The document summarizes the six generations of the Chevrolet Camaro from its introduction in 1967 to the present sixth generation. It describes the key features and changes between each generation, including the transition to fuel injection and lighter weight in the third generation. The fourth generation retained the same basic styling while introducing new engines and transmissions. The fifth generation marked a complete redesign and new platform for 2009. The current sixth generation debuted in 2015 and shares little with other GM vehicles for improved performance. The Camaro also had success as a Trans-Am racing vehicle beginning in the late 1960s.

2. First generation (1967–1969)
The first-generation Chevrolet Camaro appeared in Chevrolet
dealerships in September 1966, for the 1967 model year on a brand-new
rear-wheel drive GM F-body platform and was available as a 2-door, 2+2
seat, hardtop or convertible with a choice of six-cylinder and V8 power
plants. The first-generation Camaro was built through the 1969 model
year.

3. Second generation (1970–1981)
Introduced in February 1970, the second-generation Camaro was produced
through the 1981 model year, with cosmetic changes made in 1974 and 1978
model years. The car was heavily restyled and became somewhat larger and
wider with the new styling. Still based on the F-body platform, the new
Camaro was similar to its predecessor, with a unibody structure, front sub
frame, an A-arm front suspension, and leaf springs to control the solid rear
axle. Road & Track picked the 1971 SS350 as one of the 10 best cars in the
world in August 1971. RS SS package was dropped in 1972 and
reintroduced in 1996.

4. Third generation (1982–1992)
The third-generation Camaro was produced from 1981 (for the 1982
model year) to 1992. These were the first Camaros to offer modern fuel
injection, Turbo-Hydramitic 700R4 four-speed automatic transmissions,
five speed manual transmissions, 15- or 16-inch wheels, a standard
OHV 4-cylinder engine,[13] and hatchback bodies. The cars were nearly
500 pounds (227 kg) lighter than the second generation model.

5. Fourth generation (1993–2002)
The fourth-generation Camaro debuted in 1993 on an updated F-body platform. It
retained the same characteristics since its introduction in 1967: a coupé body style
with 2+2 seating (with an optional T-top roof) or convertible (reintroduced in 1994),
rear-wheel drive, pushrod 6-cylinder and V8 engines. The standard power plant
from 1993-1995 was a 3.4 L V6, then a 3.8 L V6 was introduced in 1995. A 350
MPFI (LT1) Small Block V-8 engine, which was introduced in the Corvette in 1992,
was standard in the Z28. Optional equipment included all-speed traction control
and a new six-speed T-56 manual transmission; the 4L60E 4-speed automatic
transmission was standard on the Z28, yet optional on the V6 models which came
with 5-speed manual as standard. Anti-lock brakes were standard equipment on all
Camaros.

6. Fifth generation (2010–2015)
The Camaro received a complete redesign, and new platform for the
2009 model year/fifth generation. Based on the 2006 Camaro Concept
and 2007 Camaro Convertible Concept, production of the fifth-
generation Camaro was approved on August 10, 2006. The Oshawa Car
Assembly plant in the city of Oshawa, Ontario, Canada, began
producing the new Camaro which went on sale in spring of 2009 as a
2010 model year vehicle.

7. Sixth generation (2016–present)
On May 16, 2015, Chevrolet introduced the sixth generation Camaro at Belle
Isle park in Detroit, Michigan. The launch, complete with previous generation
Camaros on display, coincided with the vehicle's upcoming 50th birthday.
The sixth generation Camaro sales began in late 2015 and are offered in LT
and SS models built on the GM Alpha platform at Lansing Grand River
Assembly in Michigan. The A platform is currently used by the Cadillac ATS.
The 2016 Camaro will weigh 200 lb. (91 kg) less than its predecessor. Over
70% of the sixth generation's architectural components are unique to the car
and are not shared with any other current GM product.

8. Racing
The Camaro was one of the vehicles in the SCCA-sanctioned Trans-Am
Series. Chevrolet worked with Roger Penske to operate their unofficially
factory-backed Trans Am team, winning the title in 1968 and 1969 with
Mark Donohue. Jim Hall's Chaparral team replaced Penske for the 1970
season. Warren Agor of Rochester, NY, was the series' leading Camaro
privateer, his orange #13's o, 1993, 1994, and 1998.
