1990 Chevrolet Camaro RS review from North America
"A fully loaded, 91 RS t-top, with a 383 crate engine! nuff said"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Original 305 was plagued with electrical problems. The idle air sensor didn't get enough juice.
The electric fan didn't turn on automatically, thus I overheated when not running.
Cosmetics such as rear hatch motor quit on me.
Takes about 20 minutes to raise passenger side window.
I once lost a race with a cobra...
Now I have to wait and see how the brand new 383 crate engine is gonna behave, bring on all the fords...
General comments?
Now for the good stuff. The car always got me where I was going, fast. Never had an oil leak. Good gas mileage, all things considered. The paint job is great, all leather interior looks sweet with the t-tops down. The 4,000 watt sound system is the cherry on top. I recently upgraded from my friendly 305 (great little engine it will be missed a little at least) to a monster 383 crate engine and a drag racing automatic all controlled by a custom tuned hyper-tech performance chip, now instead of 15 second 1/4 miles, I can run them in 11's thanks to 520 Chevrolet bred ponies. I'm still looking for that cobra that left me eating nasty ford dust back when I was running the 170 hp 305... You might say it's not an original Camaro anymore, but nobody complained about Pamela Anderson's upgrades! I love my RS and the 383, and fiberglass hood scoop only add to my baby's beauty...
