Faults:

Exhast needed replacement soon after I bought it.

Heat leaks, havent fixed it yet.

Just about idle there is a small vibration, dealer told me I have a crank bearing that has to much wear.

General Comments:

Don't get me wrong I like this car, it handles well, but is to slow for me. My old s10/v6 was faster and got the same gas mileage. And in the winters here in anchorage, Alaska this thing doesn't do well. I wish I had looked harder for the v8 models.

Faults:

I had a brake caliper bind up and caused uneven wear on the driver's side rotor and brake pad. This was fixed with a complete front brake job performed in my grandpa's garage for only $150.

The seats do show slight wear marks on the outside bolster of both seats.

The car got jumped on this winter by another Camaro that jumped a curb.

General Comments:

The car is a great bargain and I would not pass another one up.

Though the car is quick for a V-6 and will keep up with, if not beat most other cars on the road, I leave you wanting a Z-28.

You notice that at every bump the car sounds like it is falling apart, mostly because most of the car is plastic.

The handling of the car is great with wide tires that will grip turns at most any speed.

The interior in the front is roomy, yet the backseat passengers don't have much room to move.

The only practical use for the hatch is storage of the T-tops, which are my favorite feature.

Most importantly, the car turns a lot of heads, especially with the T-tops out and the stock Bose CD player pounding out the music.

Faults:

There is a squeak in a clutch when you let it out. It is due to the original owner before me who always let off the clutch sliding his foot off. A little grease will take care of that.

General Comments:

I really enjoy this car. Stock this car has 275 horsepower. Right now the car is pumping close to 320 horsepower with a Borla catback exhaust, K&N cold air intake and a RK Sport Coil. It also has cross drilled rotors, Momo shift knob, Neons all the way around and tint. This car is extremely fast, but I can use a little more power.

Faults:

Transmission warning light came on around 70K miles, replaced transmission before slippage could become noticeable..

General Comments:

Surprisingly potent V-6 power and excellent handling and cornering ability.

Not the most comfortable on long trips.

Visual appeal is unmatched by anything else in the GM stable.

Excellent buy for those of us who cannot afford the high insurance/maintenence costs of the Z28 or SS.

Faults:

Overall, nothing at all. Clutch was replaced at 114000 miles. Every LT1 motor I've come across has had an rear intake manifold oil leak around 100000 miles. I repaired it myself and saved about $600. Parts for the repair cost about $60. Dash has a couple of impossible to find rattles.

General Comments:

I've put about $2000 in the car in just performance modifications. Currently, it's got headers, a 104mm throttle body, cold air induction, exhaust, and short throw shifter. It's amazing what this car can do. I've dusted Corvette after Corvette, Trans Am after Trans Am, Cobra after Cobra. It runs like new to this day.

Faults:

Air Pump went bad (and subsequently had refund due to recall campaign)

General Comments:

This car is a beast. Out of the box it's got approx 260 rear-wheel horsepower, with about $500USD simple mods I'm up closer to 300.

The car suffers from minor irritating rattles and shakes in the dash - but these are well known and easily dealt with.

The handling is really good, and can be made easily better with simple bolt-on parts. Traction at wide open throttle could be better, but you've got a lot of power to deal with.

As a commuter car (As I've used this for, mostly) you'll have to deal with road noise and sometimes kidney-bruising ride. Traction in the wet can be a problem, but is alleviated with a good set of all-weather tires.

The T-Tops are a must have - nothing like cruising in a nice fast car with the tops out... without the hassle of convertible tops.

I love this car.
