1985 Chevrolet Camaro Sport Coupe review from North America
"Just because it doesn't say (SS, Z-28, or IROC-Z) it makes the Sport Coupe a sleeper to the ignorant"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Drivers side seat tilts to the left, and doesn't sit up all the way.
Steering can be tricky at higher speeds on a windy day.
Suspension seems to be very loose, and as a result you you seem to feel every bump. It's almost like your bouncing down the road. Speedometer seems to bounce and is hard to keep at a steady speed.
Automatic Transmission shifts hard, and doesn't kick in when it should at lower speeds. Gas pedal may be contributing to this.
Seat belts don't always re track all so smoothly.
All in all most of these things can be easily fixed with a little bit of time and money.
...oh yeah my insurance is ridiculous, but I find it completely worth it.
General comments?
My 1985 Camaro Sport Couple handles and will give you a nice rush when you step on the gas pedal. I have many plans in store for this car in the near future. Best thing is that it is so easy to find affordable used parts that are in great shape.
I am truly proud to say that this is my very first car that I Owen and I pay for. It gives me just a little bit more motivation to keep working long hours and putting everything I have left after all the payments and gas money into making this great car even better!
