1998 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 Convertible review from North America

Front rotors warped at 33,000.

Window motors went at 41,000.

Starter went bad at 49,000.

Convertible began leaking bad at 45,000.

Hard to catch 3rd and 6th gear when revving it to the red line and shifting fast.

Well, I have a lot of complaints about this car. First of all, I owned a 80's Camaro and it was a decent car at best. The 98 Z28 Convertibles are OK brand new, but the age very quickly.

Undeniable, the car is fast in stock form, but it only has straight-line acceleration. Only cars that are much more expensive can beat this car. Mustang GT's are an even match, though it seems.

Unfortunately, the car handles like garbage. If you give it any throttle at all around a corner the tail-end slides around and whips back VERY jerky if you let off of the throttle. Giving it more throttle simple makes you loose control. It's a big, sluggish car and is definitely NOT BUILT TO TAKE CORNERS.

I also feel very mundane at stoplights, seeing as how you see Camaros EVERYWHERE. Though a large portion of them are the V6 models, you don't feel too much different in an V8 droptop.

It's also a very big car and feels a bit unnatural with power steering. You feel almost disconnected from the car.

The low-down? The car is fast, but not very sport. It's extremely unstable at high-speeds and fails to draw attention. As well, though I take very good care of my cars, this one seems to give me the most problems and its one of the newest.
