Overtaking in a 'wrong'-hd car is quite possible, in fact it forces a better technique. These clowns who get real close behind before taking a peek and then trying to deal with the decision/consequences are a menace. In GB for example, in an LHD car, you just sit back, get a good view ahead (you can often look along the inside of the vehicle in front as well) and select your place for passing and the correct gear before any action takes place. Actually passing the other vehicle is the least important part of the process, it's the planning that is critical and if you get that right, there is no drama. The net result is that you have a better view and are on the opposite side of the road for less time with a much smoother course in the process.
Evidently though, overtaking is now considered morally indefensible in GB, just a small step behind kiddy-fiddling, and the overtakee feels justified in any kind of action to prevent, hinder or punish the one overtaking. If they found out where you lived, they'd organise rent-a-mobs with badly-spelled placards too. The only viable solution I found to this was to leave the country. I can now overtake and be overtaken all day long if I choose with just the occassional British tourist to cause me problems.
As for the Camaro, it's all about costs, and for the volumes involved, it makes sense not to make RHD.
