"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 :)

    • Am I correct in assuming that the R35's are getting the classic skyline haircut off the odometer?  Quick search on carsales, there are 33 08 and 09 GTR's for sale, only 2 of them have more then 100,000km's on them (116,075 and 110,000 respectively).  And somehow there are about 25 for sale with around 60,000kms? Looks like the classic skyline haircut to me =/
    • @Stringycheese  Have you only gone to the one blue slip workshop?  There will be a heap of them where ever you live, good odds that the next place you go to will pass the car.  Unfortunately (or fortunately?) every blue slip / engineering workshop will be different and will be happy passing or failing different things - despite working from the same set of rules. It's kinda like 2 lawyers arguing over a piece of legislation, each saying their interpretation is correct. Might seem strange that this happens when it comes to getting a modified car passed, but this is very much a thing. A big part of the game is finding an engineer / workshop that is on the same page as you.
    • Bah. I daily mine. ~60km per work day, 10-12 thousand km per year. What's the point of having a dirty old Datto and leaving it in the shed. It needs to be driven and enjoyed while the govco allows us to do so. It will only be a few years before we're forbidden to even start up internal combustion engines.
    • Judging by that spring perch and the normal looking spring on it - not a coilover. Well.... it is a coilover, just a stock format coilover, rather than what everyone calls a coilover.
    • Yes it is. We get stock from Nismo directly. I'm happy to take photos/video of it as proof before I ship it with timestamps or whathaveyou.
