Fun to drive
The drive shaft was bent after I did a burnout, and the car wobbled a little bit, although it was a pretty easy fix.
Besides that, nothing has really gone wrong with the car.
Has some rust spots on the fenders.
Decently quick for its age.
The 4 speed manual is a lot of fun.

Muscle car
Electric windows are a little bit slow.
For a 1.5 tons, it's a very agile car. The noise and feeling when hitting the gas can't be found on other rides. That small block sounds like heaven, and the rear traction makes a whole adventure of a small trip.
The design, the rear window integrated to the form of the car, that huge nose and flat body make this ride a head turner. The "hugger" fits perfectly. Stang's of those years are no match for this ride.
It has a decent acceleration for a car of 27 years without major rebuilds, good handling and stability on highway. However, it really needs some space to brake. Wide tires are recommended (255/60 rear at minimum).
And, it's a 2 passenger car, no matter what GM says.

Best car I have and ever will own
Starter went out.
Alternator went out.
Master Cylinder went out.
Starter has gotten torqued to weird positions and caused grinding.
Paint and decals are chipping and peeling.
This car is my favorite car I have ever owned or driven.
It's looks and sound are enough to set it apart from anything else on the road.
The power the engine offers is not the most on the road, but it holds its own against many cars.
The interior is comfy, roomy, and very stylish.

Great Camaro
There has been a little rust to develop in the trunk. After I bought the car I rebuilt everything due to the fact that it sat in a field since 1987. The only thing to go since I bought the car was the waterpump, however, it was the one original piece I put back on the motor. The interior also rough, but it mostly sunrot from sitting in that field. Gas mileage is about 14mpg.
The Camaro is an extremely fast car. I get from 0-60 in about 5.5 seconds. It also handles very well for a near 2 ton car. The only car on the street I've lost to so far is a porche. It eats rice burners for breakfast too. If there is one thing I don't like about the car its the back seat, no room at all, but I never sit back there, so I don't worry about it. The car is very reliable. Before I rebuilt the motor it ran great. The most impressive thing about the car yet was when I got it. I found it in a field, put gas and a battery in it, turned the key, and it cranked right up. Great car, and I recommend it to any one interested in buying one.

Yup, the late 1970's was the era of emissions-strangled engines. Even Ferraris barely did 0 - 60 under 7 seconds.
He is either lying or his Camaro is modified (most likely).
My 80 z28 runs 12's in the 1/4 mile. No it's not stock, the motor isn't anyways... but only 110000kms on her so she's mint!
Strong Vehicle
The starter has died about 4 times during the life of the vehicle.
Air Conditioner no longer works.
Transmission was rebuilt once (around 100,000 miles)
Interior is pretty well worn (20+ years of use).
The car is rusting in several places.
This has been a great car for the 25 years I've owned it.
The Chevy inline motor has ran for over 350,000 miles and still runs strong.

There is no way that your car be even be close to stock if you can do 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. I owned a completely stock 1978 Z28 350 cu. inch. eng. with auto trans and that car never ran any faster than 8.1 sec. 0-60. 1980 consumer reports has the Z28 doing 0-60 in 8.5 seconds.
