Differences between US and Canadian Camaros
 
Hey guys, this might be stupid, might not.

I know the Camaros were built in Canada but depending on destination (US or CAN) were the cars any different. To add some substance to my question i ask because when shopping would it make sense for me to also look in States? I am big on keeping money local but for something this big and expensive I can live with myself.

Thanks all
B

Speedo reads in mph instead of kph although can be switched back and forth. If you buy a new US car and ship it to Canada you lose your warranty. Right now with the crappy Canadian dollar only worth $.75 US it's probably not worth it to buy in the States. When I sold cars in Canada the US dollar was worth less than or on par with the CDN $ so we made hay selling CDN cars in the US but used to get in trouble with GM for doing so.

Mine is a US market car bought here in Canada.... As noted the speedo is different but is switchable. The bad news is it tops at 180 as opposed to 260 for Canadian KM/H... Car is not limited to that of course.... And gauges are in PSI on the console not metric ranges. Other than that have at it. I saved a pile of dough buying this car.

It had 180 KM (110 miles) on the clock and I saved 11K compared to a brand new one.....

Yes only difference is the 2ss gauge pack in the center not being metric. My SS is a usa car too and I really don't mind the US gauges :cool:

I don't mind them either as for me I relate to PSI better anyways when it comes to oil pressure... Kg/meter squared what...:paddle:

The cdn speedo is numbered to 300.

Canadian Camaros with major medical issues come to the U.S. to get fixed quickly.

Your mirrors are horrendous. They remind me of an old grandpa everytime I see them on YouTube or picture
