1987 Chevrolet Camaro Reviews, Pricing & Specs

Great first car...great platform to build on. Handled like it was on rails. Anemic motor/rearend. Factory motors are horrible, but throw an LSX in, it'd be great. The tranny's arent bad (T-5 or 700R4) but a T56 would be my choice. Build quality is typical 80s GM with rattles and whatnot but not much you can do about that...overall a great car with huge aftermarket support plus they look fantastic.Aug 31, 2010

Jet performance chip, timing gears, bigger injectors, jegs exhaust, crane cams, and sticky Goodyears make my camaro the fastest and most fun car I've ever owned. It makes around 300 hp, 410 ft/lbs., so its a bit of a beast on vermont roads. Can put most local euro, sti and evo owners to shame at the stoplight, nevermind those honda and dsm guys. I do wish it wasn't such a beast in the corners in the twisties, and that it was a 1LE, but ya work with what you can. At the moment, the power has decided to lock the stock tranny in 1st, so its collecting dust. Might have to sell if it becomes too expensive to fixNov 11, 2009

Loud, fast, and cheap. Quality is typical of 80's American cars.... cheap. From the inner door shell to the dash to the ashtray, the quality just is not there. Basically, this car was built to go fast. With that said, mission accomplished. The 5.0 305 V8 has some nice umph, but you won't be cruising in luxury. These cars also had a reputation for paint that faded prematurely and clear cot that did not last. This car is positive proof of that. Mar 28, 2009

Well, You have to drive one to understand one. The car does require maintenance here and there, But so does any car of this year. The power (For a v6) is awesome! The car handles very well and you feel invincible when driving it (Which isn't necessarily a good thing... Lol) I would recommend this car to anyone who can understand the bond a man (Or woman) and his (Or her) car can truly have (Yes, I know I sound corny, But camaro owners understand) So in conclusion, a 1987 Chevrolet Camaro as far as I am concerned is the only car I will drive until the end of my days! Best car ever!Jan 13, 2007

I only had the 1987 IROC for a little over a year,I opted to buy one with the L98 engine package and at that time it was a great deal of money.So I finally had to sell it because I could not afford the car payments and the insurance both.I was only 19 years old at the time so the insurance companies had alot of fun charging me around $2000.00 a year for coverage.But I loved that car.The L98 5.7 Lit. TPI. produced 225BHP@4400 and 330 ftlb of torque@2800. In other words when you kicked it HOLD ON. There were many other engine opions that year for the IROC but the L98 was the fastest of the bunch.The LB9 was only 215HP,and came with the 5.0lit 305ci engine.And you could go all the way down to the LG2 5.0lit 305ci with 170HP with the 4bbl or 190HP with TPI. This was a car that I still regret not keeping.If your a lucky enough to get one in good condidtion hold on to it.With a little work and some after market performance parts you can get 350-400 HP and really have some fun.Dec 26, 2006
