431790083 All that expense (perhaps $20,000!) and trouble, for a V6! My question ---- WHY! WHY! WHY!

UNDERESTIMATE THE L67 ENGINE AT YOUR PERIL!
(Sorry, I feel like I was channelling somebody else for a moment there. But It would be a boring old world if everybody's tastes and values were exactly the same.)

i want to know how chev managed to put such a huge bonnet on those, with only a v6, and still most of it is hidden under the firewall

Huh, whats your problem, don't you like V6's . THe reason is clearly stated & to a collector, it's fair enough altho slightly ruined by the conversion. "30th Anniversary Edition Camaro."

I saw a z28 on the roads yesterday in the same shape and I thought exactly that. Possibly the most boring car I have seen

even if it were a V8 I still wouldn't see the appeal of it.

Lots of these in Japan, I suspect this is one. With tax on engine size the 6 outsells the 8 over there.

Agreed. An ugly slug.

I think we are being unnecessarily harsh now.
It's a big, wide, low-slung, wedge-shaped coupe, that would usually have some sort of V8 at the front for frying the two enormous tyres at the back. It's not really all that hard to see the appeal.

They sold way more V6 than V8s

They touted it as a sports car though. Probably did that with the Cavalier too!

^^^ You are drawing an EXTREMELY long bow, expecting proper English from car people.

"car" people - proper English = likely, Chev people - proper English = less likely.

Thats something you should be asking NZTA, it's simply not neccessary.The red tape that this outfit have created around LHD cars that doesn't even need to exist is ridiculous.

I guess if the owner really wants a V6 'anniversary edition' camaro for themselves so be it, but my point is there is no resale value in V6 camaro's. There was of course, an anniversary V8 camaro of the same year. No one would choose a V6 over a V8 and the huge cost of converting to RHD seems unorthodox to say the least.

Absolutely, theres no doubting that its not a prime candidate for spending the sort of money required to do it.But each to their own.

A quick google reveals thats wheels, seats and paint.
Hardly worth wetting yourself over. There's probably a Commodore that has the same motor and specifications for half the price.

It's just a pre ecotec 3.8 to my knowledge, circa 132kw. Fat and useless, poorly built too. In saying that, I'd happily pay $2500usd for one if I was over there as a run around car/skid hack (I'm sure it could get a wheel going)
