1994 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 review from North America
"A barn-burner, fun while it lasts, wouldn't get one with high mileage"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Oscillating noise from front tires was diagnosed as bad wheel hubs and replaced under warranty at 30,000 miles.
Air conditioner went out at 120,000 miles.
Shifter cable broke under warranty and was fixed.
Brakes seemed to be a trouble spot of the car and needed more more work than is usual for a car.
Water pump went at 115,000 miles and took the Opti-Spark with it, a problem they fixed on later models.
General comments?
Car was an absolute beast and a hoot to drive. It's a shame GM made it look like a cheap rental car inside if they'd have finished it right it would have outsold the Mustang since it was the better car.
Car started to feel tired perhaps a little sooner than it should have, but despite not aging gracefully it held together until 120,000 miles.
Appreciated the solid feel of the chasis, steering was nice and heavy, doors had a nice thunk to them. Car felt like it was idling at 80mph on the highway, smooth.
Immediately after I sold it dumb kid got drunk and smashed it into a tree at high speed and the car held up well and airbags saved his life.
