  • I think because of the horsepower alone the 2014 Z28 is the best.

  • Maybe not the best, but I love 67 RS/SS 350 marina blue black vinyl top black stripes around the nose

  • The 73 split bumper Z/28 has always been my favorite Camaro. I think it’s the body lines and the different look of the front of the car. The almost useless split bumper is the signature on this masterpiece!

  • The 69 Z-28 with 302 dual quads is the best Camarillo of all time.

    • You are correct sir!

  • i really like the 1973. but truly the 2014. with its powerhouse 430 hp. has to be my favorite . along with my 505 friends say this baby is our dream machine. thank you gm for that

    • The 67 is cool but the 69 Z-28 with fold away head lights and the 302 DZ MOTOR is truly the best!!

      • The best looking and running! The dual quad tuned up with the Penske “140” off road cam put out over 400 h.p.!

  • I sold myself a 2000 Camaro in 2004. It took me 2 weeks to pull the plug. OMG! So glad I did! I love the F-frame! It had(she died 3 yrs ago) T-tops, v-6 3800, power everything…especially in my heart!! LUV 2000
