1991 Chevrolet Camaro RS review from North America
"A great first sports car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My cylinder head cracked at 163000 miles.
Seats have wires coming out of them.
Electric motor to open the hatch back was shorting out the car.
Oil pan had a tech screw in it to fix a hole that the previous owner made while bottoming out.
Fenders in the front are dented up.
Hood does not have hinges on it, meaning that the hood just rests on the car.
One headlight is out.
Windshield is broken.
General comments?
This car took a lot of work to get it to where it is now. The car was in horrible shape when I first got it, but after a little fixing and about 1,000 dollars later it feels great to ride around in it.
When you step on the pedal it just responds right off.
The car takes corners at 60 miles per hour like it would take a corner going 30.
The car just glides on air down the road, probably because the suspension is bad.
This is my first car, and I wanted it to be a fixer upper. It was a great car to learn mechanics on, and it was really pretty cheap for all the work that I did. And seeing that it was a Camaro, parts where easy to come by, along with modifications.
