Camaro F1 questions?????

Kennedy200 · #1 03-06-2005, 04:12 AM

I have a buddy that just picked up a 1993 Camaro F1. Is there any decent online reference for the specs of the car.

He wants to do some performance work to the car. I am trying to do some research on the baseline specs of the car.

FYI he is planning on dropping in a new rear end, doing some trans work and then finally adding some boost with a supercharger.

Link works fine for me...A whole list of parts and this:

Technical Notes: It's not called F-1 by chance, it may be as close as many of us will ever come to a Formula 1 car for the street. But how would you improve on a car with the Camaro's potent 5.7 liter V8 delivering neck snapping performance and its already good handling and road manners? Put it in the capable hands of the GM Performance Parts engineers, of course. With the Camaro F-1 Extreme Sport Suspension package, awesome 16"x8" front and 17"x9" rear wheels, GM Performance Parts Hurst shifter, special F-1 floormats and drop dead gorgeous ground effects, spoiler, ornamentation and stripes, the Camaro F-1 becomes a force to be reckoned with. And if you decide to slow down long enough for anyone to get a good look at it, we believe you'll get some well deserved compliments. So, go out and get your Camaro washed, cruise down to your nearest GM Performance Parts Authorized Center (there is a list of them in the back of this catalog), and get ready to transform your already great car into a GM Performance Parts inspired statement of power, style and personality.

It's kinda hard to find actual hp specs on the F1 Camaro's because they were not a production car. They were either dealer made or made by the public. You could by all the parts from GM to make your Z into a F1. Emblems, wheels, floor mats, exhaust, hurst shifters, special intake and RS body kits. I've got an dealer info sheet on the F1's I can scan and post if you want.

Were these only 4th gen cars or did they have 3rd gen versions as well?

96CamaroSS · #8 03-06-2005, 10:58 PM

4th Gen and 93 to 97 only.

God damn, you learn somethin gnew every day i guess that's true

LT1MAN · #10 03-07-2005, 09:45 AM

so its a z28 with a body kit, intake and a shifter? never heard of it. i wonder what the "cold air intake" is referring to, if that is just the plastic ductwork that supposedly takes air to the filter in the stock airbox or does it really have a decent air intake on it.

but anyway

i think your tring to sell the car, not talk about it. But whats the big deal, its just a Z with ground effects and an intake BIG DEAL.

oh and floor mats you cant forget the floor mats

Kennedy200 · #12 03-07-2005, 12:25 PM

OK, it seems as though the "F1 package" isn't a real big deal like a Yenko or Saleen package. (I know, I said a Ford word.)

I wanted to make sure that he wasn't going to rip apart a some semi-exotic production vehicle.

Thanks for the replies.

oh Kennedy the car is sweet but i was just addressing the fact that the one guy was iver emphazing a car for no reason. Its sweet someone other than SLP tuned Camaro's. I didn't want to knock the car, hope it didn't come out that way.

philly rs · #14 03-07-2005, 06:36 PM
