What is the temperature like this time of year. I hear horror stories about overheating and such, but I would think that today's cars should be able to maintain if your basic maintenance is good, tires and fluids.
Again, thanks for the input.

I can't imagine any problems with your Camaro... my 2011 has 73,000 miles, I crank the AC and make frequent trips to Vegas and back, often at very high speeds (I'm not admitting to anything, but I will say that I happen to have pretty good intel that confirms that even at triple digits, both speed and ambient temp, the car performs like a champ). I would not hesitate for a second about taking it on the trip you are planning.
Temps this time of year can be high... desert temps, especially Nevada and SoCal Desert, can run as high as 120, from now through September or so. Typical is more like 90 - 100 degrees. However, I assure you, you will be comfy and cool inside your car. Some prefer to drive the desert roads at night, to at least avoid the heat of direct sunlight, but, there are times when nighttime lows don't fall below 100, as the pavement and earth bake all day, releasing that heat right back atcha during the night. The sprints from car to gas station restroom, casino entrance, or restaurant will let you briefly taste the heat, but other than that, it'll be a piece of cake.
