  My Baby!!! - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
  By Hoffy1209 - March 11 - 3:18 am

  I bought her almost 5 years ago and she has been nothing but a blessing. I purchased my Camaro, after having a mechanic look at it, just to be sure, with 43,000 miles on the odometer. I changed the tires recently after my purchase, and bought a new battery. My Camaro is a Florida car so it had no rust underneath. My only major replacement on this car was a wheel sensor mod that went bad after 51,000 miles. I have no other problems to list, minor or major. I have really enjoyed my Camaro. It is by far one of the best cars ever built. It was genius that GM finally decided to put the 3.8 engines in the Camaro, which was in 96. The 3800 series engine is GMs best engine ever built.

  My First Muscle Car - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
  By droberts - November 10 - 1:38 pm

  This is my first V-8... Ive owned a Honda Accord, Acura Integra, and Infinti I30t... I was ready to try something radically different. The Camaro has been very fun.. I love the Power and the T-Tops. Doesnt have the build quality of the other cars Ive owned, but my other cars a lot more $$$ to buy. This car makes lots of odd noises... but if you push the gas pedal the cool sound of the V-8 drowns out all the other noises. Ive had one consistent problem with the car, which the dealer and other mechanics have been unable to resolve... the power is uneven on light engine load conditions... If It werent for this problem Id probably be in love with this car.

  Sad to see the ol girl go - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
  By Princess Pamela - September 14 - 2:00 am

  I bought my car right after college and it has seen me through the years. It has been the best! No problems other than usual wear and tear...water pump, alternator, plugs, window motor, front spoiler. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves an affordable, fun sporty car. I have decided to buy an SUV because of the nature of my job- having to transport bulky computers, etc... I would keep her til she fell apart if not. No one can believe the car is a 96...it still looks that good!

  Good Bye-Old Friend - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
  By coastalp - July 25 - 2:00 am

  This week, I must get rid of my baby. Ive put 175K miles on her. I lived thru her recall for the front spoiler and many repairs that were covered b/c I was smart enough to have bought the extended warranty. But, Ill NEVER buy another GM car b/c I had to spend so much time arguing about coverage. The girls loved my baby. She still gets a "Hey man, nice car" even after 8+ yrs. Ill miss her. She was a blast to drive. She needs a new rear end, brakes, windows motors, interior stitching and other cosmetics that I cant justify the investment. Im gonna miss her.

  my z28 - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
  By Beave2780 - July 11 - 2:00 am

  I bought my z28 four years ago after selling my 1988 iroc-z. The performance gains from the z28 and the iroc is unbelievable. Low 13 teens in 1/4 mile with mods (borla catback,K&n intake,3.73 gears). I love my car but now i want a SS.

  Love the car! - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
  By AmBeR - March 9 - 2:00 am

  A 1996 Z28 Hatchback Camaro is a great car! The car hugs the curves so your back end doesnt drift. It just really makes you feel like youre in control.

  Been great for me! - 1996 Chevrolet Camaro
  By GhostTX - March 8 - 2:00 am

  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.
