1983 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 review from North America
"Crazy insane styling and performance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Starter was just replaced.
Rear End rattles a bit.
Header gaskets
Collector gaskets.
Camaro print seats are showing wear (lots)
Heater is stuck on full blast
Piston and Oil rings.
General comments?
For $900 Canadian, this car has never left me on the side of the road, and the tired 350 still has enough thunder left in it to roast the odd rice rocket. Top speed in my car (at red line) was 210 km per hour. Cornering is a lot of fun with this car, however you seem to have to keep the throttle mashed down quite a bit to keep the front end from diving too much... this car is like a skate board!
