Simple one for you Camaro guys...

I know early on they had the SC, Berlinetta and an F41 (or something like that) , but from was there a "Base Camaro" NO SC, NO Berlinetta???

I am not a Camaro Guy, but I have one in the back and was just wondering what it might be...

John

 

The Sport coupe (SC) was the base Camaro. However, there was no "Camaro SC" -- it was only a Camaro

 

Yup, he is correct.

 

OK,

So what your telling me is The base camaro was called a "Sport Coupe". It was an assumed name...

Unlike the "Firebird" that had the Base Firebird, all base Camaros were called Sport Coupes...

John

 

Camaro Sport Coupe yes. 89-92 the RS took over this spot.

 

Firebird went like this:

1982 - 1986:
Firebird (economy)
Firebird S/E (luxury)
Firebird Trans Am (performance)

1987-1992
Firebird (economy)
Firebird Formula (affordable performance)
Firebird Trans Am (performance)
Firebird Trans Am GTA (performance, luxury, loaded)

give or take

 

ok thanks....

 

And Camaro went like this

1982 - 1985:
Camaro (economy)
Berlinetta (luxury)
Camaro Z-28 (performance)

1985-1988
Camaro (economy)
Berlinetta (luxury) -- No More after 1986
Camaro Z-28 (affordable performance)
Camaro Z-28/ IROC Z(performance, luxury(?), loaded(?))

1989-1990
Camaro RS (economy)
Camaro IROC Z (performance)

1991-1992
Camaro RS (economy)
Camaro Z-28 (performance)

Any corrections are welcome!

 

I thought that in 1988 the RS got the special "Wing"... similar to but shorter than the 1991-1992 Z-28's

John

 

Yeah, it was a half year option. I didn't include the 88 RS because for 88 it was only introduced in (I think LA and Florida). 1989 was the first year for the RS in all markets.

Also forgot to mention the 1987 LT which replaced the berlinetta for one year

 

I See a TON of those 88 RS short spoilers up here... I know I have seen at least 5 different cars or so in Flint alone...

John

 

I've been looking to get one of those spoilers for my 86.

 

Umm so what about the 87 RS's then?!?! in 88 the base model was just a "Camaro" thats it. In 89 the RS took over the base model slot.

Kat

 

87 had the RS is limited markets and limited colors. In 88, you only had the Camaro (sport coupe) with the 1/2 year build of the shorty spoiler, and the IROC. Again, the RS was only available in limited markets. In 89, the base model was the RS and the IROC was the upgrade.

So basically, the RS was available from 87-92, with 87 and 88 being in limited markets, and in 88, the sport coupe was the base car.

 

No RS's got the shorty wing. Only the 88 Camaro got it. I wonder why gm even decided to put gfx's on the 88 Camaro's since it was the last year of it anyways. Oh yeah my camaro is a morphed one 85/with gfx.

 

The only markets where the RS was avilable in 87,88 were Cali, and Florida? Or was there 3 states that had them.

 

All you gotta do is read the Tech Data guys.
