It should really have a redirect. Can someone set it up? 12.111.23.142 14:39, 8 June 2007 (UTC)Italian Retard Out Cruising
What year is the Camaro pictured here? It would be nice to figure out its proper year so that we can place it into the correct section. Anyone know? My knowledge on the third-gen is not so good. Roguegeek ( talk) 03:07, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
It can be anywhere in the 88-90 range. 85-90 body style, IROC vinyls at the back of doors instead of front, two grooves per spoke on rims instead of one... It might also be an earlier one with newer rims on it... you never know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonboy2312 ( talk • contribs) 03:47, 6 May 2009 (UTC)
Incorrect information posted for 1989... "They had the 2.8 V6 fuel injected motor as standard with the 5.0 305 LT1 as an option." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.201.106.211 ( talk) 00:02, 5 June 2008 (UTC)
The article needs some minor corrections:
1982
1985
1986
1987
1989
I don't see the need of using semicolons instead of comas.

Please Wikipedia!!!! Clear these photos off of this site...These pictures are nothing more than Vanity shots for undeserving vehicles and persons... They are incomplete and innacurate photos and these personal contributions should never be allowed. I have a beautiful 1982 Camaro Z28 with T-Top and 4 Speed that should also not be allowed in here. It is not a perfect replica of a production vehicle and should never be seen as a representative sample of any model year of Camaro. Not to mention you allowed a person to add pictures of a hubcapless and Z28 insignia removed vehicle???? Please set a policy of only allowing pictures and descriptions that come directly from sales brochures and pamplets!!!!! It would be impossible to improve on all comments already made by manufacturers comments and descriptions in all sales materials!!!! The stuff that has been allowed here makes Wikipedia a JUNK source of info. Not to be believed in at all!!!!!— Preceding unsigned comment added by Ray Wagner ( talk • contribs) 15:40, April 14, 2012 (UTC)
Yes, Chevrolet actually did offer a twin-turbo option that produces 560 hp (and 23 psi of boost). I saw the third model at school today. All original. And I believe the statements don't need to be referenced because WP:ORIGINALRESEARCH says it's okay. "Paris is the capitol of France" for example is not referenced. 166.137.242.87 ( talk) 23:43, 2 September 2014 (UTC)
Unless you Bought the Car, or have any documentation from Chevrolet regarding this option, it is False and only a Rumor at best. There are no articles are documentations anywhere of such a car, and your opinion of it being factory at a High School that a young girl owns, is not considered Legitimate. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.80.30.44 ( talk) 15:49, 16 December 2014 (UTC)

I am trying to understand what are the models offered for each ear for the 1982-1992 models. I have done some research and I found these links: http://www.camarotech.com/ThirdGenDescription.html and https://sethirdgen.org/production.htm. I have the feeling that the second is better than the first so bear with me. I collected some notes and this is what have for the models:
1. Are the above the correct labels for the models offered in 1982-1992?
2a. Specifically for 1988, should "IROC-Z" it be "IROC-Z coupé"?
2b. Similarly, for 1989-1990, should "RS" be "RS coupé"?
3a. In addition, https://sethirdgen.org/production.htm uses "IROC" for 1985-1987. Should that be "IROC-Z" instead?
3b. The 1988 section of this article says ""base" IROCs now got the previous year Z28's aluminum 15" 5-spoke wheels" and "Dash badges on the IROC still read "Z28" on top and "IROC-Z" below. The vin code 8 is the engine code for a real TPI 5.7L IROC". Should they be "IROC-Zs" and "IROC-Z" respectively?
3c. In the 1989 section I see an image of a white Camaro and the caption says "1989 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 IROC 1LE". Should that be just "IROC-Z" since Z28 was dropped in 1988 and replaced by IROC-Z?
3d. The article for 1989 says "This resulted with two models remaining, the base coupe and the IROC-Z." Would that "base coupe" be officially called "RS"?
4. In the 1989 section the article says "The 1989 model year signified the return of the RS designation (last used in 1987 on a limited edition California only model)." When the "RS" designation a standard initially?
I was also looking at production numbers for 1982 and 1983 at this link: http://www.camarotech.com/ThirdGenDescription.html. I compared them to this link: https://sethirdgen.org/production.htm. It looks like the first link has a bunch of errors (numbers do not add up) and I confirmed that when I did some calculations with the second link (which appears more accurate).
5. For 1982 I get either 189747 or 189777 and for 1983 I get 154831 or 154381. Can anybody confirm production numbers for 1982 and 1983?
Finally, I was looking at the 1991 color numbers at this page: http://www.nastyz28.com/camaro/camaro91.html#paint.
6. If I sum all 8 colors I get 100699. Summing the numbers at the links above gives 100838. Can anybody explain the discrepancy and confirm the exact production number for 1991?
7. In addition to the above, does anybody have numbers on models built with spoiler and without spoiler?
