2002 Chevrolet Camaro Z-28 review from North America

"Best $22,000 I have ever spent"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

As the car is brand new I have not experienced any problems as yet.

General comments?

This car has blistering acceleration to the tune of 12.96@106.9 miles per hour. That is bone stock with nothing but Nitto drag radials. The Borg and Warner T-56 six-speed transmission is perfectly geared for road racing especially with the 3.42:1 rear gear. However for street drag racing namely rolling starts it can be hard to find the power band. The shifter can also be rather vague, making it difficult to catch third and sixth. Traction on the street is a major problem with stock tires. The car also has very predictable handling. When overdriven it throws its back-end out in a way guaranteed to bring a smile to your face. The interior is much improved over the 1993 to 1996 models, but still suffers from a cheap plasticy look. The seats and general ergonomics are rather good however and definitely hold you in place during aggressive driving. The T-tops are also a must for these cars. They open them up and provide very nice air flow on those warm summer nights.
