What does bump mean??? The only thing top gear did with an fbody was test drive a V6 camaro. They declared it a dog and no worthy heir to the muscle car throne, DOH!!! They got a fricking six what did they expect!!!

They had a Monaro on the show once, but I've never seen any episodes with an F-Body.

Are you sure they tested the C5? They rarely test American cars. Only ones I've seen are the Charger, Crossfire, and Ford GT.

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???

guessed wrong, they named a Ford car of the year not too long, plus gm and ford let them have better versions of models we get here. Aston martin could be owned by Honda and it would still be smae old Aston martin. I think the whole purpose of the article was to say that a 6 cyl is a mockery of muscle which it is.

The charger video can be found at http://www.sleepy-fish.com/video_page.htm

They need to put one of the 427ci ZL1's up against a Lamborghini or some other overpriced ego-machine. I rather doubt that Top Gear would show some "run of the mill" 2-valver polishing off a "sophisticated" British/Italian motor.

I've got the Ford GT video, Crossfire, and Charger video. But I don't know how to host them.

While I agree it would be fun to see what happens, a Lamborghini however is not an overpriced ego-machine.
