It had a 350 also but I think it only had about 150 HP. It sucked!!!! But I liked it because I was a kid and it was a Camaro.

It leaked water on the drivers side floor since new. The dealer never could fix it.
I ordered it with the 350 engine,but they quit using the 350,and put in a 305.
I think it had a 256 rear end, and was slow as hell of the line.
Overall quality was very poor.
One thing I remember is that the heater core always had water flow, and the fan blower stayed on low speed even when turned off. A.C. wouldn't cool ,so the dealer put a manual shut off valve under the hood.
I remember always opening the hood turning the damn thing on and off.
Also the aluminum bumpers would always oxidize.
I remember polishing them all the time.

Never had a bad car. I have only had 3 so far, the first was an 86 camry given to me by my parents when they got a new one. That thing ran and looked great, and much nicer than my friends hyundais and beat up VW's. Then i bought a 99 VW GTI vr6, that thing was great too, but it got hit and totaled 8 months later. So then i bought the 01 CL-S. Now i am tempted all the time to get something else, especially a 6 speed, but in the end its because I like a lot of new cars out there, not that I don't like my CL, which is why i will stick with it for a few more years.

I'm with Rock2534. I have never regretted buying any vehicle that I have ever had. In fact, I wish I had Jay Leno's money, and then I would never have to sell one. I've owned about 30, and loved them all. I guess I'm just a hopeless romantic!

I have been very fortunate. I love cars. That number is including the six vehicles that I have shared with my wife (90 Accord Coupe 5sp, 93 Legend Coupe 6sp, a couple of Jeep Grand Cherokee Limiteds, a 99TL and an MDX). I did Love the first two and wish we still had them. I must admit however that I didn't really feel the love with the Jeeps. At the same time though, I don't regret having them. They were quite handy when my kids were born. It's amazing how much "stuff" goes along with such a small person.
