Ok, realistically, I'm thinking about getting a small trailer to tow a dirt bike like 50 miles ot to the desert and have fun. How hard is that gonna be, if even possible with a camaro? talkinga bout a 3.8l and a 350. Not on a regular basis maybe 1-2 a month at most.

They say the camaros have a 1,000 lbs towing capicity.....
personally I would be scared to pull any weight with a camaro. When you have dead weight on the back of a car, it likes to push.

Whatcha mean Hypsi? I don't understand 'it likes to push'.
I know they have a 'towing capacity' but this is gonna be a small trailer with couple hundred lbs dirt bike.

I once saw I tow hitch on the back of a jaguar and it was like "wtf?" But the owners manuel actually does have towing instructions... im sure you could tow a dirt bike, its just not what its meant for

"It tends to push"
The trailer pushes on the car, when you stop, the trailer wants to go forward, when you accelerate, the trailer wants to stay still, etc

There are several people in my area that tow trialers on the back of their Camaro's to SCCA events to haul racing tires and tools.

that little bike will be fine on that 3.8. I'm going to put a removable tow hook on my camaro after I get this 350 put in.... just because I can. I built the tranny to handle a lot of stress, and the engine will do it with no problem. Who has ever seen a camaro tow a big trailer or boat??? It's just a matter of time now.
