Euro options in the same price bracket are entry level, if you want at least a 3.0TD Audi A5 or 335 BMW Coupe, you would have to fork out a little more again. Once you also factor in how rare Camaros are over here, it's actually a great option. Can't wait to get mine
Strewth mate!! You guys get it rough. I just checked the UK rate against the Aussie $ and it was £1= 1.47Aus$, which still makes the Camaro over there expensive compared to us. I wouldn't be too stoked about forking out for a right hand drive conversion either. Of course if the average wage in Oz is 100 grand a year, relatively it's good. Like you say though being one of a few special blokes on the road in a Camaro is priceless.
