All lights on the car had to be replaced.
Needed a radiator upon purchase of car.
General Comments:
One of my most favorite things about this car is the steering; it's weighted almost perfectly.
It's quicker than almost anything for this price. and then some...
It looks very unique and sexy with its deep set headlights and curves.
I had the choice of this, a supercharged Cobra and a 300ZX twin turbo and a 911. I chose this car over them all. 911 was fast but hideously ugly, the Cobra had no quality at all, and the 300zx was good, but not good enough.
I used to hate Camaros, but after driving this one, I love them, and am excited every day to go places in it. It makes me feel like I am 10, and I love it! It sounds so good as well.
If I dislike anything about this car, it's the freakin electronics in it. The car is sound, but the electronics can really give you a scare! Owning a muscle car can be a pain sometimes, but worth it for sure.
Honestly though, I got in a huge accident where a lady in a Tahoe smashed into me on the freeway, completely destroying my car. Totaled? I wouldn't let them... and I fixed the entire car for $400! Cheap parts and I didn't have a scratch.
This car is special, because you get the sense when they made it, they had sooooo much passion. And I am glad... very very glad...
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

No seriously, I just love this damn car so much. The Porsche was faster, but ugly as all hell. The Cobra had way too many problems, as with any Ford.

I actually bought the fender and the bumper used for $350, then molded the frame myself. Took about 6 hours, but it looks brand new. Then a new marker light and some touch up paint. $400.

Hard to believe that you chose the Camaro over the others (unless they were all in salvage yards) and that your car was "completely destroyed", yet you fixed it for $400. What did you do, buy a new one? :)
