Cool story bro, this isn't some back yard operation, its HSV FFS and they have turned out some of the best examples of performance car in this countries history.
I'm sure it'll be ok.

As for the Holden BS, I was born less than 500m from the Holden plant at Elizabeth, lived there for 90% of my life and have life long friends who have done up to 50yrs in the place and am proud enough to admit I shed a tear with them when the announcements were made, you don't need to lecture me on the pain of losing manufacturing in this country, I live it on a daily basis and I'm sure those Mexicans (I can say that right now as I'm currently in NSW) who once called Broady their home away from home would agree.

It is admirable how staunch you are to the blue oval, but hard to take you serious sometimes.

Oh, and before you posts some long winded reply with lots of full stops and some irrelevant utube vids, I'm off to hang **** on Richmond supporters on BF.
Were the pride of South Australia....

How did you go hanging **** on Richmond supporters

$127,000 + on roads + ($39,000 conversion + GST) = more than a Walkinshaw W1.

A Walky will retain its value, a converted Camaro will make depreciation on expensive Euros look good.

I like them, they look a hell of a lot better than those chrome dinner plate size lions Holden puts on the front grille.

Ford did the right thing by making the blue oval small and inconspicuous.

20k more than a Mustang is just ridiculous. You would have to have rocks in your head.

Especially when the 2018 Mustang is so good.

Haha.

A real port supporter would back a team financed by bin Laden before barracking for the crows.

I'm sure its a great car, but at 90k it will be priced out of its comfort zone.

And some people complain about the Mustang being 60k here in Australia.

When Ford reintroduced the Mustang in Australia in late 2015 — as a factory-built right-hand-drive for the first time — it conservatively estimated about 1000 sales per year.

This year, it is poised to sell almost 10,000 Mustangs, roughly half the total sports car market in Australia.

A little off topic, but if this statement is correct it shows a huge Ford market research failure, out by 10x their estimate

, also I hope they start to catch on that to sell a product it helps to actually advertise it.

RI have to agree with many here.

A bodgy job conversion by HSV is just clutching at straws. The new commodore range offers them nothing. What else do they have?

A mustang is built properly in the factory. Ford have other genuine options.. focus rs

I couldnt spend near $100k on a car not done properly.

Wait for the proper version, if you like holden performance better frab the last vf ss. Frankenstein camaro will be garbage.

What makes you say HSV would do a bodgy job conversion?

That's a fair call, unless its GF day and a local side is playing a Victorian, then I'm a South Aussie, until the siren goes and the local side is behind, then I'm a Port supporter.

Mr Versatile

Even funnier was the flog at the Taren Point Bowls Club where we watched the game on the big screen who couldn't help but heckle the Crows supporters in the room every time the Tigers scored, went a little quiet when I told him I was off to watch game 3 of this years SOO...

**PridenJoy** · 04-10-2017, 03:27 PM

HSV have been converting RAM trucks for a while now, so you would think they know something about conversions.

Still, Mustang is better proposition.

SpoolMan · 05-10-2017, 12:23 AM

For a car that's suppose to go on sale next year, still no official announcement from HSV.

Sounds like one of those "they are thinking about doing it" rumours that clickbait journos run with as fact

I doubt it will even happen as it sounds like total bs. Why would they bother doing it if there is supposed to be an all new Camaro 3 years later that could potentially be built in RHD.

Not to mention they rejected the idea to build the current model in RHD cause their sales projections weren't good enough. It won't have the global appeal of the Mustang, not even close.

Just wondering, March this year the right hand drive was signed sealed and delivered but still not officially.

Maybe the HSV is a stop gap until 2021, along with the earlier reports of the turbo four, V6 and V8-engined variants.
