If you want to drive a car with a lot of horsepower in Austria you have to spend a lot of money.
Additional to the purchasing price (including shipping from USA and European duty) there are costs for technical changes to get a typification.
Then there are different taxes you have to pay: The so-called "Normverbrauchsabgabe" (fuel-consumption-dependend tax) is 16% of the purchasing price (incl. shipping and duty). The CO2-tax is 25 Euro for each gramm CO2 emissions more than 180g/km (Camaro: about 325g = 3625 Euros). Additional you have to pay 20% value-added-tax on these taxes
Including all these costs and taxes a 2SS/RS costs in Austria about 60kEuros.

The front license plate is a problem. On my car the bracket for US-license plates was already mounted (will holes in the bumper). Preliminary I decided to put my license plate on this bracket, allthough it doesnt fit (you can see this in the pictures). But that will not be the final solution.

Some members of the German Camaro Forum did the mounting of the plates in different ways.
