Why Supercars tweaked the Camaro, not the Mustang in parity search

[Immortality]

We have a few getting around here. Not bad looking cars really.

I had to have a look, ah so HSV are the distributor, about 30 on car sales in Aus (wait list with HSV) 120-200k

Yeeeeah see that’s not really obtainable by the general bloke surely.. perhaps I’m just poor

as far as im aware as GM said no more RHD they all have to be converted once they are here which makes them quite costly

So what are mustangs worth (checks) ok 72k gets you a v8 manual. Let’s see how many are in stock..

At least the Mustang is readily available here in Australia. Unlike the Camaro which is basically a grey market import.

Have a look at the date of this .......... https://www.drive.com.au/news/chevrolet-camaro-reaches-the-end-of-the-line-in-australia/

I have never seen one on the road, or in a dealership ( not that I have been bothered to look )
So it seems that they were a roaring sales success ... not.

And as for the crashability of the Gen3 cars .......... https://www.autosport.com/supercars...s-over-robustness-of-gen3-supercars/10442956/

SVG says a lot still left to be desired in the Gen3 cars. Made a big post on Instagram yesterday.

I remember some interviews with the pilot drivers during the testing of the cars when they were in development.

Their overall response to the cars was "utterly terrifying".

the only adjustment they get in cabin now is the brake bias, all the rest is gone so there will be some complaining at first but they will just have to be professional paid drivers and deal with it... i foresee some carnage at Bathurst this year
