Chevrolet Camaro Z28
The 1993 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 marked a complete redesign with striking new aerodynamic styling and significant performance improvements. The LT1 350 cubic inch V8 produced 275 horsepower, a substantial increase over the previous generation. The new Camaro featured advanced engineering including a sophisticated independent rear suspension adapted from the Corvette, four-wheel disc brakes, and available six-speed manual transmission. The low, wide stance and dramatic styling made it one of the most visually aggressive cars of the 1990s. Performance was excellent with sub-6-second 0-60 times and strong handling.
Check for Opti-Spark ignition issues on early models. Water leaks are common, particularly around T-tops. Rear differential can fail with abuse. Low mileage examples are becoming collectible. Manual transmission cars are more desirable than automatics.
The fourth-generation Camaro was built in Canada at the Sainte-Thérèse assembly plant. Early 1993 models had some teething problems with the Opti-Spark ignition system. The Z28 was the volume performance model, with the SS arriving later in 1996.
