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.
