If they make a Camaro right hand drive then move the door to the right.

You can say that again. You can't imagine how much re-tooling that would require! All for nothing. New body panels, filler necks, floorpans, gastanks, exhaust systems, etc. It's actually good more GM people DON'T read these forums.... they'd end up going insane trying to understand people putting so much importance on something that doesn't matter at all. And before you reply trying to impress on us all how much it DOES matter, re-read all the postings from people saying they'd rather have it on the opposite side from the driver. Please keep you're "crying out loud"
to more important stuff! I do understand why people would want it on top and be cool billet aluminum but can't figure out at all why anyone would want it on one side more than the other. Don't explain it though.... it's not moving! Seriously: it was locked in by the Zeta platform long before the Camaro was even started.

I can see them not having them on the Camaro though for price issues. |
I meant that the tail lights have a lot of extra cost for very little extra value.... only worth it when the cost is a very small part of the total price. The headlights have a higher cost but a higher value too so they might catch on even more than the tail lights.
