1998 Chevrolet Camaro 3800 Series review from North America

Nothing real horribly expensive that comes along with having a car you hate for 5 long, agonizing years.

1) Engine problem= about $300

2) Bad Belt Tensioner= about $150

3) Something that made the engine overheat, can't remember what it was though= about $150

4) Bad water pump which I still have so therefore it's $0.

5) Bad catalytic converter again which I still have= $0.

6) Several dozen bad blinker bulbs, probably because the battery overcharges for some reason= a total of about only $70 or $80 over a 5 year period.

The reason I hate this car and have actually hated this car since I got it way back on 12/31/00 has been because it's a damn 6-cylinder rather than an 8-cylinder. Had this 1998 Camaro coupe all this time been a red Z28, then I would've loved this car way back then and to this day. I wanted an 8-cylinder from the get go.

I can't wait 'till this car becomes completely undrivable. Recently, I took it to a mechanic because it was running odd one day. After the mechanic inspected it for $30, he told me that that noise I've been hearing under the hood is the engine knocking. He said it won't be long 'till this car that I despise so much becomes undrivable by probably having the engine blow up. I can't wait 'till that happens because when it does, I'm gonna finally take it to the junkyard rather than waste $800 getting it fixed and finally get an 8-cylinder sports car, and it WILL be an 8-cylinder sports car that I want.

Sports cars shouldn't have 6-cylinder engines because they don't have that same performance that you can only get with an 8-cylinder. 6-cylinder sports cars aren't real sports cars. When it comes to performance, they suck. If you're looking for that V8 power and instead get a 6-cylinder sports car, you'll be EXTREMELY dissapointed, take it from me.
