After the big redesign for 1982, the 1983 Chevrolet Camaro remained relatively unchanged from the previous year. However, '83 was the first year for the L69 5.0-liter HO V8 rated at 190 horsepower, and a new 5-speed manual transmission gave the car a new level of speed and performance, pushing it further away from the Mustang in the pony car corrall. The base engine was a 2.5-liter inline four rated at 90 horsepower, but the Z28 came with the new 5.0-liter HO.

(32 reviews)I have a 1983 Z28 Stage Three Camaro. It is an amazing car. Fiberglass hood and trim, posi rear end, stage three hi po suspension, T Tops, functional air intake, aluminum wheels, power window, lock and lift gate. I replaced the stock Cross Fire 305 with a hi po 355 that I built myself.
I love the ride quality, handling, and comfort. It's very snappy off the green light, with a lot of power. It has a very clean, sleek, and mean stance, and is well complimented with the T-tops. Very much a gear-head vehicle, definitely not a family car, and expectedly not as fuel efficient, but shouldn't be expected from a muscle car. Not a winter vehicle, but with the addition of weight in the spare well (sand bags) it is doable. more cargo space than expected, if you lay the rear seat-backs down. A lot of light inside, and good visibility once you get used to the odd blind spots. Over all, I really like this car, and the pros outweigh the cons depending on your lifestyle.
1983 Camaro Z28 with a 383 stroker motor. This car has ran 11.37 @ 118mph but usually runs high 11.40's with mufflers. This is the first car my dad and I built and will probably be the most reliable race car I will ever own.
I loved the look of this car. The 83 Z28 was sleek and angular. Later models lost the hard lines that made this model look good. This car also handled very well. It took corners well, without a lot of slop, and at high speeds, the car was planted and stable. Where this car missed was performance and quality. The 305 V8 was weak, and gas mileage was horrible. The T-tops leaked constantly, and started to rattle after a year of ownership. The back seats were an unpleasant place to spend time, because it was cramped, and the huge b pillar blocked any outside view.
i own an 83 camaro and i love it. its very fast, sleek and cool. it was by far one of the best looking cars of the 80's, but they were some of the cheapest ones to. i dont care what anyone says i love my camaro. you cant go wrong with owning one.
