1997 Chevrolet Camaro

The fourth generation of the Chevrolet Camaro made its debut in 1993 and would remain in production until 2002. Body styles included a coupe with 2+2 seating or convertible which was re-introduced for the 1994 model year. Pushrod 6-cylinder and V8 engines delivered power to the rear wheels. A standard 3.8-liter V6 was introduced in 1995, replacing the prior 3.4-liter V6 unit. A multi-port fuel injected 350 CID small block V8 engine, which had been introduced in the Corvette in 1992, was standard in the Z28. A 5-speed manual transmission was standard on the V6 models, and the 4L60E 4-speed automatic was optional (standard on the Z28). A new six-speed T-56 manual was also optional, as was the all-speed traction control system. A limited number of SS models of 1996 and 1997 came with the LT4 small block from the Corvette, with 330 horsepower. Most received the LT1 with 275 horsepower. Chevrolet turned over production of the SS to Street Legal Performance. Founded in 1986 by drag racer Ed Hamburger, SLP was the first company in the performance aftermarket to develop and manufacture a 50-state emission-legal performance package specifically for V-8 Camaros and Firebirds. The 1997 Camaro SS was given a new cold-air intake system fed by the scooped hood, a freer-flowing high-performance exhaust system, special white painted Corvette ZR1 5-spoke wheels shod with BF Goodrich Radial T/A tires and the 30th Anniversary graphics. The Z28's LT1 350 CID V8 engine offered 285 horsepower.

For 1997, the fifth year of production for the 4th generation Camaro, the Chevy Camaro was given a revised interior. Trim levels included the base, RS, and Z28. The base price for the 2-door coupe began at $16,215. A total of 48,292 coupes and 6,680 convertibles were built.

1997 marked the 30th Anniversary for the Chevy Camaro and to celebrate, Chevrolet produced the 30th Anniversary Edition Camaros, all finished in the distinctive combination of Arctic White with Hugger Orange striping and graphics, a motif that was inspired by the Indy 500 Pace Car convertibles of 1969. The interior had white leather bucket seats with 30th Anniversary embroidery on the front headrests and the rear seat backs, as well as a 30th Anniversary plaque attached to the central stack. A 7,000 RPM tach, 150 MPH speedometer and temperature, oil pressure, battery, and fuel gauges were standard equipment. They also received Bilstein Level II Performance Suspension setup, power-assisted 4-wheel disc brakes, and power steering.

Standard equipment on the Camaro included Automatic Daytime Running Lamps, dual airbags, electronically controlled AM/FM stereo with cassette player, extended range speakers, a reinforced steel safety cage that included steel side-door beams of crush zones, and anti-lock disc brakes. The base and RS trim levels came standard with the 3.8-liter V6.

For three decades, Chevrolet Camaro has exemplified the spirit, power and raw muscle of American 'pony cars.' Camaro celebrates its 30th birthday in 1997, and Chevrolet is planning several ways to commemorate this milestone. For starters, Camaro receives the honor of serving as this year's official Brickyard 400® pace car. It will be the third straight year that a Chevrolet has paced the NASCARs at the renowned Indianapolis Motor Speedway. Then, Chevrolet will offer Camaro Z28 with an optional 30th Anniversary Appearance Package, similar in appearance to the pace car, but without the Brickyard graphics.
Included in the 30th Anniversary Appearance Package is a distinctive Arctic White exterior with white door handles, white front fascia intake and black emblems. Enhancing this unique look are center stripes and hood extractors in 'Hugger' Orange, reminiscent of the classic '69 Z28. White five-spoke aluminum wheels (chrome aluminum wheels optional) complete this eye-catching exterior.

The interior of this special Camaro Z28 has a number of unique features as well. These include 30th Anniversary embroidery on the front floor mats, Arctic White seats with black-and-white houndstooth inserts (Arctic White leather optional) and five-color 30th Anniversary embroidery on the headrests.

Of course, celebrating the 30th anniversary of Camaro is not the only story for the 1997 model year. Camaro now features an enhanced interior, with a new instrument panel and seat contours. The center console features four cup holders (two for front passengers, two for rear passengers), a handy storage compartment, a coin holder and an auxiliary power outlet that accommodates accessories like portable cellular phones and car vacuums. The interior is available in two new colors, Dark Gray and Medium Gray, and the Convertible model now features front safety belt guide loops for added passenger safety and comfort. A redesigned family of radios completes the new 'inside story.'

The Camaro exterior boasts some new features for 1997 as well, including two new colors, Bright Green Metallic and Bright Purple Metallic (interim availability). New standard exterior features include worldwide tri-color taillamps for a European look, sporty 5-spoke aluminum wheels and low-profile windshield wipers that contribute to improved aerodynamics.

New safety features for 1997 include standard automatic Daytime Running Lamps (DRL) with automatic exterior lamp control. DRL makes Camaro more visible to other drivers in daylight hours or in inclement weather. Camaro Convertible meets 1997 U.S. federal dynamic side-impact requirements with the addition of energy-absorbing foam pads and wheelhouse bracings. Other safety features include driver and front- passenger air bags, safety-cage construction, and GM's award-winning ABS VI anti-lock brake system, all standard to provide occupant protection and help avoid collisions.

Under the hood of Camaro is proven Chevrolet performance -- the 3800 V6 (Camaro and Camaro RS) and the 5.7 Liter V8 (Z28) engines, both with Sequential Fuel Injection. Transmissions for 1997 include a 5-speed manual with overdrive (not available on Z28), an optional 4-speed electronically controlled automatic with overdrive, and for those who want the most out of their Z28, the standard 4-speed automatic or the no-cost option 6-speed manual. In addition, a second gear start feature is included on all Camaros equipped with a V6 engine and an automatic transmission, for improved traction on slippery surfaces.

Camaro has an impressive list of maintenance-saving features, including platinum-tip spark plugs, designed to have their first scheduled maintenance at 100,000 miles*, and extended-life engine coolant, good for 5 years or 150,000 miles, whichever comes first*. There's also Dexron III automatic transmission fluid which, under normal operating conditions, never needs replacement. For added convenience, Camaro features standard battery-rundown protection, which automatically turns off the headlamps or interior lights if they are inadvertently left on.

Camaro Convertible is available in standard, RS and Z28 models. The convertible's rigid body structure provides a solid foundation that minimizes flexing, squeaks and rattles while providing precise handling and steering. The power-operated top folds down flush, and a three-piece hard tonneau cover gives a finished appearance during top-down driving. The convertible top also features a full headliner, a glass rear window and a rear-window defogger as standard equipment.

All Camaro models share a rigid body structure that includes a full-unitized steel frame, steel reinforced composite body panels and front and rear bumpers, designed for rigidity and durability. Extensive anti-corrosion measures include the use of composites, two-side-galvanized steel and electrostatic primers.

Camaro is one of America's favorite muscle cars. Since debuting in 1967, it has come to embody the competitive spirit of Chevrolet with its unique synthesis of bold styling, compelling performance and incomparable value. This rich heritage, combined with three decades of racetrack success, has made Camaro a household name -- and one of the most recognizable cars on the road.

It's a familiar sight ... a massive pack of high-performance automobiles anxiously cruises the Indianapolis Motor Speedway, ready to make its move at the drop of the green flag. Out in front, a white 1997 30th Anniversary Chevrolet Camaro Z28* keeps the vehicles in check.

Over the radio comes word for the Camaro driver to let the racers loose, and suddenly the racetrack is a combination of controlled chaos and raw power.

It's likely that the beginning of the Third Annual Brickyard 400 will look something like this for the third year, a Chevrolet leads the pack as the official pace vehicle.

'This is truly a proud moment for Chevrolet,' said John Middlebrook, general manager of Chevrolet and vice president of General Motors. 'There's no better way for the sporty Camaro to celebrate its 30-year heritage than on a racetrack in front of race fans.'

An impressive fifty Camaro Z28 pace cars supplied by Chevrolet will converge on Indianapolis on August 3. Two of the vehicles will be responsible for official pace car duties, while the rest will be used for support services.

To fully understand the significance of the Camaro pace car, one needs to look deeper under the teal, blue and gold Brickyard 400 graphics, the Z28 is a special edition 30th Anniversary Camaro. In fact, it's technically identical to the new 1997 Camaro. The laps it makes around the Indy Speedway will mark the first time a 1997 Camaro will be driven by the public.

To commemorate the 30th birthday of Camaro, Chevrolet will produce the vehicle in a special trim package for retail sale in the 1997 model year. The 30th Anniversary Camaro Z28** features an Arctic White Metallic exterior, including badging, grille, door handles and aluminum wheels. Two eye-catching centered 'hugger' orange stripes running the length of Camaro complete the exterior finish. Inside, white appointments and special houndstooth seats with the 30th Anniversary embroidery on the headrests and floor mats round out the 30th Anniversary package.

The 1997 30th Anniversary Chevrolet Camaro Brickyard 400 Pace Car features:

• 5.7 Liter LT1 V8 engine with SFI rated at 285 horsepower at 5000 rpm, with 325 lb.-ft. of torque at 2400 rpm

• Four-speed electronically controlled 4L60-E transmission with computer-controlled fourth gear overdrive

• White cast alloy aluminum wheels, Goodyear Eagle GS-C P245/50ZR-16 steel-belted radial tires

• Four-wheel disc brakes with GMOs award-winning ABS VI anti- lock brake system

• Power rack-and-pinion steering

• Light bar and strobed driving, brake and cornering lamps.

This Camaro Z28 pace car has some big shoes to fill. Chevrolets have served as the official Brickyard 400 pace vehicles in each year of the raceOs history. A Chevrolet Monte Carlo paced the first-ever Brickyard 400 race in 1994, followed by a full-size Chevy C/K Pickup in 1995.

In 1995, it appeared that, no matter where you looked, the red bowtie had left a major impression. Chevrolet won the SCCA Manufacturers Championship with Camaro, and Monte Carlo captured the Busch Grand National Drivers Championship and Winston Cup Drivers Championship. Finally, Dale EarnhardtOs win in Atlanta last season marked 300 NASCAR wins for Chevrolet in the modern era.

The fastest, most powerful anniversry model was the Camaro SS. All performance options carried over. The Hugger Orange stripes 'hugged' the hood scoop as it traveled over the car. The 17' SS specific wheels were lacquered in white just like the Z28. White leather or 'Houndstooth' cloth were the interior choices. 13 sec. 1/4 miles were extremely easy with the standard LT-1. Only 100 models were produced with the more powerful LT-4.

All 1997 Camaros had the 30th logo stitched into its seats, independent of which model it was. Only the white/orange anniversary package had the red,white,blue highlights.

Only a few hundred of these Brickyard 400 Pace Cars were built.

CHICAGO — Chevy Camaro represents 30 years of uncompromised American sports coupe performance. In fact, while other entries departed from their 'pony car' lineage over the years, Camaro has been a consistent force on the automotive scene, remaining true to its original image and mission. As a result, it's still unequaled today among its top competitors in 0–60 and quarter-mile acceleration, lateral g performance and slalom timing.

For 1998, the best gets better, as Chevrolet unveils the refined Camaro model lineup at the 1997 Chicago Auto Show. The '98 Camaro, which arrives in dealer showrooms this fall, is the next logical evolution in a proud performance legacy, sporting a more contemporary look, more V8 horsepower and torque, better fuel economy and a quieter ride. And, as a bonus, this Camaro meets 1999 federal emission standards ... one year early.

Here are some details on the latest generation of America's definitive performance car:

The 1998 Camaro comes in several models and body styles: The standard model, RS appearance package and Z28 are all available in either coupe or convertible versions. And now, the SS performance and appearance package is factory installed.
On the outside, Camaro's front end has an all-new hood, front fenders, front fascia, headlamps and windshield wiper system. The 1998 Camaro headlamps are composite and utilize reflector optics for better nighttime visibility. All models now feature body-colored door handles for a coordinated look. The Chevrolet bowtie logo is embossed on the underside of the hood blanket.

Exterior changes give the 1998 Camaro an aerodynamic front end. Said Werner Paulus, GM total vehicle integration engineer: 'The new exterior has evolved into a contemporary, pleasing, aerodynamic and nimble look. The styling changes give the car a softer, sleeker appearance.'

At the core of the Camaro is power ... the heart-thumping performance that sports car buyers demand. And the 1998 model delivers. A version of the 1997 Corvette's LS1 V8 powers the new Z28 and SS. In the Camaro Z28 and SS, the engine develops 305 hp at 5200 rpm, and 335 lb.-ft. of torque at 4000 rpm. This is an improvement over the 1997 Z28 of 25 hp and 10 lb.-ft. of torque. The standard model Camaro comes equipped with the 3800 V6, at 200 hp it's still one of the most powerful V6s in its class. The V8 is mated to a Borg Warner-designed T56 manual transmission manufactured by Tremec, and the V6 is coupled with a Borg Warner-designed T5 transmission, also made by Tremec.

Camaro's fuel economy is improved over 1997, as well. The 1998 model with V8 manual power achieves an estimated 18 mpg in the city and 27 mpg on the highway, versus 16/27 for the 1997. Equipped with an automatic transmission, ratings are estimated at 19 mpg city, 23 highway. (Economy ratings are adjusted, based on GM tests. EPA figures are not yet available.)

For '98, Camaro builds upon its road-hugging reputation. The suspension system has been tuned for better ride and handling, with revalved shocks in the front and rear, and increased spring rates.

The '98 Camaro SS features 17-inch Goodyear P275/40 ZR17 tires that provide improved performance feel and a smooth ride, while delivering better traction in snow. The spare tire is now 16 inches in diameter, up from 15 inches.
Four-wheel disc brakes are now standard across the lineup to provide more efficient brake cooling, resulting in more consistent stopping ability.
Antilock brakes are standard on all Camaro models (ABS is an option on the Ford Mustang). The Camaro ABS system is all-new, and is sourced from Bosch. It has fewer parts, weighs less and provides a shorter stopping distance than the old system.

The Camaro's new state-of-the-art optional traction control system (available on Z28 and SS) is reliable in all weather conditions and at all speeds. The traction control system functions through the use of brake pressure modulation, engine spark and throttle control.

The exhaust system includes an upgraded muffler — engineers added an aluminum coating to the muffler's cavity to improve corrosion protection and increase life. And both the V6 and V8 have larger mufflers for a more consistent, pleasing exhaust sound ... that still reminds drivers it's an American sports coupe.

The LS1 Engine

Now it's Camaro's turn. After debuting in the 1997 Corvette, the all-new LS1 V8 engine has been modified and made available for the 1998 Z28 and SS. Most of the changes to the engine were performed for packaging and operating efficiency. Yet, like the LS1 in the Corvette, the Camaro version features aluminum heads, rods, pistons, deep-skirt block, crank, oil pan and more. Bottom line ... the LS1 is built to perform ... and leave the competition behind.

Said John Juriga, LS1 project manager for GM Powertrain: 'The LS1 engine in the 1998 Camaro weighs about 10% less, fully dressed, than the LT1 engine it replaces. The result is an engine that's lighter, more powerful and quieter.'

Specific modifications for Camaro include:

• Engine accessory mountings have been relocated to provide better belt life, improved engine balance and reduced noise and vibration.

• Accessory drive (specific to Camaro).

• Air conditioning compressor (more rigidly mounted on lower right of engine).

• Dipstick and tube (right side of the block).

• Electronic oil level sensor (right side of the oil pan).

• Air-cleaner (forward of radiator).

• Air-cleaner base (upper radiator support).

• Alternator (positioned lower).

Power steering pump (upper left side of engine).
• In addition, the air-cleaner element is more conveniently serviced via a slide-out cartridge design.

• The RS Appearance Package

For '98, the Camaro also offers an RS Appearance Package, available as an option on the standard coupe and convertible. It's designed for those who want a more distinct appearance for standard Camaro models. It includes:

• A front fascia extension for a sleeker look.

• Rocker panel moldings to carry that treatment along the bodysides.

• A rear fascia extension to round out the rear end.

• A spoiler unique to the RS package.

• Sporty aluminum wheels.

The SS Performance and Appearance Package
It's the ultimate Camaro driving experience ... and now, it can be served up direct from the manufacturer. After several years as an aftermarket option, the SS performance and appearance package is a new factory-installed option for 1998. The package can be ordered through Chevrolet dealerships. Here's a look at what the package contains:

• Planned horsepower increase — to be determined.

• Forced-air induction system.

• Hood design unique to the SS.

CHICAGO — The Camaro, celebrating its 30th birthday in 1997, has evolved considerably. Over the years, the Camaro has been transformed into many shapes, from the pony car look of the late '60s to the polished, muscular styling of the '90s. Camaro is built for those looking for a high-performance sports coupe without a high price tag — it's the car for those craving power and safety wrapped in a sleek body. To commemorate three decades of success, Chevrolet has introduced an anniversary package loaded with nostalgia.

The 30th Anniversary Camaro Z28 package, available on convertibles and coupes, joins the stable of 1997 models. Reminiscent of the 1969 Z28 pace car, the commemorative edition vehicle is a bright Arctic White color with Hugger Orange stripes down the center. (The 1969 Camaro, with its Ermine White exterior and the same stripes, paced the Indianapolis 500.) The door handles on the Anniversary Package Camaro are also white, as are the white five-spoke aluminum wheels and the front fascia intake.

Most of the glass on the 30th Anniversary Camaro is Solar-Ray® glass. This reduces interior heat buildup and helps protect interior fabrics and materials from ultraviolet rays. The seats are Arctic White with cloth black-and-white houndstooth inserts.

All 1997 Camaros, including the Anniversary Package, have low-profile windshield wiper arms for a more aerodynamic design. A raised cowl panel minimizes turbulent airflow and reduces wind lift. In addition, the cowl lessens 'blow back' — moisture that moves up the windshield — when the vehicle is in motion.
Goodyear Eagle GS-C P245/50ZR-16 radials help keep 'The Hugger' gripping the asphalt.

A redesigned instrument panel highlights the inside of the special-edition vehicle. All controls are easy to find and access. The instrument panel has bold, analog instrumentation. The climate-control switches are backlit so they're easier to see.

Floor mats and headrests feature 30th Anniversary five-color embroidery.
To increase comfort and support, all Camaros have newly designed front bucket seats.

Automatic Daytime Running Lamps are standard on all 1997 Camaros. They join other standard safety features such as four-wheel, anti-lock disc brakes, driver and front passenger air bags and a reinforced steel safety cage that includes steel side-door beams and front and rear crush zones.

All Camaros come standard with an electronically controlled AM/FM stereo with cassette player and extended range speakers. A compact disc player is also available. Other option packages for coupes include a Delco Electronics 200-watt audio system, as well as a 12-disc CD changer.

The Chevrolet Camaro was introduced in 1967 as a compact car specifically built to provide competition for the highly popular Ford Mustang. This pony car was built atop of the same F-Body platform as the Pontiac Firebird, which had a similar production lifespan of 1967 through 2002. During the preproduction stages of the Chevrolet Camaro, General Motors codenamed the vehicle Panther. The name....
