In 1982 the third generation Camaro came to be. This Camaro would soon become synonymous with the mullet, but that doesn’t mean the car itself was an embarrassment. After nearly a decade of lackluster Z28s the Camaro was once again a proper performance machine; at least by 1983 standards. 190 hp from a 5.0 liter V8 may not sound like much, but in 1983 that was decent power and a big increase from the sad 165 hp offered in 1982. This year, the power finally matched the handling for the third generation Camaro.
