1985
For 1985, Chevrolet designed new noses for all Camaros and new, deeper valances and front spoilers for the Z28 and newly introduced IROC-Z. The NACA style hood ducts were replaced by simulated hood louvers on the Z28. The Z28 got new `grid' pattern taillights and it's number of lower body stripes grew from 2 to 4 with a body colored gap between the top 3 stripes. The double pointer speedometer was dropped and replaced with single pointer unit. The Berlinetta type aluminum wheels became an extra cost option and Berlinetta now came standard with its own unique wheel covers that were styled to look like the optional aluminum wheel. The Berlinetta aluminum wheel also became an option on the Sport Coupe but with argent accenting rather than gold and a `Camaro' center cap rather than `Berlinetta'. Lower body pinstiping on the Berlinetta was given an additional stripe. The new IROC-Z option was available on the Z28 and came with new 16x8 aluminum wheels, P245/50VR-16 Goodyear Gatorback tires, fog lamps, CAMARO on front license plate panel, .5 inch lowered ride height, body colored valances, Delco-Bilstein rear gas shocks, special front struts, increased spring rates, special jounce bumpers, 5 degrees of caster (up from 3.5 on Z28) in front wheel alignment, `wonderbar' front frame rail stiffener, special valving in steering for increased steering effort, larger rear stabilizer bar with stiffer bushings, IROC-Z exterior decals and interior dash badge, and a thinner two-color lower body stripe. `Tuned Port Injection' (TPI) motors were introduced. Corvette got 350ci, 230hp version (L98) and Camaro got the 305ci, 215hp V8 version (LB9) which was available in the Z-28 or IROC-Z. The LB9 was available with automatic transmission only. The L69 engine, 305ci, 190hp, was only available in IROC and only with 5 speed manual. L69 production was restricted half-way (April 26, 1985) through the model year. The MFI V-6 LB8 motor, 173ci, 135hp, was introduced to replace carbureted LC1 V-6. It had similar port injection to the LB9 TPI V-8. All manual transmissions were now 5 speeds. The 7.5 inch rear end was dropped and replaced with a new 7.625 (7 5/8) inch rear end for all Camaros. The G92 (performance axle ratio) was only available on IROC-Z for 1985. 1985 Engines
