What Owners are Saying About the 1996 Chevrolet Camaro

"Absolutely LOVE it!!!"

"Nothing bad to say about it! Always wintered in heated garage, just use her in summer months. The best car I've ever owned. Handles beautifully!!! Absolutely love it!"

"I’ve owned this car since new, 25 years."

"I’ve had normal problems, not trans or engine. It rides rough, but no worse than the 2011 Camaro we bought and kept for just 3 years. We called the 2011 “Bonecrusher”. Horrible blind spots on the newer one too. The 1994 is so much fun to drive, cornering is awesome! And while not as fast as newer models, this car is still plenty fast. Great paint, both original and some new as the result of a dump truck sideswipe. Garage kept always, frequently waxed. I kept a 1968 GTO for over 50 years. I’ll keep this car just as long. Well, somebody in the family will have it. Jerry R"

"This is the perfect car"

"This car is comfortable nice interior / exterior, good on gas, it's very fast, and last but not least wont cost you an arm and a leg for insurance."
