why is this motor in my maro

alright so i was looking at the specs for the 85 sport coupe (what i have) on here and I have the 2.8L MFI v6 sport coupe, it says that motor went in berlineta(excuse spelling). My car doesnt have any berlineta emblems or anything, was this motor just an option or what?

the 2.8L mfi (LB8) was standard with the Berlinetta and an option with the Sport Coupe. The base for the SC was a 2.5L tbi (LQ9). Check out Camaro Specs section on the home page.

And not to be a jerk, but the car is a CAmaro, not a maro. You will find that as a pet peeve to a lot of people here.
