Sport Coupe or Rally Sport
The Sport Coupe model was considered the Base-Model for the Third Generation Camaro’s. Initially offering a whopping 151 cubic inch four-cylinder motor, the 173 cubic inch V6 and 305 cubic inch V8 were optional performance upgrades.
Berlinetta
The Berlinetta model was aimed at the luxury buyers, this model came standard with a softer suspension, cloth interior, additional sound-proofing and insulation, and Berlinetta-specific badges or branding. This model was not as successful as the Rally Sport or Z28 models due to the lack of performance from the standard V6 motor.
Z28
The Z28 model offered a much needed boost in the performance department; this model came standard with a 5.0L V8 rated at 145hp, and while that doesn’t sound like a lot of power now, in the 1980’s the Camaro offered the best value per horsepower for consumers. This motor was also given an optional upgrade for Throttle Body Injection which helped produce more horsepower. The iconic IROC-Z trim package was offered as an upgrade to the already significant Z28 model; with it, it brought upgraded suspension, steering braces, a decal package, and the Tuned Port Injection system.
