Although it was technically a compact (by the standards of the time), the Camaro, like the entire class of Mustang competitiors, was soon known as a pony car.

Though the car’s name was contrived with no meaning, General Motors researchers found the word in a French dictionary as a slang term for “friend” or “companion.” Ford Motor Company researchers discovered other definitions, including “a shrimp-like creature” and an arcane term for “loose bowels”! In some automotive periodicals before official release, it was code-named “Panther”.

Four distinct generations of the car were produced.

Generation 1

1967
Sharing mechanicals with the upcoming 1968 Chevrolet Nova, the Camaro featured unibody structure. Chevrolet offered the car in only two body styles, a coupe and convertible. Almost 80 factory and 40 dealer options including three main packages were avaible.

* RS Package included many cosmetic changes such as RS badging, hidden headlights, blacked out grill, revised taillights and interior trims.

* SS Package included modified 5.7 L (350 in³) V8 engine (first 350 in³ engine ever offered by Chevrolet), also L35 396 in³ “big block” was avaible. SS featured non-functional air inlets on the hood, special striping and blacked out grill. It was possible to order both – RS and SS packages to receive RS/SS Camaro. In 1967 Camaro RS/SS Convertible Camaro with 396 in³ engine paced the Indianapolis 500 race.

* Z28 option code was introduced in 1966. This option package wasn’t mentioned in any sales literature so was unknown by most of the buyers. The only way to order Z28 package was to order base Camaro with Z28 option, front disc brakes, power steering and Muncie 4-speed transmission.

Z28 package featured unique 302 in³ “small block” engine, designed specifically to compete in the Club of America Trans Am racing series (which required engines smaller than 305 in³ and public availablity of the car).

Advertised power of this engine was listed at 290 hp (216 kW) while actual dyno readings rated it at 360 to 400 hp (269 to 298 kW). Z28 also came with upgraded suspension and racing stripes on the hood. It was possible to combine Z28 package with RS package. Only 602 Z28′s were sold.

Generation 2

The larger second-generation Camaro featured an all-new sleek body and improved suspension. The 1970-1/2 Camaro debuted as a 2+2 coupe; no convertible was offered and would not appear again until well into the third generation.

Most of the engine and drivetrain components were carried over from 1969 with the exception of the 230 in³ (3.8 L) six cylinder — the base engine was now the 250 in³ (4.1 L) six rated at 155 hp (116 kW).

The top performing motor was a L-78 396 in³ (6.5 L) V8 rated at 375 hp (280 kW). (Starting in 1970, the 396 in³ big block V8′s actually displaced 402 in³ (6.6 L), yet Chevrolet chose to retain the 396 badging.) Two 454 in³ (7.4 L) engines – the LS-6 and LS-7 – were listed on early specification sheets but never made it into production.

Besides the base model, buyers could select the “Rally Sport” option with a distinctive front nose and bumper, a “Super Sport” package, and the “Z-28 Special Performance Package” featuring a new high-performance 360 hp (268 kW) 350 in³ (5.7 L) cid V8.
1972

The 1972 Camaro suffered two major setbacks. A UAW strike at a GM assembly plant in Ohio disrupted production for 174 days, and 1100 Camaros had to be scrapped because they did not meet 1973 Federal bumper safety standards.

Some at GM seriously considered dropping the Camaro and Firebird altogether, while others were convinced the models remained marketable. The latter group eventually convinced those in favor of dropping the F Cars to reconsider, and Chevrolet would go on to produce 68,656 Camaros in 1972, the lowest production numbers for any model year.

Generation 3
1982

The 1982 model introduced the first Camaros with factory fuel injection, four-speed automatic transmissions (three-speed on the earlier models), five-speed manual transmissions (four-speed manual transmissions in 1982, and some 83-84 models), 15 or 16-inch rims, hatchback body style, and even a four-cylinder engine for a brief period (due to concerns over fuel economy).

The Camaro Z28 was Motor Trend magazine’s Car of the Year for 1982.

1985

In 1985 Chevrolet introduced a new Camaro model – the famous IROC-Z, called after popular racing series. IROC-Z Camaro featured upgraded suspension, special decal package and Tuned Port Injection system taken from the Chevrolet_Corvette Third generation Camaros also had a suspension system that was more capable in corners than the previous generation.

The Camaro IROC-Z was on Car and Driver magazine’s Ten Best list for 1985.

Engines

* 1978-1981 5.7 L (350 in³) Small-Block V8
* 1982-1985 2.5 L (151 in³) Iron Duke L4

* 1985-1992 5.7 L (350 in³) Small-Block V8

Generation 4
1993

1993 began the fourth and last generation of Camaros, lasting through the 2002 model year. Production of the fourth and final generation was moved from GM’s Van Nuys, California assembly plant to one in Ste. Therese, Quebec in 1993.

Though the car would no longer be produced in the US, the new design which incorporated lightweight plastic body panels over a steel space frame, and a better suspension, further improved upon the Camaro line.

From 1993 to 1997 the Camaro was available with the LT-1 engine, the same Generation II small block V8 used in the Corvette, although in slightly de-tuned form.

In 1996, the long-discontinued “SS” option was resurrected and in 1998, the all-new LS-1 engine Generation III small block was offered on the SS and Z28 Camaros, marking the end of the Generation I small block V8 that had its roots in Chevrolet’s 265 in³ engine of 1955. Unfortunately, sales were below expectations, and production of the Camaro ceased in 2002.
1998

1998 saw a new head light design for the Camaro. The new design removed the previous recessed-light design present in the 1982-1997 Camaros. The faux air intakes on the hood were also eliminated. In addition the LT1 engine was removed and instead an LS1 in its place.
Engines

* 1993-1995 3.4 L (208 in³) 60 Gen III V6
* 1995-2002 3.8 L (231 in³) 3800 Series II V6
* 1993-1997 5.7 L (350 in³) LT1 V8
* 1998-2002 5.7 L (350 in³) LS1 V8

2002
2002 marked the last year of the Chevrolet Camaro and was also the 35th anniversary for the Camaro. This milestone was celebrated with a special anniversary car modified from the factory by SLP. The anniversary package was only available on the SS (Super Sport).

Engine modifications were available in addition to the 325 hp (242 kW) engine which all Super Sports produce. Silver racing stripes down the hood and trunk lid made the car more noticeable than ever—especially against the Bright Rally Red paint (the only color available with the anniversary package).

The car also had the slogan attached to it “Leave a Lasting ImpreSSion” and had the logo embroidered in the seats. The car was only available as a convertible or with T-Tops. 3,000 Camaros with the anniversary package were produced for the United States and 152 for Canada.

Though production Camaros were never as fast as the flagship Corvette, the car cost less than half as much and was easily modified. If its frequent inclusion in automotive enthusiast magazines is any indication, the Chevy Camaro is one of the most popular cars for modification in the automotive history.

Throughout its history, the Camaro shared its internal body and major components with a sister car – the Pontiac Firebird.

The role of anti-roll bars When walking the same road about two bumps or holes, the anti-roll bars and will not function properly. However, if the left and right wheels are raised or holes through the different road when the level is around two highly different time, will cause the torsion shaft, resulting in anti-dumping resistance (RollResistance) inhibition of body roll. That is when the left and right sides of the suspension moves up and down simultaneously when the roll bars on the effect does not occur only in the left and right suspension or steering cornering road surface caused by fluctuations of sync action only when the anti-roll bars have an effect. Anti-roll bars only in the role of the road will only harden, spring will be hard not to walk on the road of full hardening. If you want to completely * springs to reduce body roll that may need to be very hard spring, but to use high damping shock absorber to suppress the spring bounce, this way we will have to take the hard springs and shock absorbers caused by the device, such as the road of, when the tracking of uneven road passing bad side effects. But with the appropriate anti-roll bars can reduce roll, but should not sacrifice comfort and tracking resistance. Therefore, anti-roll bars and spring mix is to reach the road and handling the most feasible way of compromise.

Features anti-roll bars

Roll bars and springs provide resistance to anti-dumping are complementary, and resistance to anti-dumping occur in pairs, ie anti-dumping front and rear of the resistance is associated with resistance to anti-dumping occurred, but because body weight ratio, and the relationship between the role of other external forces will make the resistance before and after the anti-dumping and uneven, this way it will directly affect the body weight transfer and control of balance. If the rear wheel anti-dumping resistance might cause the oversteer (Oversteer), otherwise if the front wheel anti-dumping resistance might cause the understeer (Understeer). In order to improve the control we can make use of anti-roll bars to control body rolling can also be used to control the body’s resistance before and after anti-dumping apportioned. Anti-roll bars to achieve the most important feature is the balance between control and limit body roll when cornering to improve Tire The paste for the location. Within the wheel when cornering bend stretch and bend outer suspension suspension is compressed, then roll bars to reverse the inhibition of such a situation arises. It will bend the suspension applied outer pressure of a downward force, while the bending facilities within the wheel suspension of a lift force, imposed on the force about suspension is equal and opposite restraining each other. Anti-roll bars too soft independent suspension in the car will cause excessive camber when cornering, reducing tire contact area, too hard can cause the tire is not close to the ground, affecting handling. Inside of the bend wheel, the anti-roll bars on the wheel and the spring force applied to the force applied on the wheel is in the opposite direction, the spring force generated by the wheel pressure can be put back to the ground, while the roll bars but will it leave the ground. If the anti-roll bars to reduce the wheel too hard will force pressure back to the ground, if this happens in the driving wheel, may make refueling bending curve obtained within the smaller wheel grip, causing the tire spinning. It has a high-powered cars are not LSD is very dangerous, the ideal state is to provide anti-roll bars anti-dumping anti-dumping resistance control of the total resistance of 20% to 50%.

Exhaust system basically consists of five parts:

1. With the engine cylinder head exhaust manifold connected to the part of the name, commonly known as dead air banana, the role of the exhaust gas flowing through the cylinder head exhaust port collected so that it can smoothly discharge;

2. Turbo The engine, turbo exhaust side exit after the piece is called FRONTPIPE, Chinese “first installment”; NA engine from the bridge in addition to three-way catalytic exhaust gas flows, there is one that can make the engine and exhaust to achieve soft link;

3. After the environmental role is played a “catalytic device,” required no more talk all know, is not the day for their own station car was cut emissions under the test plus a fine;

4. And then after that the drum (FRONTSILENCER), if used in the car, then it should be said is not in the role of drum major, or even cancel, but if a street car, modified, is to simply say reduce exhaust resonance phenomenon when;

5. Keep off the end of the exhaust is called drum (REARSILENCER), commonly known as dead air hose, also considered to be the most modified part.

Exhaust system modifications, plainly, is to reduce exhaust back pressure, back pressure of the definition, the academic point is: because the pressure inside the exhaust pipe to obstruct the exhaust pulse power. Reduce the back pressure actually make smoke, exhaust turn more smoothly, to lengthen the valve overlap time. Modified exhaust system, should start, the tail section to start, this concept of conversion companies in the country know, but what to do, many shops will be granted, or just-do, loud on the line. In fact converted (the drums) to end (drums), the key-shaped design to look after, but the design can be divided into “short and thick-type”, that is, to minimize the tube length and diameter increased, this change law and not suitable for routine Travel As back down, low rpm exhaust flow slowly, resulting in none of the cylinder combustion of mixed gas was discharged, in the low rpm torque performance of the natural difference, but high transfer, pulse-intensive, high-turn under the exhaust smooth, large increase in horsepower; the other on the line

“Slim”, converted on just replacing the tube material, and did not change the original curved shape, or even slightly thinner tail section, the benefits of this reform law is suitable for everyday city driving, high pressure pipe, exhaust can quickly drain away, the transfer torque low growth, but high turn the horsepower would not be as under. The tail drum, forms no more than two, a system called reflective, most of the original tail drum is, but, the problem is the resistance of large Power Serious loss; the second is called linear, the principle is very simple, basically import export department with the same straight line, silencing methods rely solely on the end of sound-absorbing cotton and cut, and almost all have adopted a modified tail drum linear.

It to end before the change, best according to their daily needs with Driving habits Would only be wise. End to End in

change should be on the ternary catalyst, and its role is to slow down the exhaust flow rate, and the formation of resistance. However, changes in the domestic problems faced by many catalysts, such as using fake catalytic performance and the prices cheap, but if caught on whom to test vehicle emissions, then emissions will certainly fail! However, if put on the real conversion catalysts, the price is very expensive, although the performance will be compared with original factory in a substantial increase, but really not everyone can afford or are willing to consumption, the million yuan to 20,000 yuan is not unusual for prices .

Dead air banana be the most important part of the exhaust system modifications, is the most dramatic. Original material of dead air banana usually cast iron, some of the depot will use stainless steel, like BMW, original banana exhaust because mass production, so not only very rough walls, even the exhaust manifold’s length is not consistent and so it was a so-called phenomenon of exhaust interference. So, why Market There are few BMW cars modified banana dead air Sell I think a big reason is because the BMW’s original product is already a stainless steel, and has a very high quality and high performance owes something to both.

Modified banana with dead air, usually with stainless steel material, simply use a few of its advantages: high temperature performance; walls thin, the overall weight; stainless steel tube wall does not have to polish slip This procedure, but their products than the original smooth a lot of pig iron, the movement is conducive to exhaust; the other is easy to bend and cutting, to achieve the objective of equal length is easy, especially in the NA change TURBO occasions, inevitably Use stainless steel dead air is to easily accommodate banana position. Manifold length of equal length, actually increase the horsepower have a positive impact, in theory, the work of each cylinder is the same order and time, if the exhaust pipe of varying length, the efficiency of each cylinder’s exhaust must be biased, reducing the efficiency, but also between the various articles Manifold pressure difference exists, the end result is to exhaust pulse inevitable confusion, horsepower and torque outputs to the natural low; in TURBO engine, some say academic, as much as possible so that turbine exhaust side blades are quantitative, smooth, continuous attacks, so that the speed limit turbine work, efficiency, stability, a substantial increase, which can increase the boost pressure.

First batch, FRONTPIPE, is connected to a three-way catalytic dead air banana fruit that part of the exhaust pipe (exhaust gas turbine engine is the outlet to the catalytic side). NA cars will be fewer people to change part of the reason is not apparent. However, if the TURBO engine exhaust modifications, basically will replace his head approval, and why? This is because the relationship to the other proper nouns: second row of pressure. Very simple gas turbine vane by promoting the smooth flow of the exhaust section of a direct influence on the work TURBINE speed limit, the principle on the death of the car a little gas as NA banana role.

From luxury to affordable

An audiophile changes

In Yiwu, Xiaodong famous car clubs, car serviced every day to earn the beauty of cars flooded. Cao Xiaodong boss from the early 90s of the last century in the industry, he is also a Car Audio Enthusiasts.

As favorite car, Cao Xiaodong’s car replaced many times, each time he would bother to take some decoration. If he has more than 20 million of the price of buying a Chevrolet sport utility vehicle, the wind pulled the car looks natural also accompanied by internal enjoy Caixing. So he set converted audio. To his car he was willing to under the original capital renovation, a few million amplifier, a speaker several thousand dollars, the whole car 67 speakers with DVD and other equipment. Cao Xiaodong can not determine their own off-road car modified modified Chevrolet Yiwu sound is not the most expensive, but modified set of speakers spent more than 10 million yuan, nearly half the price of the car, which was converted in his own shop, did not count three or four days of labor costs. Cao Xiaodong, said Car Audio Original price is higher than normal stereo, which we choose the better quality brands will be higher prices.

Today, a Mazda commercial vehicle imports became his new favorite, 7 room looked very comfortable. To enhance the vehicle’s comfort, he had some drastic renovation. But this time, he changed course to go low price??? Replacement and to install a car horn, installed DVD video without extra cost less than 20,000 yuan.

We sat the car back, open the DVD, while viewing the MV, while listening to music, to truly feel its shock effect no less than the dance hall, no one is close to its people poised to follow dance some. Such an effect, even if it took a few more, for enthusiasts, it may worth it.

Converted audio is also very particular about

Compared with the modified car outside, sound modified by the more sought after, become car owners to improve the quality of life inside the vehicle of choice.

According to auto club Xiaodong introduction of professional technicians, customers in Yiwu converted a lot of sound, some people are willing to spend, spend as much as 1,000 yuan or even 10 thousand gold to modify a car stereo, but many people on how to choose the conversion and use of car audio is not much to know. In general, high-end car audio systems have been relatively good, no need to modify. The ten 200,000 cars are more adaptable, and great room.

Cao Xiaodong, said many people to the store converted sound, open and asked “is not to spend a lot of money.” Because such a modification, after all, is a kind of enjoyment, some people believe that a good quality car audio conversion To, craft well, have to spend a lot of money to achieve. In fact, conversion may not have to pay big bucks sound, the key is the vehicle to clear what effect you want. Now a lot of people pay attention to affordable, could spend 10 thousand dollars a range of car audio equipment, there’s only 23 thousand dollars can be in the car’s atmosphere to enhance a grade.

After several years of development, car audio conversion is relatively mature, both brand equipment or technicians have a certain assurance process, but said Cao Xiaodong, car audio conversion technology is a key factor, car audio conversion engineering good or bad determine the effect of modified determines whether the selected product to play its proper effectiveness. Car audio and home audio is not the same need to consider the vibration, dust, heat and so on many factors. Car less space, the installation location of the sound quality speaker greater impact, it is best to ensure the quality of professional car audio brand stores to install.

And persons with disabilities to receive C5 on the driver’s license is a message it sparked a huge wave, driver’s license test on the disabled in China Modified car Industry influence discussions intensified. Disabled road driving in the end for China Modified car What industry? China’s auto industry again in this case converted into what kind of change into the people most concerned about.

Give disabled drivers modification of Chinese auto industry what? (HC Auto Accessories Network with map)

According to the 2007 National Bureau of Statistics, the second national sample survey of persons with disabilities leading group released a second national survey data with disabilities, the total number of 8296 Chinese all categories of disabled people, accounting for 6.34% total population. Among them, 2004 people with hearing disability, physical disability 2412 people.

Is not difficult to imagine, when people flock to this 4000, when the car market, the market will have a much impact. The car modification, as disabled drivers must go through a procedure, it is essential to its tremendous development of access to the industry.

Due to policy constraints of the current market has not yet appeared specifically designed for disabled vehicles, special purpose vehicles which are converted through a new car or used car made of. The relevant departments listed in the disabled passenger vehicles dedicated small Automatic new car or used car can be modified, but must be regular production vehicles, Sell , Installation of auxiliary equipment repair enterprises, does not allow unauthorized installation and removal. But also in the body before and after the special symbol to set the disabled vehicle, and modified in the car, after passing inspection by the quality inspection department to the road this provision. Formal vehicle for those who manufacture, sale, maintenance enterprises smell great opportunities, consciously and unconsciously have to look into turning the vast piece of land yet to be reclaimed.

The just-swallowed Volvo’s Geely, with its keen business sense of smell, it is to look locked in a modified design of vehicle volume. “If there is market demand, it touches on the design can be modified volume.” Geely Holding Group Co., Ltd., said Chenxi Hui, deputy director of news.

Difficult to envisage such a large-scale enterprises to join, will the number of blood into the car modification industry, the Chinese car modification industry in turn been in this kind of leap in innovation.

Current car modification industry in China, because of delays in deep gray areas are reflected in its brilliant light. Unscrupulous conversion, conversion drag racing and other undesirable information accepted by the people on the mere mention of the phenomenon of conversion also occur. The main force of a vehicle conversion industry, those engaged in the cause of the modified conversion shopkeepers, but also because of policy restrictions, also played the role of the pop.

We have seen, usually in a modified car business always Auto Beauty , Car decoration As a business, real big conversion, modification experts are always rare find, it is more similar to the “small workshop” of the conversion shop. Some major brands of Queen

modification department, modification Cooperation Partners because of their narrow-minded, and not the inevitable constraints of involvement in every area of car modification, rudderless state of delay in China’s car industry can not be modified effective gravity and development.

The injection of a large number of car manufacturers, car modification industry believe will inject more new elements. Let us see the reasoning behind the car modified national responsibility, the interpretation of the definition of comfort modified.

Time, modified car is no longer a car racing conversion words, it is no longer just a simple tool to increase the power to find pleasure. We will change disabled compatriots special car to see the enormous automotive power modified to allow greater understanding of vehicle modification and support. Each modification is not for power, not drag racing related with each modification.

Car modification, will be more comprehensive real rational interpretation, it will get more exposure and support. When people die for the modification of the misunderstanding, when the national government gradually relaxed restrictions on the conversion time. We can see that China’s auto modification industry, it’s hope.

Brought by disabled people who drive cars modified for the concern, will promote the rapidly growing popularity of car modification knowledge and industry. We also have reason to believe that people with disabilities to drive, not only respect for human rights in China an important embodiment of more car modification industry in China will take off an excellent opportunity.

Mainenance Costs: Engine Repair Tools for Much Less

If you have a minor repair such a maintenance problem, why not cut costs by doing it yourself? There are many “how-to” online tutorials and printed books that can show you step-by-step. The bonus is that you’ll only be spending money on the parts and supplies.. The auto repair shops can really mark up the parts, plus, you’ll be paying them for labor at upwards of about $70 an hour. If you aren’t comfortable with doing any of these tasks yourself, ask your family or friends if they can help you out or consider taking your car to a college campus to have supervised students do the work. Many friends and family are glad to help out and can be paid for their time with a six-pack or a pizza lunch; student training facilities can cut the costs in half for you.

Automotive Care Costs: Discount Auto Parts and Services for Less

Additional non-major repairs that require a little more skill can still be accomplished by yourself. Take, for example, resurfacing rotors, figuring out what an engine code means, or replacing spark plugs. Local car parts stores often times offer less-expensive diagnostic and resurfacing services than at the specialized repair shops. Diagnosing engine codes can be especially frustrating. In some states, you can drive to your parts supplier and they can run the diagnostic test for you to determine the problem. However, some localities don’t allow this, but the code-reading tool is inexpensive to purchase (approximately $200). It can cost $90 or so to have your dealer run a diagnostic test on your car’s computer. But for the cost of 2 diagnostic tests you can have this handy tool at your convenience right at home!

Basic Maintenance and Automotive Care Don’t Have to Break the Bank

Rotor resurfacing can be tricky because they have to have enough “meat” on them in order to be resurfaced. A specific range of rotor metal in millimeters must be met to remain at a nominal depth. Don’t worry, however, because the resurfacing shops will tell you on the spot if they meet the thickness requirements. Additionally, they have the machine right there to get the job done. In an equally easy manner, spark plugs are available for purchase at the automotive care and supply store and the minimum gap is displayed clearly on the package. A gapper tool for your spark plugs costs only $50 or less if you don’t already have one. You can also rotate your own tires by using a standard jack.

Although it was technically a compact (by the standards of the time), the Camaro, like the entire class of Mustang competitiors, was soon known as a pony car.

Though the car’s name was contrived with no meaning, General Motors researchers found the word in a French dictionary as a slang term for “friend” or “companion.” Ford Motor Company researchers discovered other definitions, including “a shrimp-like creature” and an arcane term for “loose bowels”! In some automotive periodicals before official release, it was code-named “Panther”.

Four distinct generations of the car were produced.

Generation 1

1967
Sharing mechanicals with the upcoming 1968 Chevrolet Nova, the Camaro featured unibody structure. Chevrolet offered the car in only two body styles, a coupe and convertible. Almost 80 factory and 40 dealer options including three main packages were avaible.

* RS Package included many cosmetic changes such as RS badging, hidden headlights, blacked out grill, revised taillights and interior trims.

* SS Package included modified 5.7 L (350 in³) V8 engine (first 350 in³ engine ever offered by Chevrolet), also L35 396 in³ “big block” was avaible. SS featured non-functional air inlets on the hood, special striping and blacked out grill. It was possible to order both – RS and SS packages to receive RS/SS Camaro. In 1967 Camaro RS/SS Convertible Camaro with 396 in³ engine paced the Indianapolis 500 race.

* Z28 option code was introduced in 1966. This option package wasn’t mentioned in any sales literature so was unknown by most of the buyers. The only way to order Z28 package was to order base Camaro with Z28 option, front disc brakes, power steering and Muncie 4-speed transmission.

Z28 package featured unique 302 in³ “small block” engine, designed specifically to compete in the Club of America Trans Am racing series (which required engines smaller than 305 in³ and public availablity of the car).

Advertised power of this engine was listed at 290 hp (216 kW) while actual dyno readings rated it at 360 to 400 hp (269 to 298 kW). Z28 also came with upgraded suspension and racing stripes on the hood. It was possible to combine Z28 package with RS package. Only 602 Z28′s were sold.

Generation 2

The larger second-generation Camaro featured an all-new sleek body and improved suspension. The 1970-1/2 Camaro debuted as a 2+2 coupe; no convertible was offered and would not appear again until well into the third generation.

Most of the engine and drivetrain components were carried over from 1969 with the exception of the 230 in³ (3.8 L) six cylinder — the base engine was now the 250 in³ (4.1 L) six rated at 155 hp (116 kW).

The top performing motor was a L-78 396 in³ (6.5 L) V8 rated at 375 hp (280 kW). (Starting in 1970, the 396 in³ big block V8′s actually displaced 402 in³ (6.6 L), yet Chevrolet chose to retain the 396 badging.) Two 454 in³ (7.4 L) engines – the LS-6 and LS-7 – were listed on early specification sheets but never made it into production.

Besides the base model, buyers could select the “Rally Sport” option with a distinctive front nose and bumper, a “Super Sport” package, and the “Z-28 Special Performance Package” featuring a new high-performance 360 hp (268 kW) 350 in³ (5.7 L) cid V8.
1972

The 1972 Camaro suffered two major setbacks. A UAW strike at a GM assembly plant in Ohio disrupted production for 174 days, and 1100 Camaros had to be scrapped because they did not meet 1973 Federal bumper safety standards.

Some at GM seriously considered dropping the Camaro and Firebird altogether, while others were convinced the models remained marketable. The latter group eventually convinced those in favor of dropping the F Cars to reconsider, and Chevrolet would go on to produce 68,656 Camaros in 1972, the lowest production numbers for any model year.

Generation 3
1982

The 1982 model introduced the first Camaros with factory fuel injection, four-speed automatic transmissions (three-speed on the earlier models), five-speed manual transmissions (four-speed manual transmissions in 1982, and some 83-84 models), 15 or 16-inch rims, hatchback body style, and even a four-cylinder engine for a brief period (due to concerns over fuel economy).

The Camaro Z28 was Motor Trend magazine’s Car of the Year for 1982.

1985

In 1985 Chevrolet introduced a new Camaro model – the famous IROC-Z, called after popular racing series. IROC-Z Camaro featured upgraded suspension, special decal package and Tuned Port Injection system taken from the Chevrolet_Corvette Third generation Camaros also had a suspension system that was more capable in corners than the previous generation.

The Camaro IROC-Z was on Car and Driver magazine’s Ten Best list for 1985.

Engines

* 1978-1981 5.7 L (350 in³) Small-Block V8
* 1982-1985 2.5 L (151 in³) Iron Duke L4
* 1982-1984 2.8 L (173 in³) LC1 V6

* 1985-1992 5.7 L (350 in³) Small-Block V8

Generation 4
1993

1993 began the fourth and last generation of Camaros, lasting through the 2002 model year. Production of the fourth and final generation was moved from GM’s Van Nuys, California assembly plant to one in Ste. Therese, Quebec in 1993.

Though the car would no longer be produced in the US, the new design which incorporated lightweight plastic body panels over a steel space frame, and a better suspension, further improved upon the Camaro line.

From 1993 to 1997 the Camaro was available with the LT-1 engine, the same Generation II small block V8 used in the Corvette, although in slightly de-tuned form.

In 1996, the long-discontinued “SS” option was resurrected and in 1998, the all-new LS-1 engine Generation III small block was offered on the SS and Z28 Camaros, marking the end of the Generation I small block V8 that had its roots in Chevrolet’s 265 in³ engine of 1955. Unfortunately, sales were below expectations, and production of the Camaro ceased in 2002.
1998

1998 saw a new head light design for the Camaro. The new design removed the previous recessed-light design present in the 1982-1997 Camaros. The faux air intakes on the hood were also eliminated. In addition the LT1 engine was removed and instead an LS1 in its place.
Engines

* 1993-1995 3.4 L (208 in³) 60 Gen III V6
* 1995-2002 3.8 L (231 in³) 3800 Series II V6
* 1993-1997 5.7 L (350 in³) LT1 V8
* 1998-2002 5.7 L (350 in³) LS1 V8

2002
2002 marked the last year of the Chevrolet Camaro and was also the 35th anniversary for the Camaro. This milestone was celebrated with a special anniversary car modified from the factory by SLP. The anniversary package was only available on the SS (Super Sport).

Engine modifications were available in addition to the 325 hp (242 kW) engine which all Super Sports produce. Silver racing stripes down the hood and trunk lid made the car more noticeable than ever—especially against the Bright Rally Red paint (the only color available with the anniversary package).

The car also had the slogan attached to it “Leave a Lasting ImpreSSion” and had the logo embroidered in the seats. The car was only available as a convertible or with T-Tops. 3,000 Camaros with the anniversary package were produced for the United States and 152 for Canada.

Though production Camaros were never as fast as the flagship Corvette, the car cost less than half as much and was easily modified. If its frequent inclusion in automotive enthusiast magazines is any indication, the Chevy Camaro is one of the most popular cars for modification in the automotive history.

Throughout its history, the Camaro shared its internal body and major components with a sister car – the Pontiac Firebird.
