"A stellar automobile"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The rear pinion seal leaked a few times.

General comments?

This is the most amazing car I have ever owned. It is ballisticly fast and surprisingly well mannered in traffic. It also handles great and is comfortable.

The Camaro is definitely a big bang for the buck!

I agree although I'm more of a mustang guy, I've raced many SS's in my 2000 Saleen and they've almost beatin me, and not to mention they're cheaper, but I'm partial to Stangs, but still one hell of a car for the price and horses.

I have owned and gone through a lot of Mustangs and Camaros in my life, starting in about the late 70's, but I recently got into the newer sports cars, I bought a 2001 mustang in the summer of '02 it wasn't quite a Saleen, but with the upgrades I have done to it, it beats the '07 Shelby's 0-60 by about 1.4 seconds, and it quarter mile, but 0.8-1.1 depending on the road condition. I love supercharger's so when I was thinking about a Chevy, my friend mentioned the Camaro, it took awhile, but I finally ran into a '99 Z-28 I've generally done the same to that as to the Mustang, but that is initially faster, but at least 1 second on everything (I haven't had the chance to take it to the track yet). Now, my mustang is pushing about 675 horses with about 720 lbs. ft. of torque, my Camaro is only about 640 horses with 665 lbs. ft. of torque, but with the streamlined design and in the long rune the Camaro is generally lighter than the mustang, which gives it a big advantage, both my cars are manual so I can give it some extra power. So in the end I like the Camaro better it is more exciting to drive that the Mustang, and awfully roomy for a sport scar.
