Chevrolet Camaro Specs, Engines & Dimensions (1982–1985) — Third Generation
The third-generation Chevrolet Camaro is a rear-drive American coupe built around a long hood, low roofline and straightforward mechanical layout. Here is what its engines, gearboxes and driving character mean for you in daily use.
Each Chevrolet Camaro engine here is gasoline-fuelled and sends power rearward, so the powertrain feels relaxed rather than frantic. The 2.5 MT and 2.8 MT pair a manual gearbox with modest displacement, while the 2.5 AT swaps in an automatic transmission for easier city driving. Larger engines appeared elsewhere in the range.
