Great Car Not Recamended For New Drivers. — Performance - acceleration is great, gets right off the line no problem, braking is okay as it is but i need to replace the master cylinder and bleed them alot, handling is great very surprised Build Quality - has it needed repairs? needed no major repairs Appearance - out side need paint and inside needs a new dash witch i have and will be puting in as soon as i get the other car parted out Cost of Ownership - gas mileage sucks on this car its a 305 5.0L and i plan i to put proformence heads, cam, intake, carb, roller rockers. and .100 longer push rods. Fun Factor -this car is the funnest car i think in driving. the back end if you pin it will start sliding to your right and it drifts great. btw i am only 17 and this is my first car.

Pros

They are overall a nice design and there are not that maney of them left so they are not common.

Cons

They have a tendency to have alot of rust in the rear frame rails and floor pans.

They Were The Cars Of My Youtha Nd I Have Always Liked The Z/28 Version..... — What I like about this car, it is old and it has potential to be a very nice peice of automotive art. What I do not like about it is the old technology some of the 80's ugly and the fact that it is going to cost me alot of cash to put it the way I want it. I want to mix it up, old and new.... a 383 stroker, Hotchkis Suspension 4 wheel disk breaks, rack and pinion steering, 17 inch wheels, lower it 2 inches, older interior, newer gauge cluster, Black, Pweter, Red with red interior. Leather/ Sued interior, full dual exhaust, pollished tips and a hidden modern sound system. Power windows, door locks, trunk, mirrors, air conditioning, fuel injected and quick.

Its Dead Sexy And Its Not A Ricer — My 1980 Chevrolet Camaro is sexy thanx to mine and Bradys restoration job and my engine and transmission overhaul just needs the interior done and some extra necessary mods ;) yes because all mods are necessary like a 6 speed tranny, supercharger, 411 posi differential, 5 spoke aftermarket wheels and finished exhaust just off the top of my head

Gunna Rip — The stock 350 is only 190 horses and that pushing a 3660 lb car doesn't come out to great performance. About 16 seconds flat in the quarter but I have a second 350 in it now which is supposed to be around 310 horses and the suspension is good and 350 block has serious potential. Working the engine now to displace 408 cubic inches and pump out about 600 horses naturally aspirated. I plan on putting nitrous either way but if I decide to supercharge it too I'm planning for 8 to 900+ horses. T56 tranny wit a dana 60 rear with 4.11 gears and a detroit locker. Koni shocks with 4 wheel slotted and vented discs around. Single driver's racaro racing seat with 4 point seat belt. Performance clutch, cut out exhaust, cat-back system for normal driving. It's going to be one mean Z28.
