Fun car to drive, but seems to have consistent issues
Fun car to drive. I have never owned such a fun car to drive. Power and performance are outstanding. Reliability? Come on, Chevy. I know you can do better. Within months of purchasing the car it began to do "funny" things. Like telling me all 4 tires were flat and not one was, giving me an airbag warning and adjusting radio volume on its own to name a few. The Chevy dealer said it needed a computer upgrade and we did that. Everything was good for a few weeks, and the issues began again. Back to dealer, same problem. Now, 60K miles into it, the car has left me stranded twice and I no longer have any faith in the reliability. Be warned if you are looking for a reliable vehicle.
Major Mechanical Issues - Thats Life!
I, unfortunately, own a 2010 2LT that currently has about 70,000 miles. I have had multiple major mechanical components of the vehicle fail prematurely. Specifically, one of the catalytic converters failed at about 60,000, the throttle body and related wiring failed at about 45,000, the timing chains stretched at about 35,000 and most recently have just stretched again at about 70,000. GM assumes no responsibility for the issues and when questioned for assistance with the second timing chain failure has relayed the message that they believe that this is normal wear and that the 35,000 mile interval is acceptable. Terrible product. I do not recommend if you purchase one if you like your hard earned money. Other than the major mechanical issues the car looks fantastic. I guess I always really did need a $35,000 lawn decoration.

3.6 v 6 timing chain
DO NOT BUY the 3.6 v 6 engine. This has a faulty design on the timing chains. Check engine light came on at 52,724 miles and coded P008 & P0017. Chevy dealer said needs timing chains, cost $3,000. GM has issued extended warranties for 10 years and 120,000 miles on other makes and models with the 3.6 v6 for timing chains. NOT ON THE CAMARO....They acknowledge a problem under their Customer Satisfaction Program 10287. The only problem is their Customer Satisfaction Program is of absolutely NO HELP if you own a Camaro. They want you to foot the whole bill. Google Camaro timing chain and read all the other complaints from other owners for the same problem. The car however looks great parked in my driveway. "Time for my wife to give me a ride in her Nissan to the flower shop so I can buy flowers to plant on my expensive Camaro planter living in the driveway."

Serious Paint Problems!
I grew up driving camaros and was very excited when the new models came out. Drives wonderfully but the paint job is horrible! Did they only spray one coat? I'm keeping my fingers crossed for a paint recall. I've seen several other 2010 camaros around town that are all equally scratched up. We've only had the car for 5 months, 1,400 miles, no accidents, and there are chips everywhere. All you have to do is look at this car funny and the paint will chip!
Beware the Paint and Sight Lines...
Wow, purchased a Red 2010 2LT RS and was blown away by the looks, unique interior, and list of options/features. I was concerned about the roof line, but thought I would get use to it. And then the paint chips began. I started to get paint chips by the "gills" even though I had purchased the painted splash guards. And then I read camaro forums and quickly learned of a paint issue on the camaro. The stories are horrific and I've seen the pictures! GM is not acknowledging that there is a problem, of course. The root of the problem appears to be a change in paint due to federal/Canadian laws. After 500 miles, I traded for a 2010 mustang gt and couldn't be happier! So, buyers, beware!
