2000 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 review from North America
"High power, low price"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Front rotors needed to be turned at 30000 miles.
Has a vibration in the front end on right turn accelerations. The dealer has no idea why.
General comments?
If you want speed, this is the car for you. Freeway on ramps will never be the same. I have not taken this car to its top speed, but I am sure it will do every bit of the 155mph speedometer. 0-60 in just over 5 seconds and the quarter in around 13. Not bad for a car straight of the lot and nothing added.
T-tops are awesome. Open up and let the air in.
T-56 six speed is a lot of fun to drive, unless you are in rush hour traffic in Seattle. Skip shift stinks though. Always wants to come on when you are accelerating up hill. Talk about bogging down. Chevy could have left out that one thing.
Traction control is a nice option, especially on rainy days, which we seem to have a lot of in the North West.
Front seats are OK, could use lumbar support and a better headrest. Back seats are somewhat useful. I cannot sit back there, but my wife has and says it is not too bad. Best only for kids.
Do not even think of going on a trip where you will bring more than one bag. The "trunk" is very small and is only a hole between the wheels in the back.
