It should look far away if it is done right. The light from the HUD projection is collimated (made parallel) so it appears as if from some far away light source. This serves 2 purposes:
1. The eyes don't have to switch between near and far adaption when looking at the HUD and the world outside
2. You can superimpose symbology on objects in the outside world. When you move your head, the symbology stays centered on those objects. I don't think this is actually used in the Camaro but it is very important in aviation.
