There has been a little rust to develop in the trunk. After I bought the car I rebuilt everything due to the fact that it sat in a field since 1987. The only thing to go since I bought the car was the waterpump, however, it was the one original piece I put back on the motor. The interior also rough, but it mostly sunrot from sitting in that field. Gas mileage is about 14mpg.
The Camaro is an extremely fast car. I get from 0-60 in about 5.5 seconds. It also handles very well for a near 2 ton car. The only car on the street I've lost to so far is a porche. It eats rice burners for breakfast too. If there is one thing I don't like about the car its the back seat, no room at all, but I never sit back there, so I don't worry about it. The car is very reliable. Before I rebuilt the motor it ran great. The most impressive thing about the car yet was when I got it. I found it in a field, put gas and a battery in it, turned the key, and it cranked right up. Great car, and I recommend it to any one interested in buying one.
There is no way that your car be even be close to stock if you can do 0-60 in 5.5 seconds. I owned a completely stock 1978 Z28 350 cu. inch. eng. with auto trans and that car never ran any faster than 8.1 sec. 0-60. 1980 consumer reports has the Z28 doing 0-60 in 8.5 seconds.
Yup, the late 1970's was the era of emissions-strangled engines. Even Ferraris barely did 0 - 60 under 7 seconds.
He is either lying or his Camaro is modified (most likely).
No Its not Stock, and as far as things have gone since a couple of years ago, I took the 350 out (due to a friend ruining it by adding trans fluid instead of oil) and put in a 402 BB. Its turned in to a Street-Strip car and with the upgrades I've done to the car My best time is 7.834 in the 1/8 mile. I do understand what you mean though about being slow stock. A friend of mine has a '77 and its bone stock and yes, slow. In closing I just want to say that anyone else who has something to say before they Know about what the facts are about the car and what and what not has been done needs to keep there mouths shut because nobody cares about what ever it is you have to prove.
My 80 z28 runs 12's in the 1/4 mile. No it's not stock, the motor isn't anyways... but only 110000kms on her so she's mint!
