    I bought a showroom floor model back in 1997 and have not looked back since. It has been an extremely fun car to drive and has been very reliable. The gas mileage is not that great, but I expected that. It is too bad that the line was discontinued as it is a much better car than the mustang.

    as a mechanic for a G.M. dealership, ive found that we VERY rarely see the Camaro or Corvette in the shop for any repairs other than the standard maintenance i.e. brakes, oil changes. The camaro has virtually the same engine (LS1) as the corvette just a minor de-tune so it doesnt compete on the corvette platform. Other than that said, the exterior is extremely attractive- even more with a skirt package, and the handling is magnificent! Stopping is remarkable given the 4 wheel disk brake set up and the interior is spacious in the front cabin. The rear seating is a little tight, but remember, this is a sports car!

  • The most fun Ive had in years - 1998 Chevrolet Camaro

    I have owned my 1998 Red Camaro, with its V-8 and T-Tops for about 18 months. But in that time my 2 teenage kids have decided that I am too cool. That for a single parent, made buying this car worthwhile. Its performance is awesome. I have pushed it up to 140 mph and felt safe. It corners great and it looks great. If a person wanted to look and feel good, get one!

    Overall the car is fun to drive. Pick- up and acceleration are awesome for a 6. As long as your sitting in the front the car is comfortable. The only real problem is the blind spots are huge, but i guess thats the story with all sports cars. Im extremely happy wit it.

    I love my 98 Chevy Camaro!Fun to drive ,handling is a little harsh,but do-able!I like the fact that it can dust just about any Mustang on the road!!!The respect I get from the little six and four cylinders,is un- believable!Its really a shame that Camaros are no longer being produced.Oh,well-at least I got mine!!!

    Well I love my Z28 and i would not consider any other car as far as performance goes for under 45k. The car is a absolute blast to drive. Not expensive to own just to insure, but my god is it worth it. I feel like i can take on anything with this beast. Fast as all Hell!

    The performance is great stock, with minor mods, you can be in the mid 12s with a stock engined car, and get 25 mpg to boot on the highway! Reliability has been excellent, with ZERO repairs required. Although I have a manual, adding a cam/head/headers turned this car into a real beast, with a best of 12.2 on street tires at the 1/4 mile. Phenomenal handling is also available on this car to 1G with tires and upgraded suspension components from the factory.
