Of course, if you ask the Camaro fans, the aerodynamics are A+!*

All jesting aside, for a sports car they do have somewhat-low Cd and average frontal area. Not quite as good as Corvettes historically, about on par with the Viper (in all generations except the first--that's been a frustratingly consistent car aerodynamically), slightly better than the Mustang. My partner has a 1994 Z28 auto, and it gets reasonable mileage on the highway...when it's running.

*When compared to Ferraris, Miatas, and the original Beetle.
