My 91z28(last one I had) had the G92 option but had drum brakes in the rear. My new 91z28 has the same thing. I thought the G92 came with disc.

Isn't that the code for the gear ratio?

I think in 91, there was a shortage of disc brake rear axles, so they substituted drums, and gave new car buyers a credit to compensate.

You might try asking this in the history board.
