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.

Thank you for your complete reply.
Here in Italy there are duty and taxes problem too. For a 2LT I must pay IVA (VAT) of 20%, 10% of duty. Once I have the car I have to pay every year a tax of car property that depends by horse power... =) LoL.
I found a dealer that sell a 2LT/RS for 35k with italian licence plate "ready-for-street" with nothing else to pay (except for the property tax and insurance).
