Question Towing with Camaro?

Saw a person with a Nissan Altima towing a PWC. What is the tow rating on this car? Only would be towing my 765lb ski + 195lb trailer about 5 mi every 2-3 months. Do you think this would be possible? all I have is my Camaro. Want to stop borrowing my friends truck.

Pretty much any vehicle out there can handle a class 1 hitch and 1500lb load. Heck I did 2k with my mazda 6 with no issues. Just do it and don't listen to the posts that are bound to happen that say towing with a camaro is sacrilege.
