up and leg humping the biggest hog of the new generation pony cars.

exactly,the new camaro just doesn't flow to me. I love how the challenger throws back to the basic bodylines of the 70's. the camaro looks like it tried to do the same, but didn't quite get there. there are things I think dodge could have done different, but far less than chevy needs to do.

Looks so good, but I'm sure it's terrible from every other angle. The suspension does seem like mush.

you definatly see more of the classic lines in the challenger than you do the camaro.

camaro is a modern retro, not full on retro, thats why it looks like they stopped short. and top gear loved the new mustang when they reviewed it a while back, just because of the way it looks compared to the "euro boxes" and the sound of it, not for the "power" of the v8 tho

Cool vid, and awesome he got air! The Camaro wasn't intended to be a complete retro car.

Give it to Jeremy Clarkson....he'll rip it to shreds. Richard Hammond would like it, though.
And I agree...it desperately needs an aftermarket exhaust, lowering springs, better dampers, wider tires, and 625 hp.
