After a house, the second most important and expensive purchase that an individual would normally make in his lifetime is buying a car, and reasonably because of its cost to acquire is understandably treated with care and respect befitting what one can consider as a member of the family and not just a mode transport.

Described by GM engineers who built it as “more of a driver’s car than the earlier version”, the second-generation Camaro was also called the “Super Hugger” as a description of its handling and road-hugging ability.

A total revamp of its predecessor, Chevrolet made substantial improvements to the car to better compete with its direct rival, the Mustang.
