This Year's Model Updates:

Chevrolet dumps a 305-horsepower version of the Corvette's V8 engine under a new front end, adds standard four-wheel disc brakes on all models, adds a couple of new colors, makes second-generation airbags standard and revises trim levels. The midyear SS package makes 320 horsepower.

Pros:
  • Great acceleration and looks for a low price.
Cons:
  • Cave-like interior with top up. Outward visibility with top up. Cheap interior plastics.

    This car is a bargain, even when new. The only reason they didnt sell is because GM didnt put any marketing effort into them for the last 4 years. However, what they lacked in marketing was made up by engineering- the LS-1 engine is sweet and efficient, a real sleeper. Handling and braking are awesome. This car is 95% Vette at 1/2 the price. Ive had no problems with the car. Even the t-tops dont leak like in older GM models. The only complaint I have is minor- the plastic interior panels scratch easily. All car reviews show no performance improvement with the SS- save your $

  • 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.

  • 98 Camaro Z28 - 1998 Chevrolet Camaro
    By -

    I bought this vehicle pre-owned with 48,000 miles on it. So far my experience has been nothing but fantastic. The car runs like a dream. No problems so far, and no problems in the past to my understanding. The ride is almost comparable to my Buick Reatta as far as comfort. It has plenty of power under the hood, yet its whisper quiet until you punch it. Some of the interior controls feel cheap, but they are very simple to operate. The t-tops dont leak! The stock stereo is ok, but nothing terribly special Overall Id say its a magnificent car for the price. Plenty of power, great ride, tons of fun.

  • The Last American Sports Car - 1998 Chevrolet Camaro

    Amid a host Italian and New Jersey jokes I bought by 98 camaro as a step up from my 93 Eagle Talon. 106,00 miles and 4 1/2 years later and I can only sing the praises of this vehicle. The styling is fantastic and GM did it without a bunch of plastic glued to the doors. The v6 200 horse engine has more power than most cars on the road today - and while it wont compare off the line to its bigger engined brothers the Z28 and SS it can easily handle speeds of 80 and higher on the highway and still get 30+ miles to the gallon. This car hugs corners like nothing Ive ever driven. I opted for the v6 200 horse only because of insurance costs.

    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!!!

  • Cant Beat it! - 1998 Chevrolet Camaro
    By -

    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!

  • Bang for UR Buck - 1998 Chevrolet Camaro

    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.

    Fun car to drive...have had a few minor problems that were fairly simple to fix. Handling could be better, but only noticable when pushing the car to its limits.
