Regardless of price, I think anyone who has seen the Transformers movies will want one in bright yellow.

The camaro will do a lot of things but it wont blend in with the crowd.

Great car, great conversion.

Geez!!!! There are a lot of whingers here. Blaiming K Rudd for 33% luxury car tax, $135K is to much, a BMW 335i is better value for that price & Holden is a rip off. The luxury car tax was 30% & is now 33%. Wow, it went up 3%. Get over it. Yes, the car is $135K, but that is because it is imported by Performax, they pay retail price, additional taxes & fees for importing a new car from the States, conversion costs, so on & so forth, plus they want to make a profit. If Holden was to sell it off they showroom floors, their initial cost to bring it in is less then Performax, coversion costs would be lower & it would sell for about $80K. Compare apples with apples, not factory vs private importer.

I like the ZR1 however those rims make it look cheap!
The Camaro looks like it’s had Botox injections.Big and thick everywhere.
How come we haven’t heard from the Golf GTI fanbois?
Surely by now,I would’ve expected to read about how a GTI with say,a $900 chip could
challenge the ZR1???

Who’s complaining?

This is almost as bad as selling the W200 for $155K.

i agree with isamike,the camaro is esentially a commode platform,so a rhd model wouldn\’t be hard and with the falcon and mustang joining platforms in the future there would be no reason why a rhd mustang couldn\’t come in as an fpv,especially with ford\’s global car policy they are pushing now.
i think you would be suprised at how many would sell if they were bought in at a reasonable price,say under 100g and with fully backed factory warranty.

Veyron also a little bit dearer, agreed?
I think the comparison only goes so far…………

“Now I understand why a convoy of slightly lessor powered ZO6s won their class at Le Mans last year, unchallenged”

Are you sure you should be a journo? Are you letting personal bias interfere with this story?

The GT1 class was the laughing stock of international racing last year at Le Mans as there was only 6 entrants. There were calls to the FIA to scrap the class. 4 Corvettes (2 from an official factory team), a privateer DBR9 and a Murcielago. The Murcielago, run by a Japanese privateer team, promptly blew up on lap 1, leaving only the Aston Martin to compete with the 4 Corvettes.

Despite this, 2 Corvettes failed to finish, one of which was the factory car, meaning that every GT1 car that finished the race was on the podium! The Corvettes came in 1st and 2nd, with the DBR9 3rd.

It’s easy to be unchallenged when you only have 1 competitor (which also beat half the Corvettes entered!), and since when did has 2 cars become a convoy?

The engine is an extremely impressive piece of work.

Pushrods aren’t dated.. wait till GenV is released.

A Challenger in Snow? Well you can forget it. Then again cars like these are meant to be kept safe in the garage in Winter.

It handles better in the Snow better than Mustang or Charger. Mustang and Charger= guaranteed cars that will get you stuck in a Snowbank up here.

If you ever want to get stuck in America in snow drive those 2 cars on a vacation over here during a snowstorm, and see what happens.
