Yeah I don't really see the big deal here. You do what you gotta do. Personally, if there was a way to acceptably hide it (ie without compromising the looks of the car at all), I'd love to put a hitch on mine. It would add a level of practicality to an otherwise fairly impractical car. The car can definitely handle it.

Hey, until every car gets parking sensors in the front, we need spikes in front too!

Mind sharing where you got that rack/hitch and how much the setup costs? I was going to search for a normal "on-trunk" rack and then just PRAY it wouldn't kill my car... I miss riding my bike through the trails lol...
As for adding a hitch... I don't see anything wrong with it. If anything, it also adds a bit of protection when not in use from those pesky woman doing their makeup while talking on the phone and driving with their knees who like causing "fender-benders" at traffic lights/stops. |

See now, THAT actually looks nice, looks like it'll detach fairly easy when not in use. But a straight up hitch on the camaro is ridiculous. Just go buy a cheap SUV/truck if you really need to tow something, or if you are moving, rent the truck uhauls and not the trailer

seeee but this MUSCLE CAR was meant to move itself, you, and (if necessary) 3 passengers around at really fun speeds. if it was meant to tow a trailer, it would come with a hitch

If it was meant to haul 3 passengers, it would have come with a bigger back seat.
