A streamlined Camaro redesign was the perfect complement to the fast-paced American 1980’s, where the burly muscle car looks of yesteryear now gave way to the modern styling of their Corvette brothers and agile profiles of fancy imported sports cars. Performance mandates forced the Camaro on a diet, drastically improving handling while still maintaining the thrill of RWD, and they were the first F-Bodies to offer fuel-injection, overdrive transmissions, and 5-speed manuals. The slick design was an immediate hit, with submodels like the RS and Z/28 offering powerful yet nimble drivetrains that appealed to large sectors of the public, while the introduction of the upmarket IROC-Z quickly engrained this generation into the American culture.
