1987 Chevrolet Camaro review from North America
"Very reliable and quick for the money.. now about my new tranny ratios haha"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
..let's see, the only real thing that has gone wrong is the ignition coil went bad from being so old, other than that it was stuff caused by me, breaking tranny mounts, but now I have a high performance one that doesn't break.
Oh and I think the cold start ignition crapped the bucket.
General comments?
Fun car, puts the imports in their place for being a V6, and old school at that, and heavy. My car's not stock, it has a chip and 1.6 roller rocker arms from comp in it.
The only real thing I hate about the car is the 3rd gear ratio being low. From going from 2nd to 3rd, it's stupidly low.
The car handles like a champ.
It does burnouts like nothing. Peg leg burnouts most of the time. Posi if I'm lucky haha.
Can chirp in 2nd, and only one time I chirped in 3rd.
Takes one hell of a beating.
