ive towed once with it with an 18foot steel bottom car hauler and my mustang on the back and she did great (until my power steering pump issue). i now tow with my k5. its got a 200k mile tbi 350 and a short as hell wheel base and it tows fine. i know ur camaro is a fat pig, but my mustang isnt exactly "light weight". id imagine your H would do great.
that said i know an 8k lb travel trailer is a totally different beast than a open car hauler

i guess it it based more on my ride there and the highway i take, than actually not towing. where i take my car ( mid ohio), its a very hilly, highway. just driving there in the hummer with no load, its constantly shifting in and out of gears and running through gas pretty quickly. adding a trailer to that would make me have to stop and get gas again before i even get there. these things are just so damn heavy, they have a hard enougj time chuggin themselves up hills....i wouldnt trust myself to tow my car behind it. i have a 01 2500 silverado with 264K on it that i would trust towing my car , more than the hummer.....well, i cant really say that. but i would pick the silverado to tow it if i had to choose.
