Author's Product Rating: 10 Recommended: No 
Pros: Affordable though certainly not "cheap". Faster than a scaled chicken. Great looking car.
Cons: Insurance companies rape you. Bad quality. Bad mileage.
The Bottom Line: It's fast and fun, and that's exactly why you can't have it. Insurance companies will hunt
you down and the jalopy will get driven more by mechanics than by you.
The car is fast.
The car is in your price range.
The car looks great and stands out from the ordinary boring cars of today.
Unfortunately this car is sunk by insurance companies, gas prices, and probably the worst quality of any ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 10 Recommended: No
Pros: FAST
Cons: Everything else.
This is not a good car to buy. I have many reasons for this.
1) Cost. Ok, so it's less than real sports cars. So what? It's still a cheap american car that will have monstrous repair costs. They state $19k for a z28, but by the time you ... read more

I'll give the camaro one thing, it's fast, very fast. Unfortunately it handles like a pig, performs horribly in bad weather, possess terrible styling and a ridiculously unrefined interior.
When I graduated college I wanted a fast car. So I went ... read more

The Bottom Line: A decient car, great performer. If you can deal with the probelms( which i can't) this is the a good choice for you
In June of 2005 I sold my 1979 camaro and decided to find another sports car, i tried everything from a dodge srt-4 to and audi a-4. By accident I stumbled upon a 1999 SS Camaro in the want ad. I wnet down to check it out liked it and later bought it. ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 30 Recommended: Yes
Pros: power, handling,
Cons: cowl shake, interior fit & finish
The Bottom Line: If you're shopping for a convertible that is less than 5 years old, and less than $10K, the Firebird and Mustang are the only other two you should consider.
After a long and meticulous search for a reasonably practical American convertible, I purchased this car with 41000 miles on it. My "wish list" had the Camaro/Firebird ranked dead even with the V6 Mustang, but this particular car came my way first, due ... read more

The Bottom Line: The 1999 Chevy Camaro is a great looking vehicle, and it handles well. As far as my experience I have had nothing but trouble with the rearend in mine.
I bought my 1999 Chevy Camaro brand new. It caught my eye first thing when I walked onto the lot. Unfortunately I have had nothing but trouble with the rear differential. I had to have two leaks fixed and then bearings in the rear differential all while ... read more

Camaro: The muscle car of the 90's. What has happened to the Camaro, From 1990, they were great cars, fast, sleek, powerful. Even when the new model of 93 came out, they were still fast, sleek, and powerful, in fact, they could out power most cars on ... read more

Pros: American made. Affordable price. Stylish look.
Cons: Too large. Not much roominess.
The Chevrolet Camaro is to large to compete with all the other sports cars in the $10,000 to $20,000 price range. Due to this fact General Motors is going to stop production of the camaro and its counterpart the Pontiac Firebird. You will more than ... read more

The Bottom Line: Yes, for a second car
I bought my 1999 Camaro SS Convertible in January of 2003 for $15,900 with 49k on the clock. I've owned the car for over two years now and have put about 3,000 miles on it. Let me just say that this is not a good daily driver! As a second car, it's ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Very Fast, 99 version is different, looks beautiful(Z28)
Cons: bad braking system, skids too easily, major blind spots
The Bottom Line: If you like sports cars, and want a fast one, I truly recommend the Z28. This car has the feel and look of a fast car.
this car looks beautiful, just beautiful. The front end looks very agressive. The back end while it remains the same, is okay. This car is just spectacular too sight. Whiel the spent too much time on the outside, they should have considered the ... read more

Author's Product Rating: 40 Recommended: Yes
Pros: Excellent performance for the price.
Cons: Bad blindspot. Could use better seats.
The Bottom Line: For someone looking for the ultimate in handling and speed, I recommend the Corvette. However for about half the price you can have the Camaro which is a great compromise.
My brother purchased his 1999 Z-28 about a month after I purchased my 92 Corvette. I have driven both cars and feel like I can make an unbiased comparison.
To put it quite simply, you cannot buy more performance for the price than with a ... read more

Pros: Affordable, fast, head turner, V6 is cheap to own
Cons: Tight inside, quality, Harsh gear box.
The Bottom Line: Great car for the price. Sexy, fun and cheap. If you want refinement get a german car. But if you want a cheap fast car this is it.
PROS: Fast V6 car with this manual transmission. This car is a great head turner. It handles decently. It has great traction even in snow, if you know what you are doing and use 2nd gear often. It has plenty of cargo space if you have up to two people in ... read more

So you ask why that title? I can't believe that GM is thinking about stopping production of this car. You will not find a sports car that can do what the new camaro can do for the price! Bottom line, that new LS-1 engine is just awsome. The power is just ... read more

The sports car for so many of us that work hard for middle-income wages is the Chevrolet Camaro. I have priced the 305-hp V-8 Camaro Z-28 at only $22,000. Powerful and stylish, the Camaro is a great choice for people who cannot afford the upper-class ... read more
