To be completely honest, at first impressions I judged you as a ‘bogan’ and nearly moved on... but I stayed and watched what was an articulate and well presented review. All credit to you, and thanks for the quality review of what looks like a rare muscle car for AU/NZ
yeah that's what I like about the gearbox and motor combo, its whatever you want it to be at the given time. the ZL1 ( in another video on here) is less like that for crusing and it wont do the 4 cyclinder shut down so economy isn't as good but its still quite chill around town if you're gentle, I wasn't but... it can be
@@coopsnz1 as i understand it, Tax is applied in the country of sale, not production? otherwise there would be a double down on tax? I dont know how all that works but I know that GST is applied to car sales which is our " goods and services tax" which is 15% of the price of the item
Getting used 2 right hand driving, will take awhile 2 familiarize, and a challenge! Bc I never shift with my left hand before!! Naturally, I want a manual transmission with my Camaro!
Laughable visibility outward is what kills it to me. Just too much of a coffin if you are above 6 ft tall. In inclimental weather, the blind spot sensorswill not work.
@@jacob7291 oh I couldn't tell you first hand as I've not seen the US chev verision, They completely reengineerd the interior to make it right hand drive so some mechanical stuff there but in terms of fit and finish / features etc the only thing I think we lose our end is the GPS / Maps that are in the mylink system cause the software is really expensive or something

Mate, I am a bogan. but I apricate the support :)
i got mine last month for $70K and i love everything about it, what surprises me is how sedate it is around town.

Bro can this car remove that roof up there??
I think they do a soft top version but we didnt' get it here in New Zealand, well. Not NZ New anyway. it would be an import

It did make it hard, but forward isn't so bad, just go faster? haha

In roll race the new mustang gt would destroy this camaro ss 70 to 150 mph over and over again.
Yakabitch B not destroy but just win
In UK LHd its 45000 pounds
I think that works out about the same as here?
Mustang is the biggest seller in Australia, Camaro is far to expensive for buyers
I would expect that's due to the RHD extras that HSV have to go through to get cars into Australasia
It’s too pricey. They need to knock off at least $30,000. It’s not hard. That’s why sales will be down.
Sales aren't down, a lot of them were sold before they landed, I don't think there are any left
Bullshit. Every dealer has one. None on the road. Do you work for HSV.
@@nippasss $5000 discount dealer isn't going to make any profit , are. You a labor supporter
Why $30000 , when it's 46000usd in usa with out taxes $100,000nz. The 1ss in cloth trim is $37500usd with out taxes
