  • I sold my sti for a camaro and what a mistake. This car sucks more dick then Whitney Huston looking for blow. I'm going to put a deposit down for the 2013 mustang gt, hopefully it doesn't disappoint. Sounds good on paper do far.

  • corvette has irs in 1955

  • @ThePodpie *had

  • Wow.... an actual review? Thankfully its a real one as opposed that sad excuses for a review on top gear.

  • I appreciate the Camaro for what it is; a big-engined, relatively inexpensive muscle car. It is a fun car that a lot of people can afford. It is perhaps the most ugly car on the road though. Every time I see one I have to wince. It is beyond hideous.

  • @TheMadTitan1776 it's all preference i guess becase most people think the camaro is badass looking

  • I love how he thinks that is "European Technology" When the Corvette has always had independent rear suspension

  • i live in canada. Never seen a camaro lol. Pontiac is very popular tho

  • Until the 2011 Mustang GT came out...

  • Thats crazy 40000 pounds for a camaro in america we only pay 35000 dollars england pays almost double!

  • One reason American Muscle Cars didn't have rear wheel rear wheel independent suspension is because American Highways tend to be wide and straight and up until very recently in good condition. We simply don't have as many windy narrow roads as they do in Europe (sorry West Virginia). And a much larger percentage of Americans could afford performance cars than Europeans. So a Car like the Mustang would be out of range to all but the rich in Europe but affordable to Americans.

  • Thats a Holden with chevy skin. Horaaaayyyy!! for Australia.

  • @AutoTechie20711 No it's not. You're thinking about the Pontiac GTO which is basically a Holden minus the LS2 engine and major drivetrain parts.

  • @p4horror Are you sure? I think its is infact a Holden or a Vauxhaul. Does it have rear Leaf springs? Because if it does then it is American. Other wise Aussie Muscle.

  • @AutoTechie20711 It has a US powertrain and Aussie suspension so its a combination of the 2 countries working together to create a bad ass car

  • @94jrose It might also be an Aussie chassis as well.

  • @AutoTechie20711, It was built on the ZETA platform. It is built by GM of America and Australia. it has an LS2 motor which is baselined at 421 bhp but is easily able to be modified to insane amounts, that is why we buy it here in America. No LS2 or LS1 or LS7 (etc) muscle car is ever stock in America, unless you want to keep it for the future value. They are very popular because of the wide array of aftermarket parts.

  • @notecages25 LS3 not LS2 for the manual version. L99 for the auto. Of course if you are looking into the vast array of aftermarket parts a lot are interchangeable but not all when it comes to heads, intakes and different reluctor wheel for the crankshaft.

  • @stuntmanmike111781, cool, I hear ya, some parts are hard to come by but the good thing about these cars is that there are tons of US companies that offer upgrades every year making it cheaper and easier for individuals in the states. I can still buy new upgrades for my stock L98 engine in my 1992 Camaro Z28 and hit 400 bhp with stock internals for example.

  • @notecages25 Camaro are built in Ontario Canada (even the ZL1) .

    Same as the 4gen (93-02) was built in boisbriand Quebec...

  • @80v8camaro, yes sir, just pointing out to another fellow youtuber that this particular model was built on a zeta platform developed in conjunction with Australia and US GM folks. Still built in Canada, just developed elsewhere:)

  • @notecages25 Yes I think they were developped with Holden GM in australia

  • I'm getting one in the next month or so and can hardly contain myself!

  • @gbinct Post a video of it.

  • @AutoTechie20711 I will, I have had it for almost 2 weeks. I'll try and get some good clips of it.

  • like his smile in 4:18

  • When Top Gear tested the Camaro, they compared it to an AMG Mercedes costing twice as much. I have so much more respect for Fifth Gear by using the similarly-priced Porsche Cayman as a benchmark. Top Gear = jolly good fun. Fifth Gear = consumer advice.

  • @marshknute yea i couldnt agree more top gear compares everything to a ferrari and finds the most dumbest thing to ridicule a fine car.then they try to create irony by finding dumb things they do like about the car makes me sick.there not even good drivers like this guy.

  • @marshknute

    The Camaro costs alot more outside of the U.S. There is massive import costs and are made RHD.

  • what's with the worm thing?

  • 03-04 Ford Mustang SVT Cobra had IRS. This Camaro is in fact NOT the first American muscle car to be equipped with IRS.

  • @kwltommy he said first camaro. not first american muscle car

  • @kwltommy whats IRS?

  • @chillywinter16 Independent Rear Suspension

  • Its funny how some americans talk crap bout their own cars yet here is a guy from europe actually enjoying it! lol

  • The camaro SS' suspension was tuned for comfort from the factory since the majority of owners wont track this car. But I think with tires, struts, sways, and coilovers will turn this into a true drivers car. And things youll normally mod will be lighter than their stock counter parts ie. exhaust, intake, headers, etc.

    I reckon you could shave two hundred pounds without touching the interior

  • wtf is fifth gear

  • Oh my fucking god! I love it!

  • What's the song at 2:52 ? Anyone please!! ><

  • "so! Lets open the taps than!"

  • Everyone knows it was a charger that was in the dukes of hazard ,so this guy is just speaking rubbish ,also that suspension was 100% GM designed and even impressed Ferrari so much they put it on the 458 .

    TOP GEAR just rapes this dry because they look in to what they are reviewing.

  • 3:43 hahaha

  • Basically a holden, which works fine for me, I'd like the car myself but it's just the steering wheel that kills it.

  • I,hate,ass,gear they burn down top gear,cool wall

  • Am I the only person who caught the Bumblebee reference?

  • that mans no duke unless he was in a dodge charger r/t but a old one with orange and the flag on top with a giant 01 number on the side of the car screaming YEEEE HAAWWWW!!!!

  • Yankee hot rod...lol Made in CANADA!

  • @joeydeon1234 1) you could never call it a crappy American car and what about Toyota,Hyundai & BMW made in the U.S. m8??

  • @balleTommy sometimes top gear gets to be a little to stupid...

  • "daisy duke watch out we're coming girl" silly brit.

  • Hello everybody, we are aspiring filmmakers who were finalists for this commercial contest as well, but did not win. Please take a look at our commercial, and tell us what you think! If possible, please SUBSCRIBE as well. We do't have much right now, but have a lot more projects to come! THANKS!!

    Please thumbs up this if you see the commercial and like it!

  • 3:43 thats what she said

  • Any idea what the song starting at 2:52 is please?

  • I test drove the 2011 Mustang and 2010 G37 before buying a 2ss Camaro. I just like the Camaro better. The Mustang and G37 were great also. I love my Red SS. I think Top Gear was fair in it's assessment (It's a big car) with great looks. It's fast and he drove the hell out of it. I only wish that the Firebird and Road Runner/Duster were still around. The Challenger is a sexy beast too! Go USA!!

  • anybody else find it funny that fifth gear is reviewing a 6 speed car? lol

  • bumblebee ftw!!!

  • Chevy Corvette had Independent rear suspension from 1963 on.

  • Wait....fifth gear? WTF is this shit.

  • I still wanna see Jeremy to drive it on top gear...

  • except... now ford did it better... and better looking too. i never liked the styling... reminds me of the retarded ed from ed ed and eddy back when it was still animated. "pet the chicken pet the chicken. duuuuhhhahahahahahha!" ill take the boss 302 over the camaro anyday. faster than an R8 at laguna seca? SOLD!!! i want one.

  • @slammedandshiny what about the new 2012 camaro zl1?

  • @moggar41 id still take the mustang. i just find the new camaros so ugly. plus if i get tired of getting beat i could always do some modifications. nobody said that u had to leave it the way u bought it. :D

  • @slammedandshiny fair enough! haha

  • @slammedandshiny i bet thats the only track in which the 302 is faster.

  • @1through9athrewz it was tuned for that track so u could be right. on rougher less predictable concrete the audi would smoke the mustang because of its all wheel drive and waaay advanced traction control. but a mustang is cheaper and the fact that it can outperform a supercar, even if its only in one aspect is incredibly impressive to me. they even managed to make it look aggressive. mustangs have been lacking aggression for decades...

  • this guy can drive...

  • fifth gear sucks money nuts...

  • why is he comparing this to a caymen

  • Brit going 'Yee-haah!!!" Love it! XD This guy can sure drift that bitch, too!

  • That guy wishes he was American :3

  • bumblebeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eee!

  • @smokemoar420 2011 was faster, but they wouldn't give me the price I wanted so now I'm rolling in an all white 2SS Camaro haha

  • I just traded my 06 Mustang Gt convertible for one lol I love it, fun car

  • im sorry but american cars put a smile on your face when you drive em

  • @RIEKSONE tell you hit a corner and hit a tree

  • @Jony80031 Show me the part in ANY part of this video of the camaro hitting a tree while taking corners you douche. Don't know if you noticed, but the past few years american cars such as the Saleen S7, Corvette (any Corvette), Various Mustangs, etc, have been not only keeping up with the euroeans in taking corners, but BEATING you douchenozzles. Give credit where it is due you dumb punk.

  • @Jony80031 S7 doesn't cost any more than the cars it competes against, Corvettes have proven themselves reliable for MANY years time after time, and the Boss 302 bested the BMW M3's time around the ring. These are things that can and have been proven time and time again. Any of these facts I have stated can be backed up with about 2 minutes of research unless you are as blind as you are stupid.

  • @Jony80031 Oh and by the way, next time you reply to me do it here instead of a lame personal message so everybody else can see how dumb you are kid.

  • @Jony80031 LuLz sorry doll, I happen to be straight. Please ask some other gay dude to suck you off. Oh, and BTW, I already told you to reply to me on here? Otherwise I will NOT reply. Wimp...

  • How can you be taken seriously ass a car reviewer if you cant even pronounce the name of the car your reviewing? Learn the name and use it correctly.

  • I'm sure I'll get some, "U mad?", but if Fifth Gear is attempting to be more entertaining by copying Top Gear, they apparently didn't notice that Top Gear is occasionally racist, not racist in every other sentence.

  • @MKBoyardee wtf are you talking about? If you're talking about poking fun at Americans, then: 1. Lighten the hell up, 2. I know this is difficult, but "racism" involves race. American is not a race. And if you weren't talking about that, I really have no earthly idea what you could have found remotely "racist" about this video.

  • @MaximusRelaximus I'm plenty "light" when it comes to humor. I can take a million jokes and put some out in return. I'm just saying that TG is noted for making racist/slightly offensive remarks. It seems that 5th gear is attempting to copy that, but overdoing it a bit.

  • This car is a Boss

  • Award winning Australian design and Australian Chasis around American Motor... Yet Australian's don't get a RHD? So disappointing... ah well, I'll stick with the HSV Clubsport R8.

  • at least we don't drive stupid right hand steer cars. btw im Canadian

  • It's so true, I smile and giggle everytime I drive it.

  • man this guy is an amazing driver

  • Woooow. Independant suspension and leather seats. Welcome to the 80s.

  • @Janusha are you done?

  • @BlueAvenue22

    Uh... Probably not. 

  • Oh look. A VXR8 in a different body.

  • @DeltaPhi79 Yeah, well "oh look, they are all OWNED by GM"...

  • @DeltaPhi79 yeah well the vxr8 is a great car? and so is this one? whats your point?

  • @kelson12345 The fact that this is apparently still a slower performer.

  • driving it like a yank is the only way to do it , what the fuck is this guy talking about

  • Needs rhd and australian government needs to fuck itself for charging 150k + 33% tax

  • "Chain smoking".... LMFAO!!!

  • American car makers still need to get away from making sports cars that are big and bulky, it almost seems like a cartoon of an old muscle car. The Camaro SS has a bargain powertrain 420 HP for $32,000 but imagine what it could do if they actually put that in a lighter chassis with a lower profile.

  • @McFly2015AD Then it wouldn't be a Camaro. You're missing the point.

  • @McFly2015AD You take the camaro 150+ MPH and see why they are big and bulky..... small lightweight cars feel like they are breaking apart at those speeds.

  • you know what it is. black and yellow

  • Well actually you don't see large bore engine in muscle cars like you used to (unless you talking Viper) but even the older Magnum,Wedge, Hemi engine had large bore sizes.

    The Camaro SS only uses a 6.2L (376 cid) v8 compared to the orignal versions like the 67-69 F body used 6.6L (396 cid) or 7.0L (427 cid) V8s.

  • If i remember correctly. The UK....and well almost all of Europe is more north than America. Calling them Yank Tanks is Geographically incorrect.

  • @iruleyounow LOL you must be from the good ole south! Best food ever!

  • here in Brasil they started bringing evo x's and camaro's, but I've seen 1 evo x and whole bunch of camaros.... and they are sold by the same price... camaros look nice i give you that.... but performance wise they are patetic compared to evo x's...

  • @Rafael849910 the evo X has less power than a camaro ss

  • @wes1137 but evo's are faster if there is a curve in the track.... it also can go off road... and it's extremely practical... you can put 5 people inside.... the thing is.... I love evos lol

  • @Rafael849910 Nobody cares about evo's on a camaro page. Gtfo. Evo's got beat with the ugly stick.

  • @Rafael849910 ya see, people who arent ENTHUSIASTS OR FANBOYS usually buy sports cars for popularity, opposite sex, recognition, social status, etc im sure u get the point.. I personally think its obvious to all that a mitsubishi sedan doesnt "cut the cheese" here in comparison to the looks of the camaro. u can argue that the camaro doesnt look as nice, but if u want a car that stands out the camaro is the obvious choice. thats y i think the avg. buyer would go4 it, n dats y i thnk its better

  • in the end, the sales determine which car is truly "better".

  • @1through9athrewz lol, no they dont. sales determine which car is easier to live with, as proven by history. i wouldnt really call that better.

  • @Rafael849910 what? no. camaro is faster and better than evox, maybe that's why they are sold more

  • pruis can go fuck itself

  • Looks Plastic to me - I hate the nose - keep it.

  • You know the sad part? I searched "Top Gear Camaro", and even youtube felt sorry enough for Fifth Gear to throw this at me.

  • my 2010 ss made me giggle lol

  • wowoo

  • say yank tank one more time n ill crack you in the jaw and make your accent even stupider

  • i hate you you do not even know any thing about cars evrybody wach top gear.

  • at least this show can appreciate a decent car. they don't automatically burn a car just because its from the States. I love Top Gear but they need to get over themselves a bit. America can build nice cars too!

  • say "yank" one more time, please

  • his giggling says it all, it reveals that he likes it, and how could a car enthusiast not enjoy american muscle !??

  • fifth gear is a bad version of top gear! top gear>all!

  • I wonder what they'd think about a henessy hp700...

  • fuck me it looks the same as mine :) 

  • spark my ass...

  • The Camaro is just too damn expensive for what it is offering...

    I mean 60K euro's is R8 money...

  • @rock3tcat in what world where you looking at base model is 30k and comes with a V8. 420 ish hp, V6 comes at 22k and it produces 312 hp. thats great price.

  • @rock3tcat dude i have a 2 ss camaro and if i could of afforded an r8 i would have gotten one.....not even on the same planet in price!

  • @krjuice1

    I was more talking about the price of this car after importing taxes over here, of course the SS is cheaper in North America where it is being produced,

  • @rock3tcat understood valid point

  • top gear > fifth gear

  • @slyccooper962 Gay much?

  • @slyccooper962 Grow some hair on your balls, stop playing video games, stop sucking on your mothers tit, get off youtube get of the computer and GET A LIFE! Don't like the show? DON'T FUCKING WATCH IT OR COMMENT! Simple. You 12 year dick riding Top Gear fan kids really make me sick.

  • @krocialblack Im not the one having a youtube temper tantrum now am i lmao

  • this show isnt as good as top gear

  • its kah-mare -oh...

  • Yank Tank? A bit of 'European' engineering?

    The next time the Germans attack and the Brits beg for help, I say they can suck it. We'll be too busy yodeling at Daisy Duke to come save their asses again.

    What an F-TARD!

  • @elderkis Yank Tank is not a derrogatory term. To be fair this car isnt even American, it's Australian. A rebadged Holden like the old Pontiac G8. In the past all american cars had pretty terrible suspension setups and low on sophistication. Now in recent years they have caught on.

    BTW, I doubt that a little car magazine show will determine if the US will engage in combat alongside the brits or not.

  • @edersiomoran bulllshit i dont care what country makes the parts its and american car all the way

  • @ARMONI555 Built in canada but the car is was designed in australia. Camaro is based on the Holden Chasis. As american as koahlas.

  • @edersiomoran where its built doesn't matter, there are so many cars designed some where else,,, its A CHEVY!!!! its as american as you can get. if we get into where something was designed or where something was built no car would be considered from their country. Your getting waaaay too much into semantics

  • @edersiomoran and where exactly is that much of a difference between canada and the u.s. ?? despite a lil more maple leaf flags here and there maybe :D no seriously, U.S and canada make america, plus as it's has already been said, you would be surprised where all the influx comes from as to building and designing cars. just check for example in what parts of the world bmw and mercedes has a lot of their prodcution and assembly done. greetings.

  • 2011 gt 5.0 vs. 2010 camaro ss

    With its big edge in pounds per horsepower—8.7 versus 9.1—and shorter rear end, we expected the GT to smoke the Camaro in the sprints, but this turned out to be one of the surprises. The Mustang matched the Chevy to 60 at 4.6 seconds, limited slightly by an extra upshift, but it trailed by a half-second to 100 mph, and in the quarter-mile: 13.2 seconds at 109 mph versus 13 flat at 111.

    as quoted by car and driver magazine

  • canadian?? lol this is a Aussie HOlden underneath..

  • @gteam2 Right a Holden, but built in Canada.

  • Why does this guy seem to go out of his way to imply that most American cars, at least until recently, use leaf springs? What an ass. And we "yanks" have had IRS for decades already, and IRS isn't even necessary for good handling (see the 2011 Mustang). Screw this guy and his constant condescension.

  • yank tank????????? uh em .. its canadian

  • @ericg83z

    ericg83z: "I can't tell the difference between Canada and Australia."

    Geography fail. Look up who developed and engineered the Camaro.

  • @Idoloish canada is bigger than australia , more boring, different hemishere, the camaro was designed by a south korean born man , it was final designed in australia , but its still canadian due to being made in oshawa Ontario Canada an hour and a half away from me

  • @ericg83z

    A Russian and a Korean (they took the front end from one sketch and the ass end from the other).

    Also, logic fail. If the Australian Camaro is Canadian, then the German BMW X5 and Z4 are American (HINT: They're not). When people say "made in Canada", they mean final assembly takes place in Canada. Saying the Aussie is Canadian based on that is as dumb as ordering gym equipment from America and then saying it's Canadian because you assembled the equipment there once it was delivered

  • 5.O nuff said..

  • No replacement for displacement

  • top gear is way better then this show

  • It's weird that the Americans can build sophisticated aircraft but their automobiles are still in the dark ages

  • @IchiCrack What's cheaper? A solid rear axle or a fully independent suspension? A DOHC engine or a pushrod version? Keeping things simple keeps costs down. Repairs and modifications are also less costly and are easier to do. Also, for most people, an engine with lots of torque down low is a lot easier to live with than a high-winding low-displacement engine.

  • @thingsdemystified

    So glad someone else understands. Muscle cars are made to be fast, fun, and MOST importantly: affordable.

  • i hate fifth gear now. first time watching and i couldnt sit thru the whole thing. Top Gear is the show to watch. Not these faggots

  • why does everyone not from the US think we all say YEE HAAA??

  • @tababoytedge

    Its called a stereotype. Everyone not from Canada think we all say eh.

  • @tababoytedge They also think we are all fat, but they would kill to live here- so FUCK EM!

  • @MisterPeetBull amen to that. i'd live here over, the UK any day.

  • Top Gear dropped the ball on their review of this car- compariin it to a merc

  • @MisterPeetBull Absolutely.. They compared a totally different car that was twice the price. What rubbish. Hammond is the layman's layman, and Clarkson is so incredibly full of shit.

    It was as if they deliberately wanted the Camaro get beaten to look crap. Why don't they put the ZR1 against that Merc? They'd be a similar price, and the ZR1 would just kill the Merc. It would be another great apples to oranges comparison.

  • @PooManchoo2 I prefer Top Gear over this show, it is more entertaining, but they rag on American cars way too much. I mean come on what do you have? Jaguar? Rubbish, that Camaro would outlast any Jag. Oh well

  • bumblebee=)

  • Iono why ppl hate on 5th gear ... It's A good show... Long live both gears!!!!

  • The Camaro does what it's supposed to do... Put a smile on the owners face.

  • <
