Chevrolet Camaro Retrospective
1993 – Fourth Generation
 

Compared to its cross-town rival, the Ford Mustang, the redesigned 1993 Chevrolet Camaro was a technical tour-de-force. It was sleek, rakish, and modern whereas the Ford Mustang resembled a box on wheels. The Camaro was strong, too, thanks to 275-horsepower, 5.7-liter V8 under the hood of the Z28 model. By contrast, a Mustang LX 5.0 or GT was making just 205 horsepower and the limited-production SVT Cobra mustered just 230 ponies. In 1993, the Camaro was invited to pace the Indianapolis 500 for the fourth time, and Chevrolet built 645 replicas like the car shown above.

Front and rear, the 1993 Chevy Camaro displayed strong stylistic ties to the long-lived 1982-92 model, but overall the car a little longer, a little taller, and a little wider. However, despite a complete redesign, the strongest engine lineup in decades, and handling unmatched by any Camaro sold in history, the 1993 version landed on the market with a dull thud. Base and Z28 coupes were the only Camaros sold in 1993, with the standard engine in Base models a 160-horsepower, 3.4-liter V6. Camaro Z28 got the monster 5.7-liter V8, matched to a standard six-speed manual transmission.
