Could this have been the same for the GTAs of the same years? They mentioned it was for added engine cooling. Ive noticed my 89 GTA's fogs are gone. I doubt mine was the case since the buttons for fogs are in the dash, but was there an option to delete fogs for GTA's or a part of a package such as G92?

 

My Friend has an 87 IROC-Z with the G92 option, and he has the fog lights.. and it's on his RPO sheet. So it did come from the factory with it.

 

Never heard that 1, G92 or not it should have the lights.

 

Sounds like you're headin in the 1LE direction....

 

Its in the Z vs Z magazine article in the magazine section on this site. and its about the then new for 90 IROC with the 1LE, notice the end of this cut out of the article mentions if it has fogs "its not a G92 car".

"The parlance for this special car was known as "1LE," which was a Chevrolet internal processing code for the hot parts back in '88 when nobody outside of a few key personnel knew anything about it. It was Heinricy's way to get some GM engineering parts onto his team's SCCA "showroom stock" Camaros and make it appear like they were actual production parts that any Joe with a checkbook could buy. The scheme worked, and Heinricy and crew were kicking tail soon afterward on the track. Only six "1LE" Camaros were built in that first year".

"Included in that package (now officially known as "G92") are items such as 12-inch diameter front disc brakes, special fuel tank baffling (to prevent fuel starvation on tight turns), unique shock valving, an engine oil cooler, performance exhaust system, limited-slip axle with 3.42 gearing, and even an aluminum driveshaft. But Chevy is serious about keeping these cars in short supply and purposely has not allowed for air conditioning to be ordered along with this performance-only package. Thus, you've gotta make the choice: cold air or a hot Camaro".

"Streetwise Chevy fans of the Nineties will know to check out the fog lamps of the new top-line Camaro. If the lights are present, it's not a G92 car. They are deleted by the factory to allow for better airflow to the engine".

 

Well, thats BS. G92 cars had them as did all regular production IROC-Z's, only 1LE's did not.

 

I assume that this is a rescent article, Considering that we are looking back on heinsight I would consider that there are a lot of assumptions floating around that are incorrect. It was like t-tops and 350 cars only a few years ago we could have sworn that they did not exist with factory tops... the mag probably did an article and found this guy with a car and this is what he thinks, and its the way his car is therefore it must be true.

Another thing is there was a 1LE Formula at the T/A nats, it had power windows, which to my understanding was not available on the 1LE. There was another without power windows tho so it was deletable, but inconsistant to alot of information we think we know.

need I go on???
