Exclamation Top Gear: Chevrolet Camaro SS vs Mercedes-Benz E63 AMG (you will be surprised)

Quick! Before the tossers from the BBC remove it!

Why on earth did they compare these two very different cars, I have no idea...

Surprised? I am. I'm surprised that nobody posted this before. Anyway, the E63 is quicker than the M3, M5 and XFR.

Loved watching those two cars together, and was giddy as a school-girl when I saw that comparison come up, as those are two New cars that I'd love to have in my own driveway.

But it's a totally off comparison, the E63 would have been more fit with the uber-Sedan Test they did earlier in the Episode. It's not really fair to the Camaro either, as the E63 is far more than a Muscle-Car, that's just one of its many personalities.

One word...

WHY? Are they running out of cars, what with pinning a Camaro against a 4 door Sedan?

Unless they're trying to show us Americans how German Engineering is superior to US engineering? In that case Jeremy, we know this. Thanks for wasting your time.

I saw this before it was removed and I was not at all surprised. E63 is a different league but it was a fun comparison
