1998 Chevrolet Camaro

Pros: An economical and practical thrill ride.
Cons: Build quality.. but hey... it's a chevy, right?

I had a 98 Z28 6 speed for 5 years and loved it every time I drove it. Bear in mind that I am not a 16 yr old joy rider. Nay, I'm a 40ish year old family man: mortgage, professional career, college education, etc, etc. And I drive the speed limit. But this car is a thrill beyond its reputation. Nothing, and I mean nothing, can match the feeling of the torque of an American pushrod V8, especially when it makes the sound of a Chevy small block.

Oh, and the car stops, goes, turns like stink. All while providing 20 mpg in daily driving and 28 on the road. (love the 6 speed!). Very comfortable car too!
