1989
The Sport Coupe was dropped 1989 being replaced by the returning RS model. The RS was now available with LO3 305ci, 170hp V-8 engine. The headlight pockets on the RS were no longer painted black. All Camaros now came with rear shoulder belts. The Corvette PASS-KEY ignition lock system was adopted for all Camaros. The base 15 inch IROC wheel was restyled to have the appearance of the optional 16 inch wheel. P245/50ZR-16 tires replaced the P245/50VR-16 tires on the IROC-Z when equipped with the 16 inch wheels. TPI motors got better performing `Multec' fuel injectors. The exterior of the TPI plennum changed slightly: the ridges on top of the plennum did not extend as far forward. Calibration refinements eliminated the cold start injector. Four wheel disc brakes were now optional (J65). The IROC-Z's rear brakes were increased in size from 10.5 inch rotors to 11.65 inch rotors with PBR Australian built aluminum calipers and more reliable parking brake actuators. Front discs still had 10.5 inch rotors with Delco-Moraine single piston calipers. The performance rear axle option (G92) included a performance exhaust system (dual catalytic converters), which upped hp by 10 on cars so equipped. 1989 Engines
