Well, this thing looks awesome!

Its coming with three engines now;


2.0L TURBO
This turbocharged driving force is primed for unexpected levels of refined performance and response thanks to its compact design and the car's lightweight architecture.

6.2L LT1 V8
This reputable small block V8, tailored to satisfy the distinct Camaro spirit, is slated to give the 2016 Camaro SS the highest estimated horsepower of any SS, ever.

3.6L V6
Direct Injeciton and Variable Valve Timing help this proven V6 perform, and if you prefer the new 8-speed automatic transmission, Active Fuel Management comes standard.

Not sure the 4 banger would do the car justice. The LT1 would be a bit of fun though!

I reckon the interior looks fantastic also! Very high-tech Audi-ish. What do you think?

Not reeeeally feeling the C-pillar treatment, smacks a little of Kia/Hyundai, maybe the kick over the rear arches is too high or something. IMHO American muscle should look like an automotive sledgehammer, and this and the latest Mustang aren't working for me when it comes to the rear end.

Therefore I won't buy either. Nothing to do with lack of funds. Honest.

Don't know why anyone would buy the V6, 4 has similar power and more torque.. and that's before you up the boost a tad. I suppose that's why ford australia decided against even offering the V6 mustang here, it also helps with those that the engine has been around for a while, plenty of bolt on upgrades probably floating around and i imagine there will be lots for the turbo Camaro too.

Now if they sold a turbo v6....

they are having the 4cl v6 and v8 mustang here.

lots and lots of cashed up kids will be buying the p plate friendly v6 camaro and mustang.
i work in the holden selling industry and it will be a big deal in v6.

mustang prices are in the 40s-60s on road respecitvly so i imagine the camaro will be a little higher but close to that.

Um no, they're not.

You do have a good point in that neither will be P plate legal, but the 223kw v6 wouldn't be either so there's no real loss there for ford.

Even the turbo 4 Camaro, with its lower 205kw's, would be a power to weight of ~128, which is not legal for a P plate new car in most states if i remember the current laws correctly

    • Salut Frederick. Belle 370z. Welcome to SAU! 
    • Hey, it's me! Though honestly, if I had 20M in my bank account tomorrow, I would not want to be rid of my car all of the sudden - Which makes me think this is money stuff, not "I actually hate car" stuff. I'd probably double down and buy even more trinkets and fun things for it. If this is not you, then sell it cheaper. It will sell at a certain price after all.
    • This is the LCA mount reloctaion kit. Self explanatory in its description. https://au.gktech.com/products/s13-180sx-r32-subframe-anti-squat-reduction-weld-in-kit?_pos=62&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c These are the alloy subframe bush inserts that I am using. I like them. https://au.gktech.com/products/rear-subframe-slip-in-collars?_pos=29&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c Alternatively, if you have original and shitty bushes, you might consider outright replacement with poly. https://au.gktech.com/products/polyurethane-rear-subframe-bushes?_pos=28&_fid=1e812d392&_ss=c I would also higly recommend that you look into adjustable RUCAs and tension rods, so you can sort out the camber and bump steer behaviour, especially if the car will be any more than ~15mm lower than stock. I would also highly recommend the GKTech FUCAs, although you really should do some research and learning on the subjetc of R32 FUCAs before making any decisions. All of this will be criticaly difficult to get through a TÜV inspection too, if that happens to be relevant to you. Note that if you do install the relocation kit, you will absolutely have to replace the associated bushes with spherical joints (you can read all about that on the product page) or upgrade the LCAs also.
