Fifth Generation: 2010 – ?
Fifth-generation marks the return of the Camaro after an 8 year absence. This new body style is built on the Zeta RWD platform, produced by General Motors in Australia. Whereas previous Camaros were considered the F-Body type, this is a completely new chassis which is said to be lighter, has all wheel independent suspension, and better weight distribution.

Fourth Generation: 1993 – 2002
Fourth-generation Camaro continued the hatch-back design introduced in the third generation. The Corvette LT-1 V8 was a powerful engine option introduced in this generation, which also offers a 6 speed transmission. After 35 years of Camaro “F-Body” models, 2002 marked the the end of continuous production and the beginning of an 8 year hiatus.

Third Generation: 1982 – 1992
Third-generation Camaro introduced a hatch-back body style, and a car the was significantly lighter than the second generation. The IROC Z was a popular option in 1985, which included T-tops, ground effects, and a powerful 5.0 liter engine. A 5.7 liter engine became available in 1987. This generation marks the introduction of fuel injection to the Camaro line.

Second Generation: 1970 – 1981
Second-generation Camaro debuted late for the 1970 production year, and this model is often referred to unofficially as the “70 1/2″ Camaro.  Partly due to 1973 federal bumper safety standards, this generation underwent several front and rear bumper designs. The 1973 model was also the last Camaro to offer the 396 big block, likely due to stricter emissions standards.
