2002 Chevrolet Camaro SS review from North America
"A small price to pay for a super-car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The Camaro had a bad driver side speaker when I drove it home from the dealer. The dealer fixed it under warranty.
General comments?
The LS1 V8 is a very powerful engine.
The 6 speed allows one to spend more time in the engines power band.
The Camaro does not handle as well as my corvette, but it handles better than any mortal driver can appreciate.
This car responds very well to modification. Little things like air filters can make a noticeable difference.
If things like cup holders and heated, million-way adjustable seats matter to you, this is not the car for you.
If things like big V-8's, tire smoke and intimidating, function ram air hoods matter to you, then consider this car. If you can find one.
