The 1993 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 was the first year of the fourth-generation F-body platform, introducing a more modern and aggressive design.
It was a performance-oriented model powered by a 5.7-liter LT1 V8 engine, a slightly detuned version of the same engine found in the Corvette of that year. This engine produced 275 horsepower and 325 lb-ft of torque.
Key features of the 1993 Z28 included:
- Engine and Drivetrain: The 5.7-liter LT1 V8 was paired with either a standard 6-speed manual transmission or an optional 4-speed automatic transmission. It also came with a limited-slip rear axle to help put power to the pavement.
- Safety: A major upgrade for this generation was the inclusion of standard dual airbags for the driver and passenger, as well as a four-wheel anti-lock braking system (ABS).
- Handling: The Z28 featured a new Short/Long Arm (SLA) front suspension, power rack-and-pinion steering, and large-diameter stabilizer bars for improved handling and control.
- Body and Styling: The car featured a sleek, wedge-shaped design with a mix of steel and rustproof, dent-resistant composite body panels for the roof, doors, and fenders. It was available with an optional T-top roof with removable glass panels.
- Interior: The interior offered supportive cloth bucket seats and a driver-focused dashboard with a full set of analog gauges. Standard amenities included a console-mounted cup holder, a locking glove box, and a standard AM/FM stereo with a cassette play
