"Both the Camaro and an altogether different-looking Monaro are expected to begin right-hand drive production late in 2009 or early 2010."

either way, if i was the guy who paid a shitload for the last monaro and they brought a new one out i'd be suing.

i heard it may be released here as a monaro, which will really piss off the fella that paid 100k for the last monaro.

Last news in the car mags is that the car with that shell will be sold here as a Camaro.

They may also give it a "Monaro" body as well, but that's less guaranteed.

Good looking car,Cool movie. But think i'd stil rather a R34 GTR,They got it all. Each to there own thou.But does look good. Although if ya pictured a sick looking GTR in its place for the movie.. now that would have been cool.Maybe i just like turbo's too much.......mmmm,Ball Bearing Turbos,nos.I love rice

The 2009 Camaro looks like a revamped '69 Camaro with a goodly amount of '69 Ford Mustang in the lines........all that is old is new again. But I gotta admit, they sure beat the crap out of the prosaic modern offerings that - but for a badge change - all look the same.

Thats right it was designed here in australia. I know of the guy that was taking it home before it was released.

GM sent down down their lead designers down to do the project. I met them at a bar including the chief designer of the project. He wouldnt say too much except that it would be really good. This was end of 2005

Very old thread I know, but seeing Johnny's avatar reminded me.

A couple of weeks ago I was on my way to work and driving down from Pakenham to Koo Wee Rup when, after overtaking a slowass, I noticed a large wide black arse of a car in front of me. Upon closer inspection it was a new murdered out (black paint, black wheels) Camaro (left hand drive) and must have been on it's way to the Lang Lang proving grounds.

It was pissing down and he was sitting behind another slowass (80 in 100 zone) so I went past both cars, making sure to have a good look at the Camaro as I went past.

He must've gotten a bee in his bonnet because he soon overtook the slowass and basically camped on my bumper.

I decided to speed up a bit, and I guess he really wanted to go past me (which he eventually did).

He turned off toward Lang Lang never to be seen again.

Now I gotta say that I loved the new Camaro. Thought it was one of the best looking cars...

But having seen one from most angles on the "flesh", I have gotta say that they are VERY large. The hips are higher than a VE's, it is wider than my M35 and if I didn't know better, I would say that it was built by Hyundai in the mid 1990's.

Extremely disappointed.

Not only that, but it does not have nearly as much guts as I thought it would! No sound either!! :)

Another vehicle letdown.

Bring on the Challenger! Now that looks the goods :)

    • Yeah, playing with naturally aspirated is not smart bang for your buck power wise, but then I've never been known for being smart when it comes to cars and modifications 
    • I mean from V8 world there are gains to be made in intakes and such over stock items, but definitely only if you tune them. We're talking about I dunno, 10kw here and there on a 300KW v8, gains made by tuning in the 0.2 AFR that it changes so YES but also no you won't notice it other than the sound. Duct the air as mentioned 750,000 times and you will notice happier IAT's which definitely make a difference N/A. I mean my unsubstantiated guess is you'd go from 140kw with everything stock (after cams) to 145kw with everything and a tune :p
    • I decided to "spend baby spend", and "risk it for the biscuit" 2 Orders were made buying parts that I "don't really need but really really want" totalling $2.5k AUD 1: In stock items (intake plenum and throttle body) 2: The airbox thingie, with no real ETA for them getting more stock, so patience will be required 
    • Any further updates on experiences with them? Anyone installed one with a getrag here as yet?
