It also pushed the weight forward more toward the polar center of the car, improving handling. What was left was what you see below. Not practical for some things, but great for the T-Tops when removed, tucked away in their fitted vinyl carrying case. You can tell this is not a T-Top car because there are no tie-downs on that carpeted deck.
T-Top cars came from the factory with four tie-downs, two up top and two below, to be used to secure that T-Top bag even under hard cornering, which the Chevrolet Camaro Z28 was very capable of doing.
Note the plastic cover on the far end of this photo below, with the four vent-holes in it. This is where the space-saver spare tire lives. For the Chevrolet Camaro, the Z28 name was back, for the first time since The IROC, as it was called, was meant to commemorate the International Race of Champions, a race series where drivers piloted identical cars, and from through , those cars were Camaros. Chevrolet purchased the licensing rights to be able to use the name on their cars.
But the deal ran out in There were two engine options: the LB9 5. If you ordered them right, all sorts of interesting things were possible. They all included the G92 performance package, which included 4-wheel disk brakes, and engine oil cooler and the all-important dual-catalytic converter 2-intointo-2 exhaust system that added 15 extra horses.
If you ordered it without air conditioning race car-style , it came with heavy duty front disk brakes grafted from the Corvette an aluminum driveshaft, an aluminum spare, special shocks, high-G fuel tank baffling with a special fuel pickup, and the fog lights were deleted so save weight and improve cooling.
In fact I bought it at an auction for normal Z28 prices because no one knew what it was besides me. Now features like AC, power windows, and power door locks are so common that any vehicle without them will probably have a lower resale value or lower Titlemax loan value. In the more pedestrian RS line, that was the L03 which came with TBI Throttle Body Injection , a system designed more for fuel economy and emissions than for performance, and it showed.
It was available with either a 5-speed manual or 4-speed R4 automatic. Z28s came standard with the hot version of the , the LB9 which had TPI Tuned Port Injection which very much was designed for performance, being shared with the Corvette. In this application it made hp with a single cat, but with the dual cats that came with the G92 package, that kicked up to hp. At the top of the heap was the B2L 5.
It made hp in standard form, and with the dual-cat exhaust system. Nowadays, some 4-cylinder compacts have more horsepower than a Corvette did back then. The Ford Mustang GT 5. The Corvette was at the top of the heap with hp. First off, you ordered it with the B2L 5. In standard form, it made hp. The G92 package also came with 4-wheel disk brakes, another step closer to the Vette. They did, however, have revised brakes, an engine cooler and limited slip axle.
Slightly less than were produced. There was also a stock racing model known as the 1LE that had been produced in very limited numbers for a couple of years. They were stripped down models i. Having received a slight interior update the previous year with a revised instrument panel, the inside of the Camaros stayed basically untouched.
Total production of the car was at ,, which was dramatically higher than the low production of the shorted previous year. Like the Z28, other than the minor exterior revisions, very little changes were made to the RS models, which were available in coupe and convertible models.
As usual, these were the best selling Camaros, and had a total production run of 85, After this , the Camaro had only two years remaining of being the only pony car available other than the Firebird. Fortunately, after lackluster sales numbers in , the third-generation Camaros would arrive for The second-generations cars had proven to be a massive success through most of the mids, but by the time the 90s came around, it was clear from sales numbers that the public was quickly tiring of the car.
