1995 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 review from North America
"Great Ride, Fun To Drive"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Had to replace the water pump at around 80,000 miles, cost $500.
Mice chewed trough wires two years in a row, close to $100 each time.
Runs the battery dead during winter. Easily fixed by removing for the winter.
General comments?
Other than the water pump, the car has run strong. The 6 speed manual is a must. This is great when you want to jump off the line or run @2000 rpm doing 80 on the freeway. I was able to get 23 Mpg on a regular basis.
The only modification I put on it is SLP exhaust, it looks and sounds mean. The skip shift in first gear is a pain, but you learn to work around it or you can pay for a chip to bypass.
All in all this is a great ride. It is a lot of fun crusin' with the T-tops off on a nice day.
