@ragtopdodge: A 599 is a Grand Tourer with over 600 horsepower & 450 footpounds of torque... you're comparing that to a ponycar with roughly 400 or slightly more HP in it's hooniest version?
Why? Different driving purposes/intents, yet the 599 will still totally bitchslap the Camaro in just about every element of performance you could possibly conceive.
A lot of folks don't like it, but I'm a fan of the Tan / Silver. It's even better with the old Light Pewter Metallic color from the 4th gen and C5 Corvette era, as the tan picks up the brown/bronze in the Pewter.

Is it possible that this is a mod and not a prototype (not even sure that's what you would call it)? I know I've seen a few companies that do convertible mods for Challengers.
@egoods: Looks like a Captured Test Fleet (CTF) sticker on the bottom driver-side corner of the windshield. GM likely wouldn't mod their own vehicles. It seems likely this is a pre-production Camaro convertible to me. We might not see it in dealers for another year or two, though.
@FormerlyPreferredCustomer: Cos the cops usually don't chase you from in front...
seriously, that's the reason for the stickers, it's so the cops don't saunter up to the right window and get all confused when the 'driver' hasn't got a steering wheel

We're not getting the truly cool cars from there, and it isn't as if there is a lack of a properly hot/cold/high/low testing environment here.
I guess GM caught a break on overseas shipping....
Hold on...they're testing the UV resistance of the new roof, that's it!!!

I would totally rock one in dark blue, black top, with black interior with dark blue stitching.
Manual SS, of course...

OT but I love Australia tho. It's like the love child of America and Britain when they had drunken sex.
