1997 Chevrolet Camaro Z-28 review from North America
"This is a good representation of what a modern muscle car should be"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The driver's side power door lock and power window control housing came loose from the door panel.
There are some rattles from loose plastics in the dash, as well as one from a loose antenna.
The car may overheat if second fan is not manually turned on (to do this just turn the air conditioning on).
General comments?
The Z-28 is an ultimate driving machine. Not only does it come from the factory with impressional horsepower, the Camaro's 350 cubic inch engine has been around for along time. With the advent of fuel injection the engine is more reliable and fuel efficient to meet modern standards.
Also, being able to modify the car with high performance aftermarket products makes owning the Z-28 heavenly.
