Approx. costs per month in Germany are listed here:

Of course gas is still much more expensive around 1.60 - 1.80 € per litre. Taxes are c. 560 € per year for the V8 and insurance is c. 1.000 - 2500 € per year depending on location, age and driving experience.
Roads are a little bit tight but I'm used to it. Driving in the older pars of some towns will be quite different to The US. Some parking lots are too small and also I cannot use all parking garages with our Camaro.
Costs will vary a lot in different European countries and I believe Germany is one of the more affordable ones.
E.g. you will have to pay penalty taxes on top of the car's list price when buying new between 20.000 and 75.000 US$ in some countries (Austria, Netherlands).
Almost impossible to own a luxury car in Italy today...
Most EU countries are very strict now about CO2 and charge thousands of €€€ of penalty charges on top of more expensive gas.

PS: still lots of fun to drive especially on the Autobahn or curvy mountain roads!
PSPS: not a lot of muscle cars in Germany. I think we still have much less than 1000 5th generation Camaros on German roads.
PSPSPS: even more expensive compared to the typical German Volswagen Golf (or even smaller Polo or Up) the car is much mor affordable compared to Audi, BMW or Mercedes with less power since the German list price is very low compared to similar powered sports or touring cars. The most affordable new car with a V8 over here.
