1982 - 1992 Camaros

The Camaro's third generation was a complete technical departure from the car it replaced, with much more angular lines, overdrive transmissions, and modern fuel injection all now part of the package.

Engine options started with a wheezy 2.5-liter, 4-cylinder engine (offered due to fuel economy concerns caused by the energy crisis of 1979), and culminated with tuned-port-injected 5.0-liter(305-ci) and 5.7-liter (350-ci) V8s.

Most notable of the group was the IROC-Z, named after the popular International Race of Champions, which was offered starting in 1985. It featured an upgraded suspension as well as special decals, and included the high-performance, tuned-port injection system from the Corvette.
