1985 Chevrolet Camaro Berlinetta review from North America
"American muscle and style!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Turn signal "TAB" contacts broke, resulting in no turn signals.
Driver's side seat belt will not retract into the ceiling.
Just minor repairs otherwise.
General comments?
This car thinks it's a European sports car, and demands the treatment!! "Give me a tune-up once a year or else!!" On the flip side, it performs like one of those exotics as well. It corners like a sports car should! The ability for rapid acceleration is something that you have to experience at least once a week.
The car always gets noticed by everyone, most with a gratifying envy that only fellow Camaro owners will understand.
