Camaro has an edge over its US stablemates (or competitors thereof) only because it was designed as well as developed in Australia (yep, thats an Ausi car there), and NOT in the US... It is based on the VE Commodore's platform (as they call it Pontiac G8 in the US, Chevy Lumina SS in Gluf and Vauxhall VXR8 in the UK.. which as a matter of fact are imported there in those markets from Aus)...
