I gotta stand up for Jake. The guys flaming him probably haven't been on a bike saddle in years. Fine ride or not the Camaro is still transportation for many of us. I don't see any problem with mods that make it more useful as long as they are done tastefully. IMHO a roof rack would mess up the lines but I'm not a fan of roof racks in general.
While the Camaro is not my primary transportation to the trailhead, it's a lot more fun and more economical then my diesel truck. So far I'm just dropping the rear car seat, removing the pedals & tires and very carefully placing it in the trunk. (In fact it's in the truck right now.) You may need to lower the seat stem if its a big frame.
This works Ok provided that you have wheel bags to keep those muddy knobbies from making a mess or scratching your other prize ride. Bring some old towels to put the bike on and to protect those nice bucket seats from sweat stains.
I have considered a hidden receiver with a removable access panel in the rear valence so it is completely out of sight when not in use. If you know a metal frabricator it might also be possible to configure a drop "u" between the receiver and rack to clear the rear panel without any cutting. When I get some time to tackle this I'll post something. In the mean time, happy trails.
