Summary: Not What I was Hoping.
Comment: I was hoping the book had all the products and horsepower figures for the Camaros, but it doesn't. It has some helpful stuff but a lot of the company that offer good products for camaros were not listed. Aiso the cover says suspension kits there is not a secton for them. These are just a few of the reasons I give the book one star.

Summary: has some credibility issues
Comment: I bought this book for a list of after market performance parts and it does a pretty good job of that. When I see small error right from the begining however the credibility of the entire book is suspect.

Example: describing the Z-28 engine in 67-69 Camaros, "Some quick trips to the parts bin produced the hot little 302 CID Z-28 engine, a 283 block bored to 4.00", and filled with a 327 crank." Well, as we all know the "DZ" motor was a 302 and it was hot. But if you take a 283 and bore it to 4.00" and put a 327 crank in it you get . . . a 327. This engine had a 4.00" bore and a 3.00" stroke. A 327 has a 3.25" stroke. Not a big deal but a book like this will likely be read by very savy Camaro owners.

Also, to describe the 1970 Camaro and Firebirds as "nothing more than overstock 1969 models, being sold and titled as 1970s" is stretching it a bit. True, some Chevrolet dealers did title and sell SOME 1969s as 1970s, and some dealers got sued as a result. The bottom line is a 69 is 69 and a 70 is a 70. No 1970 Camaro or Firebird is an "overstocked 1969."

And finaly, in the table of contents it list Power Packages on page 138 and page 138 says supercharging, the same as page 72. The "supercharging section on page 138 does contain Power Packages.

A copy editor may have helped.
