1989 Chevrolet Camaro RS Convertible review from North America
"This is my gunmetal baby"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
1 Thermostat
1 Exhaust system
1 Convertible top
2 Struts
1 Spindle
4 Tires
1 Transmission
1 Rear
2 Brake Pads.
Most of these things were changed before they actually needed to be because I replaced them with high performance parts.
General comments?
The car handles really well, although, the high performance suspension parts I have on it help tremendously.
It's too slow, the TBI is lethargic at best. It gets great gas mileage though.
The convertible squeaks and rattles a lot more than a t-top or hardtop model.
The 700r4 automatic is very indecisive when it comes to gear changes, which prompted me to replace it with a manual.
The dash is ugly and is put together very poorly.
I love this car and will never ever sell it.
