Neither Camaro nor the similar Pontiac Firebird is cheap, even today. But provocative styling of this generation–coupled with brawny V8 engines–still lures younger fans, in particular. OverviewIntroduced in this form way back in 1982, the popular Camaro came in both hatchback coupe and convertible form–the latter added during ’87. Base and performance-oriented IROC-Z editions were on sale in 1990. By 1990, all Camaros had a driver-side airbag. New standard equipment included a tilt steering wheel, tinted glass, intermittent wipers, and halogen headlamps. The high-performance IROC-Z convertible gained a standard limited-slip differential and new 16-inch alloy wheels, but those items were optional on the IROC-Z coupe. The ’90 dashboard flaunted new yellow-gauge graphics, further enhancing the car’s assertive nature. Yearly Updates
Engineslongitudinal front-engine/rear-wheel drive A new 3.1-liter V6 replaced the former 2.8-liter as base engine for 1990. Three V8 choices were available that year: a 5.0-liter V8 with throttle-body fuel injection, making 170 horsepower; another 5.0-liter with port injection, rated 220 horsepower; and a 5.7-liter V8 that cranked out 230 horses (available only in the IROC-Z). Only a 4-speed automatic transmission was available for use with the 5.7-liter V8, but other engines could have either 5-speed manual shift or the optional automatic. For 1991, the Z28 took over the role of the deleted IROC Z, carrying either a 230-horsepower 5.0-liter V8 or the optional 5.7-liter, upped to 245 horsepower.
Road TestCamaros are tight in back even for children, with only modest room for parcels and luggage, though a lift-up hatch and fold-down rear seatback add some cargo space. Owners face a snug driving position, with tight head room. Mated to 5-speed manual shift, the V6 RS models offer the best performance/economy balance. With judicious use of the gearshift, a V6 Camaro doesn’t feel particularly underpowered. Those with V8 engines perform as promised, delivering quick acceleration but dismal gas mileage. Poor wet-weather traction is another major drawback. Camaros are notorious for twitchy behavior on wet or icy roads. The all-coil-spring suspension gives Camaro some agility. Ride comfort is acceptable on V6 models, but punishing on the stiffly sprung Z28. Expect squeaks and rattles on many Z28s, and on convertibles of either rank. Even when nearly new, ragtops tended to suffer from numerous rattles, clanks, and similar auditory misbehavior.
