Bump means to the top of the line (I'm really hoping someone has a vid). It sounds just like something a Brit would do. Test a base model fbody to bash American cars. Why would they not test a V8? I guess they are mad \at the Americans due to the fact that Ford and Gm own Aston Martin, Range Rover, and Jaguar.
Lotus is owned by Proton too

"oh i wanna see the v6 camaro! that would be great"
It was a written article. Go to there site and search for Camaro and voilla, you can read it. I have heard they did test a Vette. Does anyone have the Charger vid??? Or any of the other American vids for that matter???
