Scotty Doesn't Like The Camaro SS

[@IsntThisFANCY]

It doesn’t have HSV badges bc it’s still a Chevy Camaro, HSV just did the RHD conversion

[@STREETMACHINETV]

Yet, their Promo material had HSV Camaro in big letters. Wish I'd included that in the video

[@toneloc9084]

Cup holders are set up for left hand drive

[@7071t6]

Yet HSV builds then from everything made to suit the australian conditions ie: all the guts of the imported car is taken out, wiring and seats door trims dash everything and then make it a right hand drive, but leave the center console as is, like you said for the left hand drive version. cheers :) they had the dash moulded for right hand drive, but could not afford the center console re molded to suit the right hand drive units ?

[@wobblysauce]

Not really an HSV... there just done a Right-hand conversion and slapped a sticker on the compliance plate.

[@jason454ss]

Right and Hyundai built a completely different body when switching the Veloster to RHD.

[@suzybromley39]

How many of the people commenting have actually driven one of the converted Camaros? This review is a joke. He only makes a handful of comments about the car then just repeats them. A very one sided review that in most part is inaccurate.

[@mixalis6168]

my mate owned one, and it wasn't that good, hes wife now drives it..

[@sanddigger643]

He didn’t mention You have a switch on the middle console to select the drive setting you want , you can choose touring mode which softens the suspension and steering. Also you can select the sound on the exhaust you can make it louder or put it in stealth mode and keep it very quiet . I use it as a daily driver and have no complaints.

[@ashleypope3363]

Indicator stalk on the left...BAHAHAHA!

[@nathanb3675]

Yeah. hsv still cut corners

[@mohamedsabra6095]

Half assed conversion

[@BL0HARD]

Ford Mustang and even German built Ford Focus’ manage to have the indicator on the right (right) side. Indicators on the Left piss me off in any car because it makes me feel the car isn’t properly engineered. At least Japan builds right hand drive cars.

[@TheWowowo]

HSV only handles the conversion....Which side of the engine bay was the HSV badge??

[@glennplumbe7815]

I wonder if you lost 50 kilos if the seat might respond a little better?

[@chrisismail]

Ive driven one in hawaii. It was awsome handled great power was plenty. Didnt have any issues with any of the different driving option like track option on the road . I didnt find it was to noisy or had road noise, was super comfortable sitting in too. The tourque felt awsome driving and being an auto i found it had better shifting and was quicker than using the paddle shifting through gears as they felt slightly laggy.

[@wau0001]

you should probbaly go through your settings you can soften them up for road use you probally have it in track mode

I tried all the modes. It was actually in the softest mode when I did the video

I stopped watching after the comments re the HSV badges, its a Chevy ffs.

[@ziggassedup]

That thing is as HSV as my old Nissan Pulsar...At least that's got the indicators on the correct side.

[@VARNABISS]

Dont mind the 6th gen camaro but I wouldn't have it not because of the poor visibility nor the no manual option nor the fact the rear seats are useless or the impracticality of the cup holders but the deal breaker the indicator stalk is on the wrong side.

[@davegraham2009]

Do you reckon it would make a good track car?

[@chestercleveland8377]

Thats odd they did not redo the center console to make the cup holders not in the way

[@billybob1511]

Scotty, Holden made the mistake of calling the new 'Commodore' a Commodore which was not appropriate. This Camaro is not really a HSV, its a Chevy, so Holden have done the right thing this time around! HSV too lazy to even swap the console over to fix the cupholder issue....... Forget HSV :-(

[@wobblysauce]

IT is sad.

[@21petergriffin420]

[@mickusms700]

So hows the ride and suspension?

[@danielzanon7320]

Damn well no manual is a deal breaker for me.. What kind of Australian wants a nice V8 with an auto trans :(

[@danielzanon7320]

@Mitch09 Yeah i'm aware of that, i'm more talking about us car enthusiasts then the average person. I also understand that many people do like the auto's especially in XR6 turbo's and F6's because they're "faster" but i feel like it just lacks some of the involvement and fun factor for the street if you get what i mean

Personally I'd go the VF. The VF GTS was one of my favourite Aussie built cars.

[@Cykoid]

if you're just looking for pure performance, the Camaro, its actually faster than a GTS in the 1/4 due to the amazing engine and transmission combo.

[@BarraGutheWorld]

The centre console has not been converted, because when they imported the camaro’s they would’ve had to put the steering wheel on the other side

[@honestpat7789]

Should badge it as GMSV, but this car's our only hope of keeping our supercar series and Bathurst alive, so I'll get behind it!

Hsv stands for Holden special vehicle does it not? It’s no Holden.

Come on guys, you need to get it together .. You really need to get a sponsor for this. And get a decent 4wd chase rig and some professional camera gear.

It's not an HSV, it's a Chevy Camaro with a RH drive conversion done by HSV. Clearly suspension tuning is still as per US. Definitely not worth the $30K premium unfortunately.
