2018 Chevrolet Camaro 2SS review: Australia!

@JUST DO IT, it's a rule from the when horses were the means of transport and wielding a sword was necessary for fending off would be attackers. British Empire would not concede to what was a French/American idea of the time so we now keep left. French and America keep right as they did it when driving horse drawn carriages from the left rear horse, lashing the horses with their right hand. It would cost far too much to move Britain, Australia and Japan just to name a few over to the other side.

[@DennosManCave]

To be honest, if that's your deal breaker, this car ain't for you. The Mustang is the same. Buyers who want a US muscle car will grumble about this, but wont be a deal breaker. The car is obviously not for your!

[@8170youngwilliam]

@@DennosManCave, so you are happy to pay $20000 extra for something that isn't finished? Yes, not finished. How hard is it to get the center console setup for right hand drive. HSV can get 1000 made, and store in bulk. Sales will double. Creature comforts go a long way in a car.

[@DennosManCave]

@@8170youngwilliam Mate, I wouldn't pay an extra $20k for a car not as good as a Mustang. What I'm saying is, is not a deal breaker. The console is the same in the Mustang .. the handbrake is on the LHS of the centre console. Didn't stop me buying one. And wasn't a consideration when choosing to buy one. I'm saying that buying a car like this is emotive ... And not having the console exact is no deal breaker to the buyer persona of who is looking for a car like this

I love the mustang over the camaro too but the only downside I see for Mustang is its terrible ancap rating

[@exploringwithjez931]

I spent ten days and covered two and a half thousand miles in one earlier this year in Cali and Nevada. I was really impressed with the the whole car. The fuel economy was so good for what it is. Between 8 to 11 litres and I drove it fairly hard. Vision was crap but that’s what you get for a car that looks like a ten year olds dream car. I even slept in it at Yosemite national park, by folding down the rear seat and poking my legs into the boot. The dash is on point. The controls look so good and are incredibly easy to use. Why can’t all modern cars have this setup. Centre console is small but what do you expect from a car with a thumping big driveline and sits as low as a go kart. But it does suck just how cheap they are over in the US. I’m sorry but I cannot justify or even afford to buy one here.

[@coopsnz1]

2015 2ss manual is $30000usd / 2018 1ss manual is $30000usd this has auto and sunroof extra $3000 usd to the price . Australia has high consumption taxes than usa ' luxury car tax 33% ' 3% stamp duty Usa don't have on cars

[@7071t6]

So basically like is said before the aftermarket NA mods are going to go through the roof as far as costs go, basically Harrop will offer supercharger kits with headers and full exhaust and OTR system for around 18 to 25K depending on what you ask for, like heads, cam, full exhaust system, ( including hi flow cats, trans cooler if not already fitted by HSV, so for around 100K you will have a monster of a SS camaro with around 500KW at the rear wheels, or go NA with around 400KW at the rear wheels with OTR, full exhaust system and tune, which while the HSV warranty will be covered if you get the NA mods and even if you have a supercharger fitted, just like the US version, which i have no doubt the saem mods will be used as the SS ZR1 has directly from the states and HSV will do the upgrades or Harrop or all the others who will have the right stuff to do the upgrades and still have the factory warranty 3 years or 100,000KM which ever comes first, so how much will the re sale value be, ( 10,000KM and selling for around 75K 2nd hand but with factory warranty still) especially those HSV enhanced / forgot Walkinshaw will also have their version as well. :)

Ok, it's a bloody nice looking car, even though it is last year's model, with a hefty $20k inflated price, auto only, and a shoddy (drive with your arm in your coffee...what the?) conversion. Thank god they didn't devalue it by calling it a Holden.

Dont worry, there will be series twom which will have 6 speed manual ,then also the US version ZL1 with supercharger kits and so on, they bring this version out to see how many people will trade there HSV VF's to get one of these and then spend the extra money via HSV upgrades which are like the ZL1 versions anyway, but again spending more money like normal ? Its like the Series one VF HSV, 340 KW for a SV version or the GTs with 430KW, then the series two can out with all supercharged engines no matter which models you wanted clubby, R8, GTS, Maloo, all go 410 KW except for the grange and the senator and GTS, So think about the next 5 years of new models, thats what HSV will be doing, they are niot stupid, VF"s will be traded in, the price will drop on 2nd HSV VF's and then more people will trade thier cars because they can affrod a VF HSV now and then in 5 years 2nd hand SS series one camaros will be out there for sale because people updated to the serie two. :) thats they way the cookie crumbles people ?H

A recent article on Facebook indicated that GM were open to all products coming to Oz if there was a sound business case. That includes Cadillac. The way to make it happen is if consumers get off their butts and buy what's available now. Nothing speaks louder than sales numbers. Manual gearbox is coming in the facelifted version next year.

[@TheHonro]

I dont understand GM tbh. They have a bigger engine at 6.2lt yet it makes the EXACT same power as the 2018 5lt from Mustang. That is alot of extra capacity they aren't making use of imho. Or could it be a tuning thing to leave room for higher performance models? Still that right there and for an extra $20k more is a bit of a deal breaker for me. My 2c

[@kook4u]

Peter HMan Coyote engine is actually much bigger physically and heavier. LT1 is a pushrod V8 and the Coyote is a dual overhead cam V8. Completely different types of engines with the LT1 rumbling and shaking the car and the Coyote being a high revving smooth engine.

[@josephnicholls9640]

Pushrod engines have a single cam and 2v per cylinder, the Mustang has double overhead camshafts (DOHC) per cylinder bank & 4v per cylinder. The DOHC design allows for not only higher, but more efficient air and exhaust flow, therefore it can combust more fuel at a faster rate and make more hp/L than a similar displacement (even larger displacement) pushrod design

Also if Im going to be real with you, I dont know how you could honestly say that the mustang isn't cluttered and is "simple".. If you want a nice modern, clean design that's "simple", the camaro does a way better job of that. On the mustang theres just a big wall/block of crap plastic with gauges splattered every where making it look very chunky, cluttered and outdated... The camaro's interior is so much cleaner to look at, And when comparing a GT500 (that costs base price of 75K), The camaro ZL1 has a way nicer interior with less chunky plastic while being a bit cheaper... you'd think the GT500 would have a nice interior for its price, but no, Its almost the same interior out of a base model...

Mustang Gt premium performance manual $40000usd / 2ss auto $47000usd without taxes . If it was Rhd from factory it wouldn't be as cheap as the Mustang anyway , since Camaro 2ss has luxury car tax 33% . Price difference Rhd will be $10000 in Australia

[@Rumpig1978]

So its top dollar for a cheap conversion. You'd think they would start at the centre console, turns me to stop looking if they cheaped out on the little things hows the big stuff you cant see

[@darkwarrior9743]

I'll wait for the 2019 model

Proper good vehicle. Now all GM needs to do is build the car in Australia like Ford does with the Mustang instead of a conversation kit which cost more.

[@coopsnz1]

In uk it's above $80000 in LHd

[@coopsnz1]

Rhd conversion is $12000 / luxury car tax $3000 / orc + 3% stamp duty and dealer delivery tax the government slugs you with gst 10% aswell $9000

@Kev agree, where did Dan the Mopar Man get that impression, if GM were going to build cars in Australia, they would have stuck with the VE & VF which Holden invested $1 billion, why would you waste time building the Camaro, a car a 100 kg plus Aussie is going to have trouble climbing in and out of, US cars have always been useless when it comes to ergonomics, space efficiency and build quality!!!

Lhd 2ss is 43000 pounds in uk ' 53000 euros in Germany

[@whitedogproductions6153]

Nice car but it needs to be available from Holden dealer and cut out the HSV price tag rubbish....centre console is crap that its not changed...

[@coopsnz1]

$19000 taxes blame Government / Rhd conversion is $12000

[@vichetkim5533]

I think the Cameron is going to be a sales flop due to last minute after thought and design work leading to such right hand drive conversion taking price into consideration as shown with those cup holders and squeaky passenger side.

[@potaka79]

For the price it's not beating anything.

[@mrx168]

For the price, might as well just keep my VF SSV and supercharge it and you get the benefit of a practical large 4 door family car.

[@lunch6360]

Practicality isn’t criteria when buying a car like this

[@jameshopkinson9651]

Wouldn’t waste my money on a converted Chevy it would never be as good as a factory built car. It’s sad we don’t have Aussie built cars coming from the factory anymore much better value for money GM has shown it doesn’t give a shit about the Aussie market

[@maverick8296]

The exterior looks a little simple and cheap, not much curves and design to it, though it is a base model, I would go for the Mustang and get the manual and do something else with the 20k saving

[@sunnyGsss]

Wish i could justify spending 100k ausd on one though . Good ol holden ve ss sedan is good enough for me at the moment

[@jeffbarr5714]

I have a HSV vehicle from new and am happy with it however this latest offering in my view falls far too short. Why not deliver factory right hand drive vehicles which no doubt would keep the cost down. Why are we being offered the old model, were they cheap due to over stock when new model released. The expected cost of the finished HSV vehicle is over the top, but I suppose HSV has to recoup their pre-conversion costs some how, why not pass it onto the consumer, back to my first point, why not deliver a factory right hand drive??? Like a lot of people, the conversion is a deal breaker for me, with the money being spent and the price we are being expected to pay why not flip over the console. I think I will put my money towards another vintage Indian motorcycle or pre-war Knuckle Head.

Taxes on the car is $18000 lefty . in Usa mrsp retail price is without taxes why its heaps cheaper in Usa , Lhd drive one of these in uk is 45000 pounds , 1ss manual is 39000 pounds
