This is my 1990 Camaro RS. I am the third owner. My dad bought this car but he couldn't stand to crawl out of the car each day. I took care of it for the 3 year when it was siting and i didn't have a license. My dad was going to sell it but I was able to get him to give it to me. Now this was no brand new car and it needed a lot of work and I'm proud to say I have done most of it. I drive it as a daily driver and couldn't think of it any other way as I love this car and can't stand to not drive it. Right now it still has it's basic 3.1 L (191 cid) LHO 60° Gen II V6 stock engine and automatic 4 speed transmission. The engine has 175K on it and still running beautifully but I do plan a LS swap some time soon.
Brief History
The 1990 model year was only a half year of production due to Chevrolet not renewing the IROC contract. IROC's and RS's are easily identifiable: 1990 was the first year for the updated interior which included drivers side airbag, redesigned instrument panel ("half-moon" gauge), yellow lettering on dash, rounded controls, etc. RS's are the only RS's with the new interior and the older valances (before the new `scooped' side valances). The LB8 2.8 liter V-6 was replaced by an increased displacement 3.1 liter LH0 V-6. The 350 (only) received lighter weight pistons thus a slight horsepower increase of 240 (1989) to 245 (1990). The TPI Camaros switched from MAF air metering systems to MAP systems, this eliminated the mass airflow (MAF) sensor.
Total Production- 34,896
RS - 28,750
