The 1992 Camaro is an important vehicle to Chevrolet for the coupe market segment. The Z28 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 Kia.

Performance

The Camaro Z28 is equipped with a General Motors 5.0 liter eight-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The Chevrolet engine is mated to a Hydra-Matic 4-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.

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

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.

Camaro Z28 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.

The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $12,075 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of an industry-average price. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Coupe.

The standard warranty period for the Camaro is 60* months, or 50,000* miles, whichever comes first. The warranty also includes a warranty on the drivetrain for 36* months or 50,000* miles respectively. This is standard in the coupe market. Extended warranties are also available through the dealer.

Fuel Efficiency

The 1992 Camaro gets 27 miles/gallon on the highway and only 17 - 18 in the city. This is average for a coupe car.

Conclusion

The 1992 model year was unsuccessful for the Chevrolet Camaro. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Z28 version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
