Camaro ... comin’ at ya

Cruel timing meant we just missed out on including a drive of the HSV Camaro in this issue. Our first chance to sample a right-hook Camaro arrives two days after our print deadline, though we have big plans for the November mag, so stay tuned. HSV’S new, auto-only charger will cost $85,990 when it goes on sale this year, making it some $20K more expensive than an equivalent Mustang. The Camaro does pack more grunt than the Ford (339kw/617nm v 339kw/556nm), though it’s HSV’S significant remanufacturing process that adds the price premium. Each Camaro takes 100 hours to convert and the quality and attention to detail dedicated to the process is extraordinary.
