The Camaro underwent a significant restyling for the 1998 model year while still retaining the strength under the hood which has kept it as America's classic pony car. It comes standard with a 3.8-liter V6 and is rated at 200 horsepower. The Z28 brings a 5.7-liter V8 for more power and a more Corvette-like feel.
A great thing about Camaros is that they can get you out of carpool duty; the back seat is virtually useless for anything other than grocery bags. Conversely, if your aim is to bring several friends with you everywhere you go, this might not be the car for you. Like the Corvette, this machine wraps itself nicely around the driver while paying less attention to the comfort of other drivers, including the passenger who must contend with a large hump at his or her feet.
All in all, the Camaro offers great bang for the buck. It has been rumored that the Camaro can take an evenly matched Mustang off the line.
What owners say
"Overall, Camaros from 1998 receive high praise for their performance and fun driving experience. Owners enjoyed the powerful engines, especially the V8 options, and many highlighted the sporty design and responsive handling. However, some pointed out issues with build quality, such as cheap interior materials and common maintenance problems. The car is often seen as a thrilling ride but may not be the best choice for daily driving in harsh weather conditions."

June 29, 2008This car is an american dream for the horsepower enthusiast. Its very easy to modify and make loads of power. Their fairly easy to find and are very cost efficient for power. Gas mileage is their downfall but there is no true price on power and the smile your right foot brings you!
June 27, 2008Fast, quick, stops on a dime. Corners aren't so fun unless you punch it and slide the rear end out, high speed turns are a bad idea. Car isn't a BMW, so the materials are cheaper, still looks great, and is built well for what it cost. Half the car is fiberglass, and that doesn't dent. Cost is cheap, easy and cheap to fix, and work on. Fun factor for the Auto: 7 out of 10.
January 27, 2011Nice top down cruiser. 330 Horse is all you need.
November 28, 2007The gets up and goes very well. The spoiler paint does not seem to be holding up as well as other parts of the car. The paint is very nice both from a distance and up close. This car is the most fun to drive out of anything I have ever driven!
November 26, 2011love the performance but not the cheap parts GM used to build it. already put in more than $2500. gas mileage sucks since i cant keep my foot out of it. appearance is pretty good. could be spruced up a bit.
November 2, 2009Great car, fastest car ever owned. Loved the T-Tops. Ir performed like a beast but could still be a good everyday driver. It was great on gas for a 5.7L 355hp V8. Was a sad day when it was sold.
September 21, 2009When he bought it, it had the SLP package with around 300hp and flow master exhaust. Now it has a 383 stroker with all types of goodies cranking out around 600hp.
