1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z 28 review from North America
"Worth every penny"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Warped rotors, twice although they were finally replaced with no hassle from the dealership.
Blown clutch (my fault).
Window motors going out.
General comments?
I love this car. It is by far and away the fastest car I could've bought for the money. Also I can make it a lot faster for just a little bit of money.
Bottom line, this car has been great. I will admit that the drivetrain is lacking some durability. With an upgraded clutch and some sticky tires you're going to be hunting for a new rearend before long. The transmissions in the LT1 cars seemed to be a bit beefier than those that are in the LS1's. The few small problems I have had with this car are completely forgotten when I mash the gas pedal and take it through the gears going well over the speed limit with three gears still to go.
I almost forgot to mention the T-tops, I can't believe more cars don't have these. The T-tops do nothing but help the experience. In my honest opinion my car is the best car you can get for the money.
