Re: 1983 Camaro classification guide help....
The tech guys would probably use the berlinetta shipping wt if you have a Z28. Not everything is in the book guys, everyone knows they made Z28's in 83 , there just isn't a separate shipping wt/ factor for it.

1983 Camaro Shipping weights per GM
Base Camaro Coupe V-8---3035 Berlinetta V-8--3056 Z-28 LG4 engine 3061 either manual or auto trans avail add 101 pounds for auto trans Z-28 LU5 engine 3107 AUTO TRANS ONLY Z-28 L69 engine 3107 MANUAL TRANS ONLY In addition Berlinettas had different grilles/front fascia/interiors /dash gauges etc. than Z-28----All Z--28 had front spoiler/rear trunk spoiler/ground effects rocker mouldings Not sure what/how NHRA is looking at these cars but a base/berlinetta looks entirely different than a Z-28 parked side by side |

Re: 1983 Camaro classification guide help....
Thanks for the reply Dave, don’t understand how you could use Berlinnetta specs for a car running ground effects ?? Don’t understand how you can race a car that is not in the books, that I know was made....??

While we are talking about these cars when new does anybody remember if the 82'-83' Camaros came with a 3-speed auto trans?

Re: 1983 Camaro classification guide help....
I talked to NHRA in Ca. over the winter asking why 83 z28 was not on the list, after a long run around said never got specs so if its not in there you will have to take ground effects off and run as base or find a different year that has Z28 in list.

Re: 1983 Camaro classification guide help....
I wondered because I bought my 83' that we built the stocker out of used and it had a TH-200, Didn't look like anything had been changed on the car, 305 LG4.
