I'm gonna disagree, I think Camaro's are pretty cool (and I'm no redneck, and I don't have a mullet, lol) it's an american classic. Couple of things though, I'm assuming you're probably young, so if you are, and with a muscle car, you are going to get "expletive deleted" on insurance, so be prepared for that. You'll pay a heck of a lot less if say you have something like a Toyota Corolla or something.
Also, a word of note, Camaro/Trans Am's of that vintage can in many cases, eat through rear ends faster than a guy with the flu goes through kleenex. The main problem is that if the drive shaft/transmission are not lined up perfectly and I mean, perfect factory spec, you'll go through them every 15,000 miles or so. I recommend really checking that part of the car to ensure everything from the tranny/driveshaft is aligned perfectly.
Other than that, they are generally pretty solid cars. I will say, I'm curious which powertrain combination you're getting, V6 or V8, and which one, carbureated or fuel injected, manual or automatic? If you are stuck with an automatic, there are shift kits available to better time the shifts, though if it's a manual you choose, so no problem there. Oh, and T Tops rule in the summertime!
Congrat's.
P.S. They suck in the snow.

The only thing it needs is a dead cow on the roof and a shower installed. That'll fix everything. Jeremy Clarkson told me so.
Joking aside, The Camaro is a great entry car, but as Ace says, you're going to get killed on insurance... Like "bend over and take it like a man" killed.

Tino Martino - They Stopped Making Firebirds and Camaros
(To the tune of The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald.)
It was late friday night I was wasted all right,
When I saw a mullet named Harold.
His words pierced his ears like the stud in his ear,
"They stopped making Firebirds and Camaros"
As my buzz was extreme I excused this blaspheme
As the ravings of a dude high on whippets.
But then others confirmed what I had just learned,
General Motors was betraying The Mullets.
The cars' coolness and class weren't apparent at first glance,
But those who drove it did learn
Hockers, you could spit out of the T top slits.
Drag racing beat any rice burner.
Objects seem nearer in the rearview mirror,
where my feathered roach clip hung.
And the backstage pass was taped to the glass
For when Krokus opened up for Neil Young.
The cars beauty was such that it got me laid much,
When chicks saw it the deal was sealed.
I said, "Let's go for a ride" and then once inside,
Their high tops left prints on the windshield.
The seats went back far so the chick could see the stars.
Through the T top it was romantic.
We'd dry hump away to the sounds of Fastway.
The small seats made her juggs look gigantic.
Yes the pride that I feel from owning these wheels
Was so great that nothing could dull it.
It's my shell, I'm the turtle.
I'm the waist, it's my girdle.
It's the reason that I have a mullet.
Laaaaaaaaa laa laa laa laa
La laaaaaaa la Mullet.
So tonight, drink a toast,
To the car with the most.........ballls.
They stopped making Firebirds and Camaros.
