The fourth generation launched in January 1993 (a late, short model year) with production moved to a new dedicated plant at Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec. The Z28 launched with the Corvette-derived LT1 5.7 L V8 — 275 hp, which Chevrolet noted made it the most powerful Camaro since the 1971 big blocks.
The low 39,103-unit total is a short-year artifact, not weak demand: 1994–95 both cleared 120,000.
The powertrain and identification notes below preserve configuration and model-year boundaries rather than treating every 1993 Camaro alike. Ratings use the measurement convention of their period, and visual cues are only a starting point: the VIN, factory labels, drivetrain identifiers, and surviving documentation should agree.
