1. - 1969 :why? - ZL1 and L72 COPO cars, the last and best year for the DZ302 powered Z28, the best looking indy pace car ever and every other reason.
2. - 1970:the first year for the 2nd gen, and the only year the Z28 came with the full strength (360hp) LT-1 350 and the short rear deck spoiler, and the 375HP 396 was still available.
3. - 1968: cause its slightly better lookin than the 67; cause mark donohue won 10 of 13 trans am races in a 68; cause grumpy jenkins won the 1st pro stock race.
4. - 1967: it was perfect the moment it came out - and then they added the Z28!
5. - 1993: a 275HP LT-1, six speed tranny and 4 wheel disc brakes for 17.000 USD? - better than we deserved.
6. - 1998: Everything the 93 car was and more, the all-alu LS1 is the best engine ever plopped into a production F-car
7. - 1985: just when the 3rd gen car seemed destined for mediocrity, along came the IROC and tuned port injection.
8. - 1971: its a slightly less powerful, slightly less attractive 70.

14.-1997: cause of the 30th anniversary edition that brought back the 69 pace cars orange-on-white graphics
15.-1994:the 1st year for the 4th gen convertible
16.-1983: remember the L69 305? back then its 190 HP and 5 speed tranny were a great leap forward
17.-1977: after 2 lousy years they brought back the Z28, a gutless Z28, but one that handled well
18.-1978: at least the put the bumpers under some plastic
19.-1995: with the 3800 V6, the least powerful V6 powered camaro was now more powerful than the most powerful 84 camaro
20.-2002: its the last one and its very quick!
21.-1984: no particular reason
22.-1990: the last IROC was the best IROC
23.-1991: IROC morphs into Z28, always liked that name..
24.-1982: the 3rd gen car looked good, but the engines were trash.
25.-1989: this year had to go somewhere
26.-1999: there wasnt really anything new about the 99, that was OK

30.-1986: whats the ugly lump on the rear window?
31.-1974: those bumpers, those damn bumpers
32.-1981: it was about time the 2nd gen died.
33.-1979: this was the best selling camaro ever (282,571 sold), for no apparent reason
34.-1975: a new rear window but no Z28?
35.-1976: it was more of the 1975..
36.-1980: this was the year chevy introduced the unforgivable 267ci-V8. it made 120HP and was the worst small block ever built. GM didnt deserve to survive that engine.
