1996 – More Power

During the mid-1990s, Camaro maintained impressive sales. In 1995, traction control was added to the options list. In 1996, the RS trim level returned, basically a dressed up Camaro V6 that appeared as though it wore a bed skirt thanks to a deep front air dam and low rocker panel extensions. Also, the Camaro swapped out its 3.4-liter V6 for a stronger 200-horsepower 3.8-liter V6. An F-1 package could be ordered on the 1996 Camaro Z28: covered headlights, white monochromatic paint scheme w/orange stripes, and a 300-horsepower V8. Also built in limited numbers was the 305-horsepower 1996 Camaro SS, with a functional hood scoop and leftover five-spoke alloy wheels from the legendary Corvette ZR-1.
