With the conversion being done in Australia at HSV the price tag is going to be at least $20k over the Mustang, some reports say $95 to $100k.

Mustang GT500 has been touted at 700hp which is 520kW, but I don't know what standard that is to, also don't know the price yet but sure to be well above ZL1 & Demon prices.

Well this will right at home in a HSV showroom and their customers will love it. Continues the theme of over styled cars with layer upon layer of plastic body parts. Certainly lacks the more timeless S550 Mustang.
On a series note, its great to see a company investing in a car like the Camaro. A dirty big V8 and to hell with fuel economy. Sad for local GM fans that they will have to fork out the expected 20k premium HSV will charge to cover the local conversions.

I don't mind it. I like the current ZL1 1lE too, beast.
I'd have a GT350 and the Camaro too. best of both worlds.

What did they do to the SS to screw it up so bad. Looks bloody terrible.
Seen a lot of feedback on Motortrend and a lot of diehard Chevy owners are hating on this facelift badly. Interestingly Camaro sales did not improve when the new one was released a couple of years ago. Despite being a good car to drive the yanks really didn't warm to it at all. And many wouldn't touch one because vision out of it is apparently appalling, like looking out of a letterbox. |

They do a good job of making each iteration uglier than the previous.
And yes visibility out of them is truly terrible. |

No doubt the Mustang has gone through stages of not looking great, but Camero hasn't been a looker it's whole life either. |

Two things, Mustang will sell more in two months than HSV will convert in a year and
only stupid GM would make their buyers pay $20K more for a Mustang competitor that's a dirty slap in the face after all the years of loyal V8 buyer support.... |

Looks good, hope it sells in Yank land and here.
Of course it cant sell in mustang numbers at the price HSV will sell it at, but it will provide a halo vehicle, and get people into showrooms. I was hoping for a retro styled early Gen 2 Camaro, always liked those. And the Firebirds. |
