1985 Chevrolet Camaro F41 review from North America
"A powerful and well built American Machine"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The typical things have gone wrong with this car since it is 18 years old.
The seat belt broke, belts broke, rust, it was wrecked once and etc.
However, the car has always bounced back with full force.
The car has balls and is a demon of its own. I strongly recommend this car.
Just don't drive it in the winter, ha ha. I have some good stories about that... (let's just say, get a long rope and tie it to the front wheels, and steer it like a sled!) :-)
General comments?
The car is now a member of our drag race team in western PA. A new engine and paint job has made this car the meanest and most reliable car at the strip. The car runs in the 10s at 150mph+.
The only compliant I have, when I drove it as a regular car the tops leaked big time and the engine light was always on. When it was diagnosed it said the O2 sensors needed replaced. Well, after they were replaced, it kept saying they needed replaced. Who knows...
