I have read that they are borderline turds. Maybe a high 15 second pass.

I was considering getting one when I was 17ish and looking for a pretty inexpensive ride. The interiors aren't that bad on those cars, and I thought with the 250 V8 and FWD, the car would be pretty quick.

But they aren't light...

The last link is a road test from a newer bodystyle Aurora, but it still performed like a turd.

because i don't have $4500 just to get the Camaro back on the road. it needs a full restoration.

and 99, i knew they were heavy (said 4k lbs in my first post), i just need something to get me from a to b quietly and comfortably, for cheap
