1993 Chevrolet Camaro
The Camaro was all new for 1993, the start of its fourth, and last, generation. All though most of the floor stamping and rear suspension was carried over,the 1993 Camaro featured new plastic front fenders, a new short-arm/long-arm front suspension, rack-and-pinion steering, and an all new sleek styling. The model lineup was simplified to just the base Sport Coupe powered by a 3.4 liter V6 rated at 160bhp and the Z28 with the Corvette's 5.7 liter LT1 small-block V8 under-rated at 275 bhp. Once again, the convertible was gone. The LT1 was easily the most powerful small-block installed in a Camaro since its namesake,he 1970 LT-1 (note the dash), and, considering the change in gross vs. Net ratings, may have been more powerful. The Z28 could be ordered with either a four speed automatic or six-speed manual transmission, and came standard with 16 inch wheels and tires, four wheel anti-lock brakes, and a black colored roof, standard. Z28 prices started at less than $ 17000, making it a true performance bargain. Once again, Camaro paced the Indianapolis 500 and black
replica cars were offered. Unlike 1982, no modifications were necessary on the current pace car.

But the big news was the return of the SS. Chevrolet teamed up with SLP Engineering to bring back the SS name by taking the Z28 and adding engine tweaks and 17 "five-spoke wheels fitted with P245/40ZR17 BFGoodrich Comp T / A tires. The SS, with an impressive 305bhp rating, was the first to break the 300 Camaro net HP barrier.

But Ford did celebrate the 35th (and last) anniversary of the Camaro with a special graphics package for the Z28 SS coupe and convertible.
