The 1992 Camaro is an important vehicle to Chevrolet for the coupe market segment. The RS is a member of a series of four trim levels for the Camaro which include RS, RS Heritage Edition, Z28, and Z28 Heritage Edition. The two-door car with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Chevrolet. There is strong competition from vehicles from Honda.

Performance

The restyled Camaro RS is equipped with a General Motors 5.0-liter 8-cylinder engine that utilizes a total of 16 valves. The Chevrolet engine is paired with a Hydra-Matic 4-speed transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.

The Camaro uses power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are disc. Steering is handled through a power-steering gear-style configuration. The car uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.

The fuel system for the 1992 Camaro is a traditional TBI, running on gasoline fuel. The fuel is controlled by an electronic system and is a fuel-injected TBI design. The capacity of the fuel tank is 15.50 gallons.

Camaro RS Statistics

The Camaro is 192.60 inches long, 72.40 inches wide, and 50.40 inches high. It has a wheelbase of 101.00 inches. It is able to seat 4 comfortably.

There is a 50,000* mile, 60* month warranty with this vehicle, including a powertrain warranty of 50,000*/36* miles/months. This is normal for this price range.

The listed retail price in 1992 (MSRP) was $12,075, with an invoice cost of an industry-average price. This price is slightly higher than the industry average price for a two-door Coupe.

Fuel Efficiency

The Camaro RS received a miles-per-gallon rating of 17 - 18 in-city driving and twenty seven when it came to long-distance. Being a gas-powered non-green car, this was subpar.

In 1991 and 1992 the Camaro RS was availble in the exterior colors of several colors. Additional options were made available by the factory.
