Like it or not, the Camaro is the answer to a question that few ask anymore. And, one two-seater sports car is enough for Chevy. It's the one that is profitable on a per-unit basis. Nothing more. Nothing less.

Among the 3 American Muscle cars, Camaro is without a doubt the best engineered of the bunch. But apparently what sold better was the vacuous "brotherhood of muscle" campaign for the Dodge land barge with the cast iron block, and the cuteness of Mustangs for people who don't know what good handling feels like (not to mention the oil guzzling engine with the sprayed-on cylinder lining).
In the future, the Gen 5 and Gen 6 Camaro will rule over Ford and Dodge in the collector car market. |

This is another great example of someone being paid by the word to write an article on a subject they know nothing about. The only 6th camaro trope not repeated was the visibility.

Absolute bullshit "article", it may even have been written by chatgpt. "Abrupt engine problems"? "Bad mileage"? WTH is this, some fifth grader's first foray into writing essays?
The sort of clickbaity nonsense this article is a "fine" specimen of will turn people even more away from reading... as if literacy, or lack thereof, weren't already a huge issue :(

Is the sprayed on cylinder lining and oil guzzling issue a real issue with the gen 3 coyote in the Mustang? I haven't been reading much about it on the Mustang pages (although most of them are full of fanboys who defend the car blindly). My father's 2018 F-150 with the gen 3 coyote seems to be burning oil and the 10 speed is always confused..

GR86 is nice little car, but it's no Camaro. It's great second car to a Camaro though You have to go out of your way to make a 86 do stupid stuff.. the Camaro can do stupid stuff every single time you mash the gas.
The 86 is full of stupid quirks. Power mirrors that dont tilt down in reverse, door that dont lock when you reach certain speed, turn signals dont latch on - return to center!, phone storage ie cupholder is behind your elbow, fake engine noise is absolute crap, engine sounds feels and sounds rough, it tends to run HOT, stock camber is extremely limited by design but tons of aftermarket and disturbingly... soo much ricey crap - about biggest downside of that car is taking car can handle brilliantly and VIP slamming them. As much of a headache as failing oil pumpSSSS have been, the LT4 is dream of an engine for smoothness and power delivery... i want more of it.. blackwing?

I’ve accepted that the Camaro is coming to an end. It is what it is. All things change eventually if you live long enough. The good thing is I can hang onto my Camaro as long as I need. It’s not a DD and I’ll never put enough miles on it to kill it before I’m underground. |
