message: What year is the Camaro pictured here? It would be nice to figure out its proper year so that we can place it into the correct section. Anyone know? My knowledge on the third-gen is not so good. Roguegeek (talk) 03:07, 6 July 2007 (UTC)

"They had the 2.8 V6 fuel injected motor as standard with the 5.0 305 LT1 as an option."  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.201.106.211 (talk) 00:02, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  LT1 305? 

message: The article needs some minor corrections:
1982
* `Berlinetta' and `Cross Fire Injection': apostrophes do not match.
* "all aluminum": it should be written as "all-aluminum".
1985
* "Camaro IROC-Z was": I don't understand why IROC-Z should be in italic.
1986
* "IROC-Zs; In": what follows a semicolon should not be capitalized unless strictly necessary.
1987
* The 350 did come with t-tops or as GM calls them removable roof panels.
* The article talks about "IROC-Z28", "IROC-Z" and "Z28". What are the differences?
* "t-top" and "T-Top": everything should be "t-top".
* "VIN code of 2" is followed by "VIN code of 3": why should the second VIN link instead of the first one?
1989
* "RPO G92 also included the aforementioned dual-converter exhaust; 4-wheel disc brakes (RPO J65); engine oil cooler; P245/50ZR16 Goodyear Eagle unidirectional tires; a 135 mph (217 km/h) speedometer; and a tachometer with a 5,500 rpm redline."
I don't see the need of using semicolons instead of comas.
* "larger 11.65-inch (296 mm) rotors with 2-piston aluminium calipers from PBR (Same as Corvette models of this year); an aluminum driveshaft; a special baffled fuel tank; specific shock absorbers; and stiffer suspension bushings."
I don't see the need of using semicolons instead of comas.
1991
* "beefed up": it should be written as beefed-up.
I also add two comments:
* Although the world "coupe" is widely used in English, it should be written as "coupé" to reflet the way it sounds.
* It would be nice to have a picture for every production year.

message: Yes, Chevrolet actually did offer a twin-turbo option that produces 560 hp (and 23 psi of boost). I saw the third model at school today. All original. And I believe the statements don't need to be referenced because WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH says it's okay. "Paris is the capitol of France" for example is not referenced. 166.137.242.87 (talk) 23:43, 2 September 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: One of the senior-grade girls owns the car, and it's at the school. To protect her privacy I'm not telling you her name. While this twin-turbo kit was not a production option, it was an option for 1987 that could be installed via dealer order. Chevrolet cancelled the option due to the fact that the twin-turbo Camaro was too powerful (more powerful than any Corvette made before the 2009 ZR1). 107.77.75.77 (talk) 00:36, 3 September 2014 (UTC)

thread_title:  External links modified 

message: I am trying to understand what are the models offered for each ear for the 1982-1992 models. I have done some research and I found these links: http://www.camarotech.com/ThirdGenDescription.html and https://sethirdgen.org/production.htm. I have the feeling that the second is better than the first so bear with me. I collected some notes and this is what have for the models:
  
* 1982-1986: Sport coupé / Berlinetta	coupé / Z28 sport coupé / Z28/Z50 pace car edition 
* 1987: Sport coupé / Sport coupé convertible / Z28 sport coupé / Z28 sport coupé convertible 
* 1988: Sport coupé / Sport coupé convertible / IROC-Z / IROC-Z convertible 
* 1989-1990: RS / RS convertible / IROC-Z / IROC-Z convertible 
* 1991-1992: RS coupé / RS convertible / Z28 coupé / Z28 convertible
1. Are the above the correct labels for the models offered in 1982-1992?
2a. Specifically for 1988, should "IROC-Z" it be "IROC-Z coupé"?
2b. Similarly, for 1989-1990, should "RS" be "RS coupé"?
3a. In addition, https://sethirdgen.org/production.htm uses "IROC" for 1985-1987. Should that be "IROC-Z" instead?
3b. The 1988 section of this article says ""base" IROCs now got the previous year Z28's aluminum 15" 5-spoke wheels" and "Dash badges on the IROC still read "Z28" on top and "IROC-Z" below. The vin code 8 is the engine code for a real TPI 5.7L IROC". Should they be "IROC-Zs" and "IROC-Z" respectively?
3c. In the 1989 section I see an image of a white Camaro and the caption says "1989 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 IROC 1LE". Should that be just "IROC-Z" since Z28 was dropped in 1988 and replaced by IROC-Z?
3d. The article for 1989 says "This resulted with two models remaining, the base coupe and the IROC-Z." Would that "base coupe" be officially called "RS"?
4. In the 1989 section the article says "The 1989 model year signified the return of the RS designation (last used in 1987 on a limited edition California only model)." When the "RS" designation a standard initially?
I was also looking at production numbers for 1982 and 1983 at this link: http://www.camarotech.com/ThirdGenDescription.html. I compared them to this link: https://sethirdgen.org/production.htm. It looks like the first link has a bunch of errors (numbers do not add up) and I confirmed that when I did some calculations with the second link (which appears more accurate).
5. For 1982 I get either 189747 or 189777 and for 1983 I get 154831 or 154381. Can anybody confirm production numbers for 1982 and 1983?
Finally, I was looking at the 1991 color numbers at this page: http://www.nastyz28.com/camaro/camaro91.html#paint.
6. If I sum all 8 colors I get 100699. Summing the numbers at the links above gives 100838. Can anybody explain the discrepancy and confirm the exact production number for 1991?
7. In addition to the above, does anybody have numbers on models built with spoiler and without spoiler?
