Used 1997 Chevrolet Camaro for Sale near Chicago, IL

All the raw power you have at your fingertips. It just never ends. destroy all rice rockets that comes in front hit. plus the supercharger is awesome. it hits you right when you need it the most and thats what i like about this car

I love the way it accelerates and corners. The 3.8L v6 has plenty of potential.

The preformance was solid, I love the acceleration, nothing too obnoxious but it gets the job done when you're having some fun between the lights. Breaking's pretty standard, although the breaks in the front need replacing and I haven't gotten around to it yet. Handles real well, I've thrown it around corners pretty haphazardly and never experienced much of an issue. It's built pretty solidly although I frequently hear about Camaro's rattling themselves apart, I've yet to have an issue though. Cost of ownership? Pretty cheap, I mean, I got it after it spent many a long day sitting in someone's driveway collecting dust and developing issues like dry rotted tires and crap gathering in the coolant. It gets pretty good gas milage, but, it is a V6 RWD vehicle that does a good job of making it hard to not give it more gas when leaving from a red light. And on that note, is the car fun to drive? Heck yeah? It's a 30th anniversary Camaro with T-tops! Any day the weather's above 75 is a blast. :] Try one sometime, you'll understand.

The Biggest fault with the 1997 Camaro= THE DRIVER. ( I broke it in half). Performance) In 97' It was one of the fastest cars you could buy for under 30k.Today they are still very competitive,stop great and handles just as good if not better than most of today's cars and they can be bought for under 5k. Build Quality) Good, only faults (optispark) if it get wet its toast and they are a pain to replace your first time.Rear ends on these cars are small/weak any power increases over stock and sticky tires its gunna break (6 spd. cars especially) Appearance) interior looks great love the interior of the car (fighter plane cockpit styling) havent owned any cars that i like better except maybe the 00' bmw z3.exterior it was designed for speed. the mustang of the same year is better looking ( but I have grown to love the imo stealthy look) Cost of ownership)Relitivly cheap V8 power 0-60 in around 5-6 sec with 23-27mpg on the highway Fun Factor) :D O Hell YEAH!!!

Definitely the best N/A six you can buy... stock it got upwards of 32 MPG on the highway, modded still up to 30 MPG. With a little help from removing 150 lbs and a cam/headers/exhaust it's good for a 0-60 of 5.8 seconds (computer verified) and 1/4 mile in the mid 14's... It's pushing about 215Hp at the wheels. The car is well balanced and the chassis/body accomodates some seriously wide tires (up to 315mm) that can give it heart stopping grip in the corners. Overall, the car is just a blast to drive at a bargain price... easily had for $3k these days in decent shape. All the performance and fun aside, the engine/transmission are still going strong at 177k miles without a rebuild. The 3800 Series II is bullet proof. My only complaints would be that the interior has some cheap plastic that is easily damaged/rattles a little and that the rear end can't take more than occasional abuse at stock power levels... this car is on it's third rear end and it doesn't even have a V8.
