Airbag

hey i heard back in 1990 that camaros were introduced air bags on the driver side. But was the 1st airbag in a 1990 Iroc or a 1991 Camaro ?( 91 camaros came out in 90 and 90 Irocs came out in 89) So which model had it 1st? I know that both cars had the same steering wheel and everything. Thanks guys

I own 2 1990 Camaros, both of which were manufactured in 89, and both have airbags.

My vert is a 305 with a T5. My other 90 is an RS originally equipped with an L03 305 TBI and a T5. Currently it has an L98 350 TPI with the original T5.

All that crap you hear about how you can't have a 350 in front of a T5 because it will break it is a bunch of horse****. Mine works just fine.

I drive it like a normal car. I don't beat the crap out of it, but I don't baby it either. The only way it's gonna break is if it gets abused, which you can do with a 305 just as easy.
