@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.

@@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 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.

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

​@@Studat I get what youre saying Stuart but the public didnt want them outside of car enthusiasts. They saw sales success in their final years because there was a rush to get the last ones. Prior to that sales dropped year on year. Most people just want a Hyundai with 7 year warranty that goes A-B. We'd still have the SS commodore if people bought the base models that are needed to sustain sales so the performance cars can be built on top of that platform.

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. :)

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

Looks like the conversions are worse than what conversion mobs do here. The centre console is a joke, the wiring hanging at the foot pedals. No wonder though, HSV have no experience in converting.

seems more like a money grabbing opportunity in regards to sending them to us as LH and then having to do a RH conversion. Do what Ford did and secure a right hand drive production first. I cant imagine anyone genuinely saying that they're happy with that centre console!

One of the worst car reviews I’ve seen, fills the massive void left. Y the gts & Maloo ..... are you kidding or genuinely stupid, the maloo was a ute, the gts was a highly developed 4 door 4 passenger supercharged weapon. No sat nav In 2018 & 85,000 , no forced induction, admitted its suspension was basic, not even up to the caliber of an ss let alone gts. Been a GM buyer for years but I am afraid the mustangs absolutely shit on this latest offering from GM especially when price is considered,

Yes nothing out of Europe comes close for $86k, what about Korea though? I'm sure if the left over change from a Stinger GT was spent on tuning it would wipe the floor with this. Even in stock form it's faster with more equipment. My Stinger needs traction upgrades and tuning to fix stupid issues like it only staying manual for 30 sec then reverting back to auto, more aggressive launch control and always starting in comfort mode. Hardware wise, it needs better brakes.

really foolish on GM's part. Why cannot they let HSV just manufacture the RHD version of this car. Either that or just import the LHD version directly. The government should just allow private buyers to import special cars from wherever they want.

@@DennosManCave man.. Im not saying camaro's interior are top notch stuff, but when compared to a mustang, the camaro is nicer... It looks way better and has that 21st century vibe unlike the mustang, it also has less dodgy spots that seemed to be fulled with plastic, now before you have a go at me for that, YES I know that the camaro also has a TON of plastic in it too, but to me it works better in how its designed. 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... Just pointing that out.

This car is awesome. However, it will never be a serious competitor with the vastly cheaper Mustang. General Motors really dropped the ball on this one. Ford had the intelligence to build right hand drive Mustangs which they could easily import into Australia and be sold at an affordable price. It's the price of the right hand drive conversion that will keep the sales of the Camaro down. Once again, Holden, as it has been doing repeatedly, totally failed to read the market and General Motors failed to see the opportunity.
