1991 Chevrolet Camaro Reviews, Pricing & Specs
Write a review
The 1991 Camaro marked the return of the Z28, missing from the Camaro lineup since 1988. The fast ride promised by the Camaro may be a relief for its passengers, none of whom seemed to find the 1991 model to be of acceptable comfort. Performance and acceleration are off-the-charts for this model, but passenger comfort, cargo room, and gas efficiency lag far behind. Of course, Camaro lovers love them for the thrill of the ride, not the thrill of conversation over the typically loud engine. Listening to the V8 roar can quickly cover up any whines of discomfort from one's person. There is another very rare option for the 1991. Well it really started in 1988, and did not start to catch on very well until 1989 and up. In 1991 in fact only 478 units (confirmed by GM)produced. It was/is known as the 1LE pachage. Here is what the 1991 version consisted of.Chevrolet built 478 Z28 Coupes with "1LE" equipment for 1991. As in 1989 and 1990, Ordering the RPO G80 Limited-slip rear axle & G92 RPO G92 triggered the build. RPO G92 required one of two engine combinations, the 305ci LB9 V8 with 5-speed manual, or the 350ci B2L V8 with 4-speed automatic transmission. When ordered with air conditionÃ?ÂÂing, RPO G92 ($466) included engine oil cooler, 4-wheel disc brakes (except for a brief period when 4-wheel discs were deleted with a $287 credit), and dual-converter exhaust. When ordered without air condiÃ?ÂÂtioning, RPO G92 ($675) added heavy-duty front brakes, aluminum driveshaft and spare wheel, special shocks and fuel pickup, and gas tank baffle. Fog lamps were deleted for weight savings and improved cooling. I will be posting a new forum for this package in a few days. Enjoy :)

There is nothing like dropping the top and taking my Camaro out for a ride on a nice Summer day.I had never even rode in a convertable before buying this car and now would consider buying another classic convertable.There are alot of 3rd gen Camaros out there ,but not alot of 3rd gen convertables in nice shape-at least around here in northern Ny state.I wish I could afford to do a complete paint job or total restore but since I cant,Im fixing it up one small job at a time.I have won a few trophies with it at local shows ,so I must be doing something right.Originality is I think ,what it has going for it most.The interior is sun faded from 22 years of sun but otherwise in top shape.Mechanically it is in great shape,and as of this writng has 76,000 miles on it.If the day comes that the engine is unrepairable- maybe then Ill drop a bigger engine in.I would like to keep it as original as possible until then.Jul 28, 2013

Old car needed a lot of work when I got it. It came with the v6 so it was lacking in power compared to its sisters. It was built well. I got it after a long rest in a field in the northern us and it still held together with the rust. I love the appearance the look of aggression is why I was originally drawn to the car in the first place. It cost me the amount i paid for the car in two years that I owned it. It had the classic t-tops and that made it a fun drive and cruise.Apr 12, 2012

I would like to swap out motors with a built 350. The car would be awsome with at least 300 hp or more.The 5.0L TBI only puts out 170 hp thats not enough for a heavy car like that.Braking is bad.You have to be careful and not tail gate because this car will not stop on a dime it likes to skid.The only thing it has going for it is that it has a limited slip rear end and I do like to do burn outs in it.Dec 25, 2011

I like my car, it already has rear end and suspension upgrades from a WS-6 Trans Am. Needs a heart transplant though, the 305 just doesnt cut it. But it is still fun to drive, it corners very well.Dec 13, 2010

I just bought this car and
I have a 350 which I bored and stroked to a 383 pushing around 330 horse and 411 lb/ft of torque. Married to the 4L60E it has more than enough power to pull down the hemi chargers and chipped diesels. They look in their mirrors when they hear the roar of my glass pack 3" duals. I am looking into 4 wheel disc brakes. This car is beautiful and all there so to speak. FREAKY FUN!!!Mar 11, 2010

This car has been through many states, as well as many roads, original body, all highway miles, still rolling strong today. It's almost 20 years old and still great. I would recommend this car, past or future body style, to anyoneFeb 09, 2010

Exellent style with the raised spoiler and the ground effects with air flow. Handled like it was on railroad tracks. I only lost 2 races in 15 years of owning this rare 5.7L fully loaded car. And was and still is a head turning machine.Dec 11, 2009

I'm sure it would have been a great car if it was new. The
reason I give this a not so good review is because it was given
to me in bad condition. It had major problems. It overheated,
had an oil leak somewhere, the air didn't work, the battery
constantly went dead, and the hood didn't stay up like it was
supposed to. I would recommend a 1991 camaro, but just
make sure it is in good condition.Oct 07, 2009

If you are looking for something that comes fast stock this is not it but with a good engine swap then you have the real deal. it rides okay but it looks great. fun to drive its upgraded with a 383 stroker motor.Oct 05, 2009

A+ love taking this car out and stomping on all the import non sense. Fun in straights and even more fun in corners. Gas mileage sucks, but you don't buy this kind of car to be environmentally or economically friendly.Aug 31, 2009

The car is definitly enough to take out most stock imports, so those honda's are yours if you know how to drive. You may need to do some repairs if the car is older or hasnt been taken care of 100% but the car is easy to work on and it pays you back everytime you floor the gas.Aug 22, 2009

I bought my '91 Chevrolet Camaro RS primarily as a commuter car that would get me to and from work quickly. (I had a bad habit of waking up late.)
The performance of the V6 engine was adequate even though the Camaro was heavier than it should have been for a V6. The handling seemed loose; an upgrade to the tires, wheels, struts and springs were a necessity for high speed turns.
OVERALL in stock form it was a good car, however upgrades were positively necessary for any kind of performance needed.

I loved this car, a show stopper, to be sure. Fast, sleek and gorgeous. A muscle car to beat all others. Fun to drive and terrible in the snow, but I loved it. Becoming disabled had me sell it! Broke my heart!Aug 07, 2009

Dream car... I know its not much and people think i'm crazy but if u gave me a third gen with a fifth gen engine and suspension, i'd take it any day over a fifth gen... I'm in the process of dropping a Merc 350 engine into it. spec on the motor: stock 290 horse, add ZZ4 cam, ZZ4 ALL-ALUMINUM HEADS, edelbrock Performer intake, and a holley 650 and i should be good for atleast 370 horsies! Can't wait till she's ready!Aug 04, 2009

Everyone likes the car, it's a true eye catcher and is a great classic, I have a V8 and still get 25mpg on the highway, And me and my dad had 3 corvettes at one time a 75',91',and a 96' collectors edition and this Camaro has just as much acceleration,braking,and handling as they ever had , but it just doesnt have the top speed.The only problem i have with it is the rattle with the convertible top and the small puff of smoke when i start it in the morning, but what camaro doesnt do that. My interior is still in great condition and the exterior has only one 4 inch spot with paint missing.The cost to own it has been very cheap so far only needed a fuel filter and an air filter , short of scheduled oil changes. And i couldn't pick a better car to handle the tight turns and fast acceleration for the price better than a 3rd Gen Camaro.And I would recommend this car to anyone,u just cant have mine.Jan 16, 2009

i love my car
performance- this car handles better than any car i have ever driven it sits so low and with p225 60 r15s all the way around it can take anything you throw at it but right now with the original engine the car lacks top end.
Build Quality- the previous owner neglected the car so many repairs were needed but after repairing i have never had a problem out of the car
Appearance- recently painted chrysler black so the car looks great.
cost of ownership- Bad gas milage!!!
Fun factor- i love driving the car nothing beats rwd!!Oct 01, 2008

Gerat car with a 5.0 TBI V8. 170 HP was alittle anemic for a V8. But you could leave a nice black mark if you so desired. I wish I would have had the 5 speed manual and a 5.0 TPI or 5.7 TPI engine. But I was happy to own a Camaro.Sep 09, 2008

Performance wise I love the car, but it could be better. It needs more acceleration. Braking can and will be improved. It needs a serious paint job. Has some electrical problems, but nothing that can't be fixed. It's actually a V6, so gas is not a problem. The best part about it...I can supercharge or turbo it! TBI 3.1L V6, 220hp and 235 ft. lb.Jul 27, 2008

I HATE THIS CAR! its pretty outside and a thrill to drive.... WHEN IT RUNS! its too low to the ground and hard to get out of. definitely not a daily driver. I have never had more problems with a car. I would never buy another camaro too bad, because the body is nice but a horrible car overallJul 17, 2008

-The accelerations is great,so is the braking for being such a heavy car. The handling could be better.
-It cost alot of gas drive this car it is a v8 and gets 11 miles to the gallon but oh well i dont car
-This is a fun car to drive!! drive a 4 cylinder car then try this car and you will know the diffrence.Jul 09, 2008

acceleration excellent, under powered braking, could be better, good handling characteristics considering size and weight, no major repairs needed, appearence is truely original definately suggests American Muscle, good gas mileage for V8 especially comparing to todays engines, not much difference, the car is fun to drive, still an eye catcher and there were not that many built so soon to be a true collectors/classic car. I would recommend this car to a friend. But it must be a convertible and a true Z28.Jul 02, 2008

I Loved My 1991 Z28, with the L98 TPI, and the 4L60 Four-Speed Auto. Although it was a Fast Stock Motor @ 240Hp, GM would NOT match up that motor with a Manual tranny. I actually heard that the 305/W the Five Speed, was faster in the 1/4 mile than the 5.7l Auto. Jun 30, 2007
