Thanks for setting me straight. Good info. Would love to take a vacation over there just to drive all the different types. HEY, would anybody over there make a kinda bed and breakfast thing for fellow G8ers to stay while were there to drive. WOO HOO vacation everyone. We can all stay at Paul's.

That test mule allowed on the roads over there? The steering wheel is on the wrond side, unless the pics backward. Good pics though. I like the silver alot. Paul, you always have the best info anyone can find anywhere.
Slizzo, its my believe that the Camaro is 3 inches longer than the Commodore. I believe that puts it in the Caprice area. The Calais is more of the stripped SS version. The longer bodied versions go Caprice, Senator, Statesmen, I think. Paul, we need you again....lol

Neg, Camaro is definitely riding on a shortened Zeta platform. Smaller car than the G8. Sit in one and you'll see.
