My theory on sports car ownership is that you should multiply your age times $1,000 to set your budget.

The Chevrolet Camaro coupe, a classic American-made sports car, ranges in base price from about $26,000 to about $62,000. So, you could apply the $1,000 multiplier from age 26 to retirement and upgrade as you go along.

Is the Camaro worth a lifetime of brand loyalty? That’s what I’m here to answer.

WHAT IS IT?

The Camaro is a mid-size sports car made by Chevrolet. Now in its sixth generation, the Camaro dates to the dawn of the “pony car” era in the 1960s. It was developed as a competitor to the Ford Mustang, and hit the market for the 1967 model year.
