Those were some dark days for the Camaro..... that Iron Duke equipped Berlinetta did everything it could to ruin the Camaro name


But a modern, all aluminum, 16 valve, DOHC, direct inject, smooth high reving 4 cylinder is a far cry from that rickety, heavy, iron block, single cam, 1 bbl carburated monstrosity that burned oil at 50k and leaked everything else by 100k.
