Ive had two Camaros in my day. First one was an 83 Z28 with a five speed an posi in the rear. We ripped out the 305 it came with and dropped an 85 350 out of a Corvette into it. Was red, had T-Tops and was a magnets for cops. This was a fun car all and all. Had it up to 135MPH out in the desert one afternoon. The only problem we ever had with this one was an overheating problem. It would only do it on super hot days while idling or moving slowing.
Camaro number two was a 98 red Z28, auto w/ T-Tops. We didnt have this car very long. Only a few months. I got it since I thought it would be a lot of fun to have a car again, but I got board with it farley quick. It was a ROYAL pain to work on, and all though it was fun to drive, it really didnt do any thing for me. I went back to my Jeep and never looked back.
Both cars were fun for awhile, but they were not for me
As was said, they dont corner all that well. They fell big, at least big from what you would think they would be. Both cars had great steering, but it still felt like I was driving a huge car. The only thing I didnt like about either one was, it had no weight in the back. It was so easy to light the tires up, you could do it with out trying very hard at all.
If you want a car to show off, a Camaro is good. If I had the time I would like to have another 3rd gen. I think they looked better, and was a lot easier to work on. More room under the hood. The 4th gen was nice and all, but just didnt have the same appeal to me. Im only 22 and would rather have another road trip car (I miss my LS400) again. The Camaro is fun to mess around with, but not some thing I would want to drive across county with again.
