The Holden Utes are seen as alternatives to cheap two door sports performance. Nobody ever buys them to haul serious loads. To that end, I think it would have been and ideal vehicle to send to NA. People sometimes just want something different, so it might be another opportunity lost for GM...

No, that's not my intention. 
Btw, the Ford (FPV) F6 will leave the HSV GTS in a straight line and it's also a damn fine car (for a 4.0L turbo six
).
But my basic point is this (and I've stated this many times already), there are more goodies on the shelf for Camaro, should GM be willing to exploit that development path.
When I said better cars, it was only tongue in cheek, as there is nothing potentially as good as Camaro if GM would build it every bit as well as HSV.
The AP 4 or 6 pot racing brakes and the lowered, sports suspension would be ideal enhancements for Camaro, that would serve only to improve its on track credibility.
