1982 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 from North America - Comments

"This car is awesome, and very fast, but for experienced drivers, not recommended as a first car"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

My clutch went out in the mid summer and I had it replaced, and OEM clutches seem to be hard to find for these cars so an aftermarket clutch was installed.

The interior wears normal for a 22 year old vehicle, but in all is still in good condition.

I replaced the 4 barrel carburetor as well because the one on the car at the time was just worn out overtime.

General comments?

This car is awesome especially for a 22 year old vehicle and its power is awesome.

This car handles better than my 1996 grand am.

The car is especially Fast, and I have beaten quite a few imports and newer mustangs with this car with ease.

The interior of the car is great if your young, but older people seem to have a hard time getting in and out of the vehicle.

The cars you beat with your beater Camaro... were they moving and occupied, or parked?

Well, I'd just like to add a comment to the one above, if anything for the sake of the Camaro and not the driver's claims.

The 1982 Camaro Z28 used a Chevrolet LG4 motor, which as we all know isn't the most powerful engine in existance, producing around 150hp at most. But, the thing the Camaro did have was torque - and quite a lot of it. 240lb/ft at just 2000rpm is far better than anyone's Civic will achieve, and so yes.. the Camaro WILL beat off most imports (Apart from obviously the Supra, Skyline etc).

Thankyou for reading.

1982 Camaros are really slow. I don't think one can beat a new 4.6 or even an older 5.0 Mustang unless you have nitrous of at least 150 horse. Japanese cars are getting really fast now days as well. Anything with a turbo is a rocket anymore. You should try to race one of those Subaru WRX STi's with your 82 Camaro. They only have 300 horsepower and go 0-60 in under 5 seconds.
