It's a camaro?

Cons

Gas?

Best Car I've Owned — I love my Z28, Handles well for a car of it's time, The swapped engine has PLENTY of power. Love the look and feel. Breaks well, Fantastic acceleration. Isn't great on gas, but if you aren't flooring it, it isn't actually that bad. Most fun I've ever had in a car.

1980 Camaro Z-28 (350) — Great: handling, acceleration, style, verry fun to drive! Good: breaks, interior, overall quality. Poor: Gas mileage, heal to toe ration on gas peddle.

Beautiful lines, classic, stands out.

High insurance, poor gas milage, blown up

1980 Camaro Z28 — It's a great car. It doesn't run, but what can you expect from 215000 miles of red necked torture. It's lines look gorgious. The only problem is the automatic transmission. That'll change soon though. It was great to drive before gas was $3.00/gallon and before I blew it up. Now, I can only drive-down hill.

Beatcha! — What can I say? It was my first sports car!! It wasn't beautiful but it was still a Camaro! It got me and my brother from Edmonton to calgary in just "under" 2 hours! That was also the trip that blew up 2 cylinders and the oil pump:(

not as fast as it used to be, some problems with the paint

My Baby — well it used to be fast, until i changed the rear end for gasoline reasons. it had its bad days as well, a few wrecks and dings, none of which by me. 1 by my sis, one by my dad, 1 by my friend, and one by the owner before me. its got a nice 350 in it but it definitely could use some help in the horsepower department

Fun To Drive With Alot Of New Features. — I bought my first Camaro (used) when I turned 18. It was fun to drive and had alot of new features. I liked the looks and performance of this new Camaro body-style. Away with the chrome bumpers and some of the trim pieces. I especially like the dash and the instrument cluster. I would drive around town and most of my friends would ask if they could have a ride since I was the only one with a sporty car. It was a good car that didn't break down very often.

Fabulous, Fun, Sharp, And Cool By joelsss

My 2002 Camaro SS is the last of the true Camaros, not an over sized Ausie Holden G8 or GTO remake. It is a fun car to drive with more than enough power(345 hp) to get you there in a hurry and yet do... Read More
