I'm most familiar with the Southern CA end of it. Much of the desert route (from a little north of San Bernardino, and northeast) essentially parallels Interstates. Rte. 66 is not always well maintained... there are sections out in the desert that seem to be more pothole than pavement, and it becomes sort of a speed control device. No matter what vehicle I am in, I don't like to go over 50 MPH on certain desert sections.
However... I could never recommend leaving the Camaro at home, as long as it's got the room for your passengers and cargo. Nothing better than a roadtrip in a Camaro, especially for a nostalgia tour like a Rte. 66 venture. If you do find the roads a little rough in places, you can always (a) take it a little slower (not my preferred solution), or (b) run along the parallel Interstates. It's still essentially the same route, you'll see the same things, and Rte. 66 will be in your sight... so it counts as Rte. 66!
