interior looks horrid!
IMO they should have reduced the crap on the insides and shed some of the 1700kg weight! So where does the 100k extra come from when its converted to RHD.. can't see the value..

The top left hand gauge seems to be a "torque gauge"....... WTF. Never heard or seen one of these before.

At that price, why would i get a Camaro over a Mustang? And why would I get a Mustang over a Nissan GT-R?

definately agree with ya there XR6190 - although there will be punters who will have the money to buy whatever they want i really couldnt justify spending $150k on a car which more or less is just a new Monaro with a different badge, American styling and a long waiting time due to the conversion..
Yep I think the loaded enthusiasts would find it hard to justify it too

Not sure about the interior. The bottom guages look too agricultural compared to the rest. Too small of a car for my needs and very small looking in the flesh, as i seen one on the road a few weeks back. Still think an fpv GT has more presence...

I went for a spin in one the other week they are nice looking but the interior let it down badly and the boot access is tiny. It was a SIDI V6 and it went OK but didn't have the exhaust note one want/expect in a sports car like this but overall a nice unit and fairly well finished

Spotted one of these in Bayswater on sunday, just near home. Already had water in the tail light, dints and some scrapes on it, bad paint match on one guard. Pics here.

That gearshifter looks horrid. Love the retro style gauges though, they do look good above the steering wheel. But for 150k the average punter could have bought the 427hsv and had the bigger motor too..

The Camaro has two doors, rear wheel drive and a V8, price aside i can't see a downside to them being available in Aus.

They have awesome road presence, but the look i had into the interior was disgusting. It looked so cramped in there, and with the two rectangle guage "pods"....... :

I just love that people are paying a premium to import an Australian designed and prototype built car back into Australia via America just simply because its American but its in fact Australian.
I dont know if anyone else sees the humor in it but I do py: |

The awesome 2010 Chevrolet Camaro is coming to Australia. Performax International has purchased a Camaro in a 2SS V8 manual and its on the way as you read this.

The compliancing and conversion of the 2010 Camaro will be happening in our workshop as soon as it arrives. Performax will convert and compliance this vehicle using our industry leading computer aided design and plastic injection molding technology to give you an unprecedented RHD quality finish. Performax has a state of the art 3 dimensional scanner that allows us to scan any article then produce it on a CAD programme.

This amazing printer actually prints a solid plastic prototype which allows us to try the article in the vehicle. If any changes need to be made they are made back in the Cad programme and then reprinted. This takes all of the guess work out of the process and allows us to work with an exact replication.

Performax hasn't officially said but you are in the ball park. When I was in the states in May, the top model was $40kus, the V6 $25kus. pity those prices aren't here !!
