| Additional Info: I believe the line-up from 1987-1992 now consisted of a 135bhp 2.8 V6 (1987-1990), a 140bhp 3.1 V6 (1990-1992) a 165-170bhp 5.0 TBI V8 RS (1988-1992), a 195-230bhp 5.0 TPI V8 (1987-1992), a 225-230bhp 5.7 TPI V8 (240bhp 1990, 245bhp 1991-1992). A limted number of special cars from 1988 called the 1LE were built that had various options deleted and numerous performance options added making this a lighter car, generally better handling, stopping and faster car (60mph came up in low 6's with 1/4 miles of around 14.8 secs). Also in 1987 a convertible was added. 1990 was the last year for the IROC. |

| Additional Info: 1991 see's a facelift with additional air ducts built into the front spoiler and side sills and for those that ordered it on the Z28, non-functional hood blisters and a high rise rear spoiler. The police/US government were also given the B4C code for their cars. A Heritage Package was offered as an optional extra for the 25th Anniversary Camaro in 1992, it consisted of hood and boot stripes, body colour grill, black headlamp pockets and a boot badge. |
