Not bad but sits a little too high in the front end in my opinion. Knock it down a couple of notches and I'm there.

I have been for a ride in the camaro down at holden proving grounds. My opinions are looks are good but in this case the photos make them look better than they actually look, but still nice though.

Interior is rubbish(or maybe the fact that I was in a prototype) i dunno but it screamed holden plastic aka VE interior. The gauges down the bottom are next to useless as you have to look directly down, back seat room is rubbish and the speedo didn't go high enough. It seemed we were on the speedo limit but going faster so we couldn't tell how fast we were actually going.
