The 1984 models of Chevy Camaro were some of the most popular of the Camaro line of sports car ever produced. The Z28 model sold over 100,000 models, the base coupe sold over 120,000 and the Berlinetta, which was the higher end of that year's line of Camaro models, sold over 30,000 models. While many of the basic specifications on these 1984 Camaros were identical, certain aspects of their engine, power and speed set the different models apart.
Dimension Specifications
All models of the Chevy Camaro which were produced in the model year of 1984 had identical dimension specifications, according to Iroc-Zone's website. The sports car is 187.8 inches in length, 49.8 inches in height, 72 inches wide and have a wheelbase of 101 inches total.
Engine Specifications
Different engines were the primary aspect of the sports car that set the different models of Camaro apart from each other in 1984. The base model sports coupe of Chevy Camaro had a base engine which consisted of a four-valve, 92-horsepower engine at 4,000 rpm with 134 foot-pounds of torque at 2,800 rpm and 9.0:1 of displacement.
This was by far the smallest engine in the Camaro line in 1984, though these base model sports coupes could upgrade to the same engine the Berlinetta model of Camaro used. This was a V6 engine with 107 horsepower at 4,800 rpm, 145 foot-pounds of torque at 2,100 rpm and 8.5:1 displacement.
The Z28 model of Camaro produced in 1984 was the most powerful model, with a base V8 engine that received 150 horsepower at 4,000 rpm, 240 foot-pounds of torque at 2,400 rpm and 8.5:1 of displacement. The Z28 also had a more powerful engine for the true muscle car enthusiast of the era, which consisted of a V8 with 190 horsepower at 4,800 rpm, 240 foot-pounds of torque at 3,200 rpm and 9.5:1 of displacement.
Transmission Specifications
The 1984 Chevrolet Camaros came with a couple different transmission options. For the more avid driver and car enthusiast, a five-speed manual transmission came standard. However, as more technology had begun to make its way into mass-produced automobiles by 1984, a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive was also available at extra cost for the base coupe.
