Car Has Balls! — Be under no illusions that this is a fast car, it isnt. Ill get that right out of the way, if your looking for a quick car, buy a WRX. This car is old, its a classic and should be treated like one. Mine in particular is the Indy Pcae Car. Its a smogged engine rated south of 170 Bhp. However, I can honestly say that I am completely in love with this car. It very reliable, stunningly beutiful, and for the price, I dont think any other car would have been quite as much fun as this car. I always have a good time driving, taking the t-tops off and cruising around. I get around 15 mpg. Overall, if 2-3K is burning a hole in your pocket, this is not a bad way to spend it. |

More Fun Than A Barrel Of Monkeys ... — This was my second car in the world. I purchased it after giving my sister my first 1980 Chevrolet Camaro. I had full reign to find what I wanted, but buy within my means. It was then that I found my two-toned 1982 Camaro IROC Z. I had a few fender benders and more than a couple tickets (my license was suspended) while enjoying this vehicle. It ended up being solid white with polished and painted 16" wheels (which were big in those days) with 315x35x16 tires. The hood had a working throttle flap that opened up at full throttle (which happened alot). It also had upgraded suspension and went around corners like it was on rails. I spent many days trying vigorously to recreate going around a corner like the "Dukes of Hazard" - sideways. I rebuilt the motor twice and replaced it once within the 5 years that I owned it. It was more fun than a barrel of monkeys and I'll always remember that car as my first real sportscar. Owner for 4 years, 11 months Miles Driven per Year:15,000 |

My First — This was my first car, so I will always have a special place in my heart for it. As she can see she needed some work, but when I got it I only paid $700.00 for it from a neighbor and mechanically she never gave me any problems, I just wish I still had her and was able to do all the cosmetic stuff. If I still had her she would be sexy by now! Primary Use: Sport/fun (spirited driving, track racing, off-roading, etc.) |

Boring — I was excited to own a Camaro, but was quickly disappointed. It had a rough ride and was noisy for a new car - a little like driving a truck. I love the classic Camaro's and the newest models are beautiful, but the in-between years are a let-down. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Great Car. Can Be Alot Of Work. — I have had this car for just over a year and a half. And I do have to say that I love it. When I bought this car is was from an old lady in Bowling Green KY. Since then I have had to but in a new transmission, and a new engine...twice!! And all of this happened right before I actually started to drive it! But thats not the point. I love this car. It has always been good to me. Primary Use: Commuting to work |

Bottom Line I Will Probably Never Get Rid Of This Car! — It is so much fun to drive.I have always loved this body style Camaro.The 2 tone, the graphic's. Many people say they didn't even know they made replica pace car's.Mine isnt stock under the hood, sound's healthy. My dad had one of these and he wish he had it back.

American Muscle At Its Finest — This car was a monster.Fast as heck and handling wasnt bad.Didnt need a single thing when i owned it not even rust on it.Appearance was ok with the interior needing some work and the car needing a paint job but.Very expensive on insurance inless you get collector car insurance and you can just watch your gas guage needle drop driving around the city.All in all this car was awesome and i would buy another one any day.

Very Great Car For Anything You Need It For. — My car is great! For some of the cars that are out today the gas milage is fair. It was built to last, all except for the engine. I am currently getting the Engine rebuilt. It had a knocking, turns out its just a regular engine, they get tired after awhile. This is a fun car to drive, very comfortable, and very efficient. I will probably never get rid of this car. Primary Use: Commuting to work |
