A Chevy Camaro posted faster lap times than nine supercars, but was slower than seven others.

I doubt many people will be buying these from their local Chevy dealers.

No wonder he was so fast. It's an automatic, and he didn't have to shift. :D

I've never heard of a Trabant so I goggled it. HA! It looks like I can run faster than it can go.

Wish they would have posted all the times and not just the Camero. Not a real contest between a Mustang 5.4 L 350R. Should have used the GT500 for comparison. If you have ever ridden in a Camero you would say that it is not really for the regular street, as with most of the cars it beat. I am 6'2" and get very little vision all around when driving this beast. And the ride is terribly stiff. I hope they solve their cooling problems.

Get Sabine Schmitt on. She'll take a Transit Van around there faster than most of us will ever go. I think she scared the Schmitt out of Jeremy Clarkson!

When I stop for gas at a service station, people gather around my red bug to admire it... and it does not run as fast as the Camaro... it works for me!

The last year for the Yugo included two new options.

1) a rear seat ashtray... some people actually loaded passengers in the rear seat and the missing ashtray was so obvious.

2) Second option ... rear window defroster which turned out to be an excellent add on for keeping your hands warm when pushing the car to the shop when cold weather shut it down!!!
Then, there is the online Yugo Art web site.
