I spotted a new Corvette about a month ago leaving the M4 on to the Parramatta Rd. He made some bad lane choices but the thing sounded fantastic, it was black.

I also spotted a white Camaro with black striping heading into Penrith Plaza. It was quieter than the Corvette but the thing that struck me was the size, it is not a small car!

Both cars were RHD and my thoughts at the time were that they were private imports.

I was driving at the time so no photos unfortunately!

I think someone is playing funny buggers, surely at least Camaro to compete with Mustang

ZL1 by the looks, shame about the inside of them. I'd happily have the vette.

If the mustang has good sales, gm might think twice about not bringing them here.

I was offered a job at a car yard (in NZ) earlier this year that had C7's, GT500's, and ZL1's on their yard. The salespeople there used them quite often which was surprising.

I often wonder whether I shoukd have accepted that job...

I hope they bring both models here.

I think we have to expect the Camaro at least but like I've said before GM are probably holding out to see how the Mustang fairs for both sales and price before committing.

Camaro vs Mustang is the next best thing to Commodore vs Falcon we're likely to get.

If anyone spots a yellow 14 vette as above don't panic, it's the first oz import to be converted to RHD a couple of weeks ago... it's not a production model.
