well im new to the camaro business. I found a 02 z28 with 60k on it. It seems to be in good condition and for 14000 dollars, it seems like a steal. I need some help on what the camaro is all about since i was...well still kinda am...a ....stang....guy. does this seem too good to be true. Also how does a camaro drive, will it satisfy my need for speed and also be safe enough for me...since i am 17...and a final though...what about winter driving....it does get cold in pennsylvania...

 

I think it would be better for you, the camaro has great handling in my opinion, and the factory hp is gonna be more than the mustang is. I would go with it!!

 

i had an 01 and 02 mustang gt both 5 spd, the were good cars, but not good enough, the just didnt have the power i was looking for like the camaros do.

 

but what about my questions...

 

1 ) The Camaro drives fine, just get used to checking your rear view mirrors. For two reasons, one it is hard to see out the back window, and second cops like to follow you.
2) If your need for speed is over 160MPH, this is not the car for you.
3) No car is safe at 160 MPH, unless it is a racing car equipped with all required safety gear.
4) If you drive a Camaro in snow or ice, you have to learn how to finess the gas and clutch pedals.
4) Teen agers and Camaros are a bad mixture. Check with your insurance agent.

 

yep. drive verry carefully on snow and ice. i personally never driven a mustang but i have driven a 01 z28. with only a cutout on the exhaust it ran 13.1 @109 in street tires. thats damn quick being basically stock. unless you drove a highly modded 5.0 or an 03 cobra, that will be a faster car than what you're used to. being that it has 60k on it 9which is fairly low miles, i would still try and get it for 12,5 ot 13k. as stated, check with insurance it prolly won't be cheap. good luck.
