It's the best, quickest, and hottest!!!   I've added many parts, in which i refuse to go into detail with. Comes complete with 18" wheels and an Alpine DVD system.   I'm looking to add lambo doors and bigger brakes this coming summer.   Whats there to hate? NOTHING!! loves the name of this game!!!

Pros — Power through the floor!!
Cons — Sealed Headlights

The car is a t top.
Although the car isnt too offel fast its a good looking car and now that ive added a flowmaster exaust, spectre cone filter, MSD coil packs,Accel wires and pacesetter headers the car is probably pushing between 250hp to 275 hp.
The car is flame red.
I personally love the car.

Pros — T-top

The car overall is a great driver and performer. The car has 300 horsepower and a great suspension setup along with big wide tires and some good brakes to keep the car on the road. Howeve the car is very expensive to drive. Fro exaple only one tire costs around $200 and it gets around 16mpg if u drive normally.

Pros — Fun and Fast
Cons — Too expensive

Reviewing: 1996 Used Chevrolet Camaro 2 Dr Z28 SS Hatchback

The 1996 Chevrolet Camaro is available in six models: Camaro (base), RS, and Z28, each as a 2-door coupe or convertible. Safety features include dual airbags, an anti-lock brake system (ABS), side window defrosters and 1997 side-impact protection. The standard engine on base and RS models is a 200-horsepower 3.8-liter V6 engine, an increase of 40 horsepower over 1995. The Z28 features a 285-horsepower 5.7-liter V8 engine and a standard 6-speed manual transmission. Available only on Z28 models, a new SS package increases horsepower to 305, adds an aggressive-style hood scoop, and upgrades the suspension on the coupe.

Pros — the 5.7 thingy !!  ''I mean the LT1''
Cons — The only problems that I have with the Z28 is the interior parts, like the door switches, they are a little cheesy and fragile.

It's only a v-6 but it still has power.  Turning at high speeds works very well, the car doesn't do a lot of shifting.  The appearance is o.k.  The paint is good and everything but I like the look of the old '67 the best.  I think it's a very fun car to drive.  I've got Magnaflow so it at least sound decent.  I wish I could get the GTP's supercharger on it cause it the same engine (3.8 L 3800 series II) but it wont fit.  I usually get 29 mpg so for a sports car, thats pretty good considering the Mustangs only get 24 at the best (usually).   Its all around been a good car.

Pros — Good gas milage for a sports car.
Cons — GM's electical wiring and every sucks.

I can't dislike much about as its actual cost was 18,000 dollars. For a car with such a vast aftermarket and Powertrain, its unbeatable. it has its drawback like a weak Rear differential (never had an issue though), extremely cheap plastic (crap the car was cheap) so... Everything is in its due place...

This car is so much fun. I still get the same feeling driving it that i did when i bought it which is pure bliss.

Pros — Amazing car for the money. Gobs of torque, destroys Mustangs.
Cons — Interior could be better
