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

Quick! Before the tossers from the BBC remove it!

A stupid comparison. Wish they had gotten their hands on a 2011 5.0 GT and compared those two.

Seems the Merc is in the lead in the super saloon. Will see what the next M5 can do. But then again, we will see what the E63 with the 5.5TT can do after that. It never ends.

Would have been a good camparison if the Camaro proved to be faster, but basically they just proved that you can get a better, faster car if you spend nearly twice as much.

Almost one and a half seconds quicker than the old M5 means that the next one will need to be one hell of a car..........which it will be.

I need to retract an earlier statement. I had said the new E63 was nasty when I saw a black one on the road.

I saw a white one yesterday with some classy wheels and it looked GOOD.

Too quick to judge.
