Dead...
 

My 1990 RS camaro is dead. It has yet again broke and I am just tired of fixing that piece of crap. I am going back to a real car company. Subaru. They know how to make a good car and my old one has 50,000 more miles then my camaro with 0 problems.

we have no problems out of ours other than stuff people before us didnt take care of

Take of the Camaro and it will last forever. My dad has a 1982 Z28 with 200,000 miles and it runs fine.

Yes u can make them run forever by paying over and over again to replace parts but if you want car that will last to 200,000 miles and you can beat the hell out of it by a real car company. American car company's just don't know what they are doing.

It depends on how well the car is taken care of.

Did you buy the car brand new? Have you done proper maintenance?

You can't compare a car that you have driven for all its life to a car that you bought second hand and the owner(s) before have hot rodded it and not taken care of it.

If you don't like american muscle cause you didn't buy a car that was taken care of that's your fault. We don't want your whiny ricer *** here. Bye.

^^ lol +1

RS, this is not the place to bash Camaro's lol, maybe you have a piece of sh*t but that's just you. but i imagine it's a TBI 305? if so it is junk lol. But if you take good care of any car it should be fine. Sorry for your probs, i know a bunch of people with 2nd and 3rd gens and not one of us have probs we can't handle. But don't worry, your camaro blues will pass lol, you'll regret it if you get rid of it. Maybe drop a 68-80 sbc in her, I never had any probs with them that i didnt cause lol.

No car lasts 200,000 miles if you beat it to hell, let alone forever. My dad keeps his Z28 running by keeping up the maintenance and replacing the parts that are designed to wear out.
I agree. So go buy your Subaru RS Camaro, but any part that you replace on that car will cost much more than any part for your Camaro.

Hell just give me your camaro and I'll put a 350 with 400hp in it for $3,900, from here http://www.cmengines.com/Engines/Per...3/Default.aspx, and it'll make a nice street/strip car and you'll be done fixing problems

Ricer... lol You don't know anything about subaru.

I have just had so many problems with the American cars I have owned. I have had 3. A 1990 RS camaro, dodge ram 1500, alero. But my Subaru has yet to die on me or leave me hanging. Just form my experience my friends Honda, and the rest of my friends Subaru's have out lasted all my other cars. I take care of them. flush the coolant, change oil, water pump, battery, spark plugs, head gasket, belt, and even changed the whole rear end on my truck. I want to hang out with my friends before I go to basic training not fix my cars.

Did you buy any of the american cars new? Did you buy the subaru new?

I did not buy any of my cars new.

American cars don't last? ;)

Bottom line is, you havent baught the cars new so you can't solely blame the car/company. BTW Subaru originated form Japan hense the stereo typical term ricer.

LMAO! Got 'em.

Yes, I would consider Subaru "rice" as well. They're made in Japan and they are equipped with little inline fours.

^^^ thats called outlying data. The great majority of american cars will hardly make it to 150,000 on stock parts.

Yes but do to the fact that Subaru engines are horizontally opposed they do not sound like ricers. Now honda civics and 3000Gts those are ricers.

How about that tiny little 2.5L with a turbo that puts out 300HP goes 0-60 in 4.7 sec and blows the doors off of the "great" V8s like the 5.7L v8. That car will damn near beat the new camaro.

A Mitsubishi 3000GT is definitely not what most would call rice. Especially the VR4 trim, those were twin turbocharged and made around 300 horsepower.

yet still wouldn't keep up with your "ricy" 2.5L turbo STI. :)

My 2.5L Turbo STI? You were the one that said that it was better than a Camaro. But whatever, keep blaming American car companies for your problems.

Going a different direction, I've seen at least a dozen Crown Vics running like new on 160,000 miles, and 3 of those were over 500,000 miles.

And then you get to look like a cop ;)

While there are cars that are generally more or less reliable, it does depend most on how well it was taken care of. Properly cared for, any car can last a long time.

Unless it's an Eagle Talon. Then you're ****ed.

k bye. you are no longer welcome here

awww :)

I did all this **** because I wanted to see if anyone would really bring up any good points to why american cars are not ****. Like how old american cars are beautiful or we make some fast cheap cars as well. And the fact that we make great off road cars and make a mean V8, Or that are trucks are very good.

I just bought a inline 6 jeep. :)

:icon_no: I told ya, not a place to bash Camaro's.... especially against a Subaru lol

yes egal talons are very hard to keep running. my friends has 214,000 and still going tho:icon_wink:

Mine blew up at 90,000. Bought it for $6500, spent close to $10k just keeping it running, then got less than $2k when I traded it in.

I wouldn't even consider buying a Japanese car.

me either..i searched ten years for an iroc i could afford. all my friends say its a piece of ****e but they dont see the true beauty...

I wouldn't even consider buying a Japanese car.[/QUOTE]

Thats not fair to pick one company that is Japanese and hate them all. Honda and Toyota have the longest lasting cars in the world and that is a fact. I don't like ether of those company's put it doesn't change the fact that if you want cars that won't brake you buy a Japanese car or a German. But I do love american muscle. I also really like jeeps :)

Honda and Toyota have had a lot of recalls lately.

. I don't like ether of those company's put it doesn't change the fact that if you want cars that won't brake you buy a Japanese car or a German.

if u bought one of the toyotas that took off on you then you are right they wont brake

Like I wrote in the beginning of this thread, any car will last forever if it is taken care of.

amen brother

Well first off the whole Toyota thing was blown way out of proportion. Most those cases where found to be false. But yes they have had some problems. But remember last year when Honda's stock crashed and hurt the economy? no wait i mean Chevy..... Honda stock went up and the toyota Camry and the Honda civic are one of the only two cars to hold there value. You can keep saying that if u tke good care of a car it will last forever but the point is that almost all Honda's and all Toyota's out last american cars.

i know of three junkyards full of toyota and honda cars that were made from the same year my camaro was. my car is still running. case and point?
