I've Put A Lot Of Work And Money In This Car And I Think Every Ounce I Put Into It Was Worth It — It has enough power to be more than a daily driver, but it also has great fuel efficiency. After a few mods the overall performance is great which makes it fun to drive. With the magnaflow exhaust and the cars design it has a race car feel to it. Lots of fun.

Kathy Is A Great Car And Will Take Care Of Me As Long As I Do The Litte Bit Upkeep She Heeds — had the car for 2 years now. the stock motor was alright but could be better so edelbrock LT-4 kit (part # 2019) was a must along with eagle 383 kit (part # B13055L030). 4L60E trany was good but of course was made better with a 2500 stall, B&M shift kit mixed with the 4.10 rear end just made the car even more fun. a super charger would be sweet but well see

T-Tops, V8, fun

Brakes

Camaro Z28 Ss — Fast, fun and gets lots of looks. It's all stock except for the tint I added (5% limo tint on driver/passenger windows and the hatch). Mileage...I didn't buy it for that...There are a few minor things cosmetically but it's to be expected for a 13 year old car...Acceleration is all that you would think for a v8, the handling is great but I need to upgrade the brakes for better stopping power...as the fun factor...it's spectacularly awesome.

Awesome Car For The Price — I like this car, but im changing out the engine so I haven't really gotten to take it out much. The exterior is beautiful and the interior is nice too, but the drive train needs fixed, hopefully in the next week

Love It...better With The V8 Though. — Great car... pretty fast v6 and very fun for a first car. I love the style of the exterior. It's very classy. It gets decent gas mileage and whips the asses of ricers... one problem, not a v8. I love it though.

Excellent Racing Car. — Quick car. Not the best looking, but doesn't matter to me. Beats Mustangs, Fact. Gets alright gas mileage, usually 14-18 mpg around the city. Very fun car to drive, also has excellent handling. I would recommend this car to anyone.
