  • Been great for me! - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
    By -

    I bought this car new in 1996, V6-3.8L. Have logged 156K miles on it so far. Its been a great car. Typcial wear and tear on it (water pump, power steering pump, a/c compressor so far). Rear axle had to be replaced at 70K as it had some bad bearings. Something other buyers may want to look at. Solid car though, and Ive been happy to own it.

    Good overall car. I have owned it for about 2 and 1/2 years, and only had one major problem. The slave cylinder in the transmission and clutch went out at out 90,000 miles.

    I read the other reviews about buy a Mustang, Viper, etc. Who want 70hp less for more money in the Mustang, and want to pay 7 time more for a Viper? My Z28 has been great to me. I have had it for 2 years and 25k miles. Replaced waterpump and power steering pump, and thats all. My other problems were related to instlling of my headers, ie. burnt plug wires. Fun to drive, eventhough its an auto, leather interior is very comfortable. I dont know what the other reviewers were talking about bad interior and uncomfortable, they must of had cloth. T-tops do not leak and aftermarket exhaust is a must.

  • Its worth it - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
    By -

    I just purchased a used 96 RS model, I am a young guy, I am 20.I look young also,hence, the cops here are all over me.Ive been pulled over in my RED camaro about 5 times in the last 3 months.Most of the times for no reason at all, or they would give some lame excuse.This car gets attention !! I believe its worth it though, it handles great,it is fast,and i get a lot of compliments on it

    fun to drop the foot but all around this car is making me tiresome. pretty slick sitting inside but its not comfortable. you sit on the ground and the seats tire you on long rides. one stupid place to put a cat on the floor. becoming a boring body style. new style looks better. after only 78K miles i have dealt with a water pump break opti- spark and starter problem. dont forget how ingenius it was to put the opti- spark under the water pump. car is on sale and im looking to see how comfortable the newer zs might be. also looking towards ford to see the mustangs, can be fast too. i hear they are a better fit. camaros are fast but nothing else

  • 5 LITRE EATER - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
    By -

    I BOUGHT THE CAR WITH 117,000 MILES ON IT, HAVE REPLACED OPTISPARK, COIL, AND OTHER IGNITION COMPONENTS. IT EXPENSIVE TO MAINTIAN, HOWEVER WHEN RUNNING 100%, SMOKES NEW 02 GT MUSTANGS LIKE ITS GOING OUT OF STYLE.13.87 AT 102.3 TRAP, STOCK WITH BRAND NEW STICKY TIRES. THE LT-1 HAS A AWESOME POWERBAND, WITH 123,000 MILES HAD A COMPESSION TEST DONE RUNS 122-137 PSI PER CYLINDER, ANYTHING OVER 100PSI IS GOOD COMPRESSION. THE MOTORS ARE BULLITPROOF AND WILL LAST OVE 200K IF TAKEN CARE OF. JUST BE READY FOR SOME ELETRICAL PROBLEMS.

  • Fun but not reliable - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
    By -

    I bought this car used with 40000 miles. Had problems with head lights , power windows and rear gasket seal after first 3 months. Needless to say I am not happy. Driving this car is a blast. Fast and handles great, a real head turner in black especially. Youll have to decide which outweighs the other, headaches or headturner.
