1986 Chevrolet Camaro consumer reviews

This car is very good and I enjoy driving it. I personally love the look and the feel of the car and wouldn?t trade it for anything.

front heavy rear wheel drive car requires county steering in the turning situations and the camaro does this rather well with a niche 305 and 9 bolt posy rear end on turns

In 1985 my father ordered a 1986 Z28 Camaro, without the IROC package. It had to have power windows, locks, the upgraded stereo and speakers, and hydraulic trunk/hood. The day he got the car home, he removed the governor and seatbelt warning system. Later he would go on to modify several other performance components of this car, and eventually store it in the garage the month before I was born. 16.5 years later I drove it to highschool for the first day of my Junior year. I've had this car for about 5 years now, and while it's had its ups and downs, I've loved it through and through. The minimalist design characteristics, finicky defrosters, and shaky plastic screwed directly to the metal may not particularly appeal to your average Lexus owner, but it's hard not to fall in love with it eventually. These cars rolled out of the factory pushing barely over 200 HP and a little short of 250 ft-lbs. They were marketed as street-legal racecars, and I drove mine as such. Its city gas mileage is something to cry about, its handling in snow is something to die about, but feeling the tires break loose after a wash on the first hot day of summer is more than just something to smile about. Driving my dad's racecar is something that I'll always cherish, and being able to say that we both made the same mistakes in the same car is a special feeling I'll always remember. I hope to keep mine and restore it, or buy another some day soon. I hope you get to enjoy one too.
