And in the Camaro the passenger gets the centre armrest.

I seen a video of hsv doing the conversions on facebook the other day and they were using rattle can spray paint to touch up the firewall on them, not exactly confidence inspiring especially considering the price difference to the mustang.

No one buys these cars for fuel economy.

I can already guess the next question,
“I wonder if a GT Mustang sounds like a real V8 because it doesn’t have a blower”

On the subject of forced induction , have a quick squizz on the impression this car had on this American .

To say he was impressed with this out of production (well and truly by 8 years) local offering is an understatement .

For the last 8-10 years I've been showing Falcon to American Ford enthusiasts on various forums
feedback in styling and interiors was to say the least disappointing to downright offensive.

This bloke was impressed though ..

Bottom line , it doesn't matter that much . It's a moot point . Falcon is our car , always will be but there are some Americans , European's , etc who like them .

Given the propensity for trucks and SUV's , it doesn't surprise me that our US> friends are ho hum about our mighty Falcon although the minority who do like them REALLY LIKE THEM ..The ones I' know seem to be that way .

Saw my first one on the road on the way home yesterday.
Looked pretty mean looking back at it in the mirror ... it passed me and i followed it.
not very good looking from the back though. Really bland ... and the rear looked really high off the ground as well.

Owner gave it a bootful. Was rather quiet indeed. Sorta sounded like a V8 ... but nowhere near as a nice or tough as a MY19 GT.

My two cents,

Now that Opel Vauxhall is gone, it's a miracle that GM still invests in any RHD vehicles.
HSV deserves high praise for taking a chance with RHD Camaro, GM deserves none.

It will be interesting to see which way GM goes in future with regard to future RHD models now that they have pulled out of many big RHD markets. Holdens poor sales figures aren’t going to help.

And then they offer Equinox and Acadia in RHD, there can't be many RHD markets left for GM..
To do that and ignore Camaro as being too risky, did they listen too much to Holden Hardcore?
