Hi Jimtasteek!,

I guess it's quite simpler: the marketing guys at Chevrolet Europe have gone for a simplification of the names: Camaro Turbo and Camaro V8. Simple and easy.

See you!!,

Hey Eos,

The WWII/SS thing was told to me by a Chevy rep at Goodwood FoS and lster confirmed by a dealer so I presume it's true.

Your RS comment does make sense though!

I don't have any doubt about your sources, but it sounds a little bit excessive to me.. Camaro buyers in Europe aren't 80 years old people. I guess..

What are the tails like? The US version has the brake lights doubling as turn signals.

Turn signal is a yellow flash light on the inner side of the tail light. Graphic is the same

Like the amber blinker better, also jelly about the mirrors...

I like the reverse light relocated bottom center!

Must be crazy driving one of these around the UK. How long does it take to fill up? I've had to wait for photo ops from bewildered enthusiasts here.

I'm getting weird ideas now that involve relay boards and diodes. Nice to have the battery in the trunk.
