1989 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z28 review from North America
"This car ROC (s) -Z"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I had to replace the brake rotors, but that's routine maintenance, so no biggie. Also, the exhaust pipe fell off, which is semi-weird because it wasn't rusted at all. This car was in a bad wreck... i mean BAD... i seriously smashed it up within an inch of its vehicular life. $6400 later, it drives so fabulously that you'd never know it was in a crash. The only thing that went wrong - and I'm sure that this is an effect of the accident - is that my mass airflow something or another failed. That was only $200 to fix, however, which is tolerable.
General comments?
This car is freaking incredible. It turns like it is on rails and shifts lanes effortlessly when cruising the freeways at 90 miles an hour. I don't race it, but it is F-A-S-T. The gas mileage is marginal, and it needs premium fuel, so be prepared to have your pocketbook violated slightly. It's got more torque than anyone should have use for. Gotta love rear wheel drive vehicles. However, they don't go for beans in the snow, and if and when you have to replace the tires, be prepared to shell out over a grand.
