Chevrolet CamaroWikimedia Commons has media related to: Chevrolet CamaroThe Chevrolet Camaro was introduced in North America by the Chevrolet Motor Division of General Motors at the start of the 1967 model year as competition for the Ford Mustang. Although it was technically a compact car (by the standards of the time), the Camaro, like the entire class of Mustang competitors, was soon known as a pony car. It may also be classified as an intermediate touring car, a sports car, or a muscle car. The car shared the same General Motors "F-Body" platform and major components with the Pontiac Firebird, also introduced in 1967. Production of both cars ceased in 2002. Though the car's name was contrived with no meaning, GM researchers found the word in a French dictionary as a slang term for "friend" or "companion." Ford Motor Company researchers discovered other definitions, including "a shrimp-like creature" and an arcane term for "loose bowels." In some automotive periodicals before official release, it was code-named "Panther." Historical examples exist of Chevrolet product managers being asked by the automotive press "what is a Camaro?", with the tongue-in-cheek answer being "a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs," a sideways reference to the competing Ford Mustang. While the Camaro was never the flagship for Chevrolet, it was always one of the most popular models. If its frequent inclusion in automotive enthusiast magazines is any indication, the Chevy Camaro is one of the most popular cars for modification in automotive history. Four distinct generations of the car were produced. Generation 11967Sharing mechanicals with the upcoming 1968 Chevrolet Nova, the Camaro featured unibody structure, combined with a sub-frame supporting the front end. Chevrolet offered the car in only two body styles, a coupe and convertible. Almost 80 factory and 40 dealer options including three main packages were available.
The Camaro's base powertrain was a 3.8 L (230 in³) I6 engine rated at 140 hp (104 kW) and backed by a Saginaw three-speed manual transmission. A Muncie four-speed manual was also available. The two-speed "Powerglide" automatic transmission was a popular option in 1967-68 until the three-speed "Turbo Hydra-Matic 350" replaced it starting in 1969. The TH350 was also an option on SS396 cars from late 1967 onwards. The 290 hp (216 kW), 5.7 L (350 in³) V8 first saw duty in the 1967 Camaro and virtually every engine in the Chevrolet lineup was offered as an option. Production numbers: 19681968 saw the deletion of the side vent windows and the introduction of Astro Ventilation, a fresh-air-inlet system. Also added were side marker lights, a more pointed front grill, and divided rear tailights. SS models received optional chrome hood inserts. On some models, multi-leaf rear springs replaced single-leaf units, and shock absorbers were staggered. 6.5 L (396 in³) 350 hp (261 kW) engine was added as an option for the SS, and Z28 became known by buyers and 7199 units were sold. Production numbers: 1969 Chevrolet Camaro Indianapolis 500 Pace Car on display at the 2005 United States Grand Prix1969The 1969 Camaro carried over the previous year's drivetrain and major mechanical components, but all new sheet metal, except the hood and trunk lid, gave a car a substantially sportier look. The grille was redesigned with a heavy "Y" cant and deeply inset headlights. New door skins, rear quarter panels, and rear valence panel also gave the car a much lower, wider, more aggressive look. This styling would serve for the 1969 model year only. Collectors often debate the merits of smooth, rounded lines of 1967 and 1968 model versus the heavily creased and sportier looks of the 1969. The real treat for the 1969 model year, however, was the vast array of new performance options. A GM corporate edict forbid Chevrolet from installing engines larger than 400 in³ (6.6 L) in the Camaro. Chevy also knew that there was a market for ultra-powerful Camaros armed with the Corvette's L-72 427 in³ (7.0 L) engine, as evidenced by the success of dealerships like Yenko Chevrolet, Nickey Chevrolet, and Dana Chevrolet, who installed their own. So, Chevrolet quietly offered two Central Office Production Orders (COPO) options, numbers 9560 and 9561, for the 1969 model year. The COPO 9561 option brought the fire-breathing L-72 big-block engine, making an underrated 425 hp (317 kW) gross. Don Yenko ordered several hundred of these cars, along with a variety of other high performance options, to create the now-legendary Yenko Camaro. Overall, Chevrolet produced just 1,015 L-72 equipped Camaros. Even rarer was COPO 9560. This option installed an all-aluminum 427 in³ (7.0 L) big-block called the ZL-1. Just 69 ZL-1 Camaros were produced, probably because the engine alone cost over 4,000 USD—nearly twice that of a base V-8 coupe. Though rated at 430 hp (321 kW) gross, the ZL-1 made closer to 550 hp (410 kW), making it both the fastest and rarest of all Camaros. The 1969 model year was exceptionally long, extending into December of 1969, due to production problems with the completely redesigned second generation model. A small number of 1969 model year cars were titled as 1970 cars; this is also the source of the "1970 1/2" moniker sometimes applied to early 1970 model year cars. Equipped with the lighter weight "split bumper" in the front (i.e., no bumper across the central grill opening) and with all the refinements and enhancements up to that point, these "1970 1/2" model year vehicles are generally regarded as the most desirable of the early Camaros, since the performance of those immediately following was to be hampered by the addition of heavy Federally mandated bumpers as well as the power-reducing automobile emissions control systems of the period.

Generation 2The larger second-generation Camaro featured an all-new sleek body and improved suspension. The 1970–1/2 Camaro debuted as a 2+2 coupe; no convertible was offered and would not appear again until well into the third generation. Most of the engine and drivetrain components were carried over from 1969 with the exception of the 230 in³ (3.8 L) six cylinder -- the base engine was now the 250 in³ (4.1 L) six rated at 155 hp (116 kW). The top performing motor was a L-78 396 in³ (6.5 L) V8 rated at 375 hp (280 kW). Starting in 1970, the 396 in³ (6.5 L) nominal big block V8's actually displaced 402 in³ (6.6 L), yet Chevrolet chose to retain the 396 badging. Two 454 in³ (7.4 L) engines—the LS-6 and LS-7—were listed on early specification sheets but never made it into production. Besides the base model, buyers could select the "Rally Sport" option with a distinctive front nose and bumper, a "Super Sport" package, and the "Z-28 Special Performance Package" featuring a new high-performance 360 hp (268 kW) 350 in³ (5.7 L) V8. 1972The 1972 Camaro suffered two major setbacks. A UAW strike at a GM assembly plant in Ohio disrupted production for 174 days, and 1100 Camaros had to be scrapped because they did not meet 1973 Federal bumper safety standards. Some at GM seriously considered dropping the Camaro and Firebird altogether, while others were convinced the models remained marketable. The latter group eventually convinced those in favor of dropping the F Cars to reconsider, and Chevrolet would go on to produce 68,656 Camaros in 1972. 970 SS396 were produced in 1972, and this was the last year for the SS model. 1973A new LT option was offered in 1973, and new impact-absorbing bumpers were standard. The Super Sport package was dropped, and the big block 396 in³ (6.5 L) V8 could no longer be ordered. Power was down due to new emissions standards, with the top rated 350 in³ (5.7 L) V8 producing 245 hp (183 kW). 1974The 1974 Camaro grew seven inches longer thanks to new aluminum bumpers and forward sloping grille. Round taillights were replaced with a more rectangular wraparound design. 1975The Z-28 option was dropped for the 1975 and 1976 models, and power continued to decline drastically. Two 350 in³ (5.7 L) V8s produced 145 hp (108 kW) and 155 hp (116 kW) (power ratings were now net as opposed to the prior gross ratings. Net power ratings were taken from the engine crankshaft as before, but now all accessories had to be attached and operating, and all emissions equipment and a full production exhaust system had to be in place. These power-robbing additions -- along with stringent new emissions laws -- were instrumental in creating the vastly smaller power figures found in subsequent cars.) 1977The Z28 was re-introduced to the buying public in the spring of 1977 as a 1977-1/2. This car was an instant hit, with most cars sold equipped with air-conditioning and an automatic transmission for a comfort-oriented public. The cars were also available with a Borg-Warner Super T-10 4-speed manual and minimal option packaging for those buyers interested in a performance-oriented vehicle. The half-year model was one of the few American performance vehicles available at the time. The car was capable of turning in quarter-mile times comparable to many of the nineteen sixties' performance cars, and the chassis was developed to reward the driver with a first-class grand touring experience, capable of outstanding handling, especially in the hands of a competent high-performance driver. More than one Z28 was sold as a stripped radio-delete bare-bones performance car, and in this trim the Z28 could out-perform Pontiac Trans-Ams and aging C3 Corvettes on highways and canyon roads. 1978The 1978 model featured new soft front and rear bumpers and much larger taillamps. This was also the first year the T-top — a t-bar roof with dark tinted glass lift-out panels — became available as an option. 1979The Type LT model was replaced by the more luxurious Berlinetta with dual mirrors, special wheels, paint, emblems, and interior. A new instrument panel was introduced, and the Z-28 dubbed "the hugger" boasted eye-catching dual-color stripes which wrapped around the lower sides and front bumper. 1980For 1980 the aged 250 in³ (4.1 L) inline six was replaced with a 229 in³ (3.8 L) V6, 231 in³ (3.8 L) in California. The Z-28 hood included a rear-pointing raised scoop with a solenoid operated flap which opened at full throttle, allowing the engine to breathe cooler air. 1981The 1981 model was virutally unchanged from 1980 and would be the last model year for the second generation Camaro. Total production had dropped down to 126,139 from a high of 282,571 in 1979. Engines
Generation 31982The 1982 model introduced the first Camaros with factory fuel injection, four-speed automatic transmissions (three-speed on the earlier models), five-speed manual transmissions (four-speed manual transmissions in 1982, and some 1983 to 1984 models), 15 or 16 inch (381 or 406 mm) rims, hatchback body style, and even a four-cylinder engine for a brief period (due to concerns over fuel economy in the wake of the 1979 energy crisis). The Camaro Z28 was Motor Trend magazine's Car of the Year for 1982. The Camaro Z28 paced the Indy 500 in 1982 and over 6000 replicas were sold through Chevy dealers. The pace car edition featured special two-tone silver/blue paint and special stiping, orange pin-striping on 15" Z28 wheels, and a silver/blue interior with 6-way Lear-Seigler manual adjustable seating. Engine choices in the pace cars were the same as the regular Z28 (Cross-Fire fuel injection or 4BBL carb). 1985In 1985 Chevrolet introduced a new Camaro model—the famous IROC-Z, named after the popular competition International Race of Champions. IROC-Z Camaro featured upgraded suspension, special decal package and Tuned Port Injection system taken from the Corvette. Third generation Camaros also had a suspension system that was more capable in corners than the previous generation. The Camaro IROC-Z was on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 1985. The 305 was the only engine to receive the Tuned Port Injection considering the L98 350 was not available until 1987. Engines
Generation 419931993 began the fourth and last generation of Camaros, lasting through the 2002 model year. Production of the fourth and final generation was moved from GM's Van Nuys, California assembly plant to one in Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec in 1993. Though the car would no longer be produced in the US, the new design which incorporated lightweight plastic body panels over a steel space frame, and a better suspension, further improved upon the Camaro line. The 1993 Camaro also featured the LT1 V8 engine that had been introduced in the Corvette one year earlier, as well as an optional six-speed manual transmission when ordered with the V8. In celebration of this, the 1993 Camaro Z28 was selected as the official pace car for the 1993 Indianapolis 500; a pace car edition was produced in limited quantities, with a unique black and white color scheme. V8 models remained largely unchanged through 1995. 1993 V6 models were powered by the 160hp 3.4L V6. A 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission was available. 1994Same as the 1993 Camaro but with minor changes (the 4L60 automatic was replaced with an electronic version—the 4L60E). 1995In 1995, V6 Camaros sold to meet California emissions standards were produced with the 3800 Series II engine, while V6 Camaros sold elsewhere retained the old 3.4L engine. For the V8 Camaros, the often-problematic OptiSpark distributor was updated to include a vent to remove moisture from the unit, greatly extending its longevity. The use of the OBD-1 computer system was still used; however, the connection to the PCM was via the newer style OBD-2 plug. 1996 Camaro RS coupe with T-tops parked in Venice, California19961996 saw a minor mechanical revision of the Camaro, as well as some power gains from the new OBD II-compliant engine controls and improved exhaust. Two option packages also returned: the "RS" package, which was an appearance option for V6 cars, and the "SS" package, a performance and appearance package for V8 cars. 1997For the 1997 model year, the Camaro was offered with a "30th Anniversary Package", which included unique orange stripes on white base paint. Also, 100 30th Anniversary Camaro SS cars were sent to SLP to have the 330hp LT4 engine installed. While this made it the fastest Camaro available at the time, it was also by far the most expensive with a price of over $38,000. The exterior of the car remained largly unchanged other than the addition of amber to the rear tail lights, however the interior received a major facelift. Modified Chevrolet Camaro SS engine bay with a 5.7L LS1 V81998In 1998, the Camaro received its most major update since 1993. The most obvious is the revised front bodywork, with the headlights now being rounded and flush with the bodywork, intead of square and inset. The grille and bumper were revised to match. The interior also received some updates, but the change that was most important to enthusiasts was under the hood. Replacing the LT1 was GM's all-new LS1, which had been introduced with the fifth-generation Corvette in 1997. It featured the same OHV design, but was cast in aluminum, reducing weight. While the engine had been "detuned" slightly with only single exhaust (which would split into two when it exited the underside of the car) the small number of changes between it and the Corvette version -- as well as the real-world performance -- make the 305hp rating that GM assigned it in the Z28 a rather conservative estimate. Dyno reports and perfromance figures support the notion that all LS1 cars, regardless of Chevrolet's figures put out 345 horsepower. The suspension was updated and softened to appeal to a wider market and the brakes were increased in size. The SS and RS option packages continued, with a revised body kit for the RS -- the most notable change being removing the center section of the front lip, a piece that is cracked on a very large number of 1996-1997 RS cars. While the new design did spark sales, the total production for 1998 was just 48,490 -- a far cry from the 110,000 units sold in 1994 or the 200,000+ units per year sold in the 1970s. 20012001 was the lowest production year ever for the Camaro, partly due to slow sales and partly due to ceasing production earlier than usual to begin early work on the 35th Anniversary 2002 cars. Just 29,009 Camaros were built for this year. The 2001 Z28 and SS models received the intake manifold from the LS6 (the engine used in the fifth-generation Corvette Z06.) Accordingly, the horsepower rating was increased to 310 for the Z28 and 325 for the SS, although both models remained underrated. Navy Blue 2002 Chevrolet Camaro Z28.2002The Camaro remained almost completely unchanged from 1999 to 2002; sales declined as the enthusiast market continued to switch to smaller four- and six-cylinder cars. GM announced that this would be the final year of production for the Camaro, as the sales were not high enough to justify redesigning the platform again and the car could not be priced high enough to make low volumes profitable (unlike the Corvette.) A 35th Anniversary Edition was offered on all trim levels (base, Z28, and SS.) At least one 35th Anniversary SS Camaro was Navy Blue, with black leather interior and a "35th anniversary" marker in the dashboard. Other 35th anniversary SS Camaro's had silver racing stripes down the hood and trunk lid against Bright Rally Red paint, and the slogan "Leave a Lasting ImpreSSion" embroidered in the seats. The 35th anniversary SS Camaro was only available as a convertible or with T-Tops. 3,000 Camaros with the anniversary package were produced for the United States and 152 for Canada.[citation needed] The final Camaro was built on August 27, 2002; total production for 2002 was 42,098. The Sainte-Thérèse plant, the only GM plant in Canada outside of Ontario, then closed down. Engines
Generation 5Chevrolet's Camaro Concept, debuting at the 2006 NAIASThe return of the Camaro name has been anticipated by enthusiasts since fourth-generation production ended in 2002. The first official word regarding a fifth-generation Camaro from General Motors came at the 2006 North American International Auto Show, where a concept Camaro was released. AutoWeek editors unanimously awarded the Camaro concept "Best In Show." A Pontiac Firebird version is unlikely, as the GM Zeta platform will also underpin the next-generation Pontiac GTO. Photographs, as well as a short video of the car, are available in this online Road and Track article. The concept car features a 110" (279.4 cm) wheelbase, which is nine inches (23 cm) longer than the previous generation, but an overall length of just 186" (474.4 cm), seven inches (18 cm) shorter. The concept is powered by the 400 hp LS2 V8 and equipped with the T-56 six-speed manual transmission. Rumors

On a Hollywood television gossip show in 2004, an interviewer asked her, "How do you feel about your butt?" She answered "I can't believe you're asking me a question like that.". A 35th Anniversary Edition was offered on all trim levels (base, Z28, and SS.) At least one 35th Anniversary SS Camaro was Navy Blue, with black leather interior and a "35th anniversary" marker in the dashboard. In a skit at the MTV Video Music Awards, Triumph, the Comic Insult Dog begged Lopez to let him sniff her rear end, claiming that it was the equivalent of scaling Mount Everest for a dog. GM announced that this would be the final year of production for the Camaro, as the sales were not high enough to justify redesigning the platform again and the car could not be priced high enough to make low volumes profitable (unlike the Corvette.). magazine Celebrity Bodies poll in 2001; and also First Place in FHM magazine's 2000 and 2001 polls of Sexiest Women, with all of the polls citing her shapely rear as a reason. The Camaro remained almost completely unchanged from 1999 to 2002; sales declined as the enthusiast market continued to switch to smaller four- and six-cylinder cars. She won the title of Best Female Body in the U.K. The 2001 Z28 and SS models received the intake manifold from the LS6 (the engine used in the fifth-generation Corvette Z06.) Accordingly, the horsepower rating was increased to 310 for the Z28 and 325 for the SS, although both models remained underrated. The size of her backside was actually one of the components in helping her win the title role in the 1997 film Selena about real-life Texan singer Selena Quintanilla-Pérez, who also was noted for having a shapely posterior. Just 29,009 Camaros were built for this year. Lopez's buttocks, which are commonly described as attractively large and shapely, have frequently been the subject of comment and parody. 2001 was the lowest production year ever for the Camaro, partly due to slow sales and partly due to ceasing production earlier than usual to begin early work on the 35th Anniversary 2002 cars. Arianna starred in Lopez's music video for "Get Right". While the new design did spark sales, the total production for 1998 was just 48,490 -- a far cry from the 110,000 units sold in 1994 or the 200,000+ units per year sold in the 1970s. Lopez has become a stepmother to Anthony's two sons, Cristian and Ryan, with Torres and also to his daughter, Arianna, from a previous relationship. The SS and RS option packages continued, with a revised body kit for the RS -- the most notable change being removing the center section of the front lip, a piece that is cracked on a very large number of 1996-1997 RS cars. The couple has since confirmed their marriage, although Lopez refuses to elaborate publicly on her marriage to Anthony. The suspension was updated and softened to appeal to a wider market and the brakes were increased in size. Complicating the situation is Anthony's refusal to confirm his marriage to Lopez and the fact that his divorce took place in the Dominican Republic less than a week before his reported marriage to Lopez, making it potentially invalid in the United States. Dyno reports and perfromance figures support the notion that all LS1 cars, regardless of Chevrolet's figures put out 345 horsepower. Claiming to be a devoted Roman Catholic, Lopez has said in the past that she would never have a baby without being married. While the engine had been "detuned" slightly with only single exhaust (which would split into two when it exited the underside of the car) the small number of changes between it and the Corvette version -- as well as the real-world performance -- make the 305hp rating that GM assigned it in the Z28 a rather conservative estimate. Almost immediately after the wedding, rumors began swirling that the wedding was of the "shotgun" variety and that Lopez was pregnant. It featured the same OHV design, but was cast in aluminum, reducing weight. Years before they married (or even became a couple), she and Marc Anthony sang a song together called "No Me Ames" which appeared on her album "On the 6.". Replacing the LT1 was GM's all-new LS1, which had been introduced with the fifth-generation Corvette in 1997. All the guests were invited to a "afternoon party", and they were never told that they were going to a wedding. The interior also received some updates, but the change that was most important to enthusiasts was under the hood. Lopez married singer Marc Anthony in a secret wedding on June 5, 2004, less than a week after his divorce was finalized from former Miss Universe Dayanara Torres. The grille and bumper were revised to match. This never came to be as she and Affleck broke off their engagement and split for good in January 2004. The most obvious is the revised front bodywork, with the headlights now being rounded and flush with the bodywork, intead of square and inset. She had stated in interviews during her engagement to Affleck that, once married, she would go by the name Jennifer Affleck both privately and professionally. In 1998, the Camaro received its most major update since 1993. But the marriage planned for September 14, 2003 in Santa Barbara, California was called off a few days before the event. The exterior of the car remained largly unchanged other than the addition of amber to the rear tail lights, however the interior received a major facelift. Lopez became engaged to Ben Affleck and confirmed this in October 2002, after Affleck gave her a reported $3.5 million ring. While this made it the fastest Camaro available at the time, it was also by far the most expensive with a price of over $38,000. Their breakup was announced on February 14, 2001. Also, 100 30th Anniversary Camaro SS cars were sent to SLP to have the 330hp LT4 engine installed. He was eventually tried and acquitted. For the 1997 model year, the Camaro was offered with a "30th Anniversary Package", which included unique orange stripes on white base paint. The charges against Lopez were dropped, but the charges against Combs stayed. Two option packages also returned: the "RS" package, which was an appearance option for V6 cars, and the "SS" package, a performance and appearance package for V8 cars. Police found them with a stolen gun. 1996 saw a minor mechanical revision of the Camaro, as well as some power gains from the new OBD II-compliant engine controls and improved exhaust. Both were arrested in connection with a nightclub shooting in December 1999. The use of the OBD-1 computer system was still used; however, the connection to the PCM was via the newer style OBD-2 plug. From 1999 to 2001, she dated singer and producer Puff Daddy [real name: Sean Combs], breaking up after a shooting incident in a New York night club. For the V8 Camaros, the often-problematic OptiSpark distributor was updated to include a vent to remove moisture from the unit, greatly extending its longevity. The marriage also ended in divorce in January 2003. In 1995, V6 Camaros sold to meet California emissions standards were produced with the 3800 Series II engine, while V6 Camaros sold elsewhere retained the old 3.4L engine. The two were married on September 29, 2001 at a home in a Los Angeles suburb officiated by attorney Barry Hirsch. Same as the 1993 Camaro but with minor changes (the 4L60 automatic was replaced with an electronic version—the 4L60E). She met Judd while filming the music video for her single "Love Don't Cost A Thing". A 5-speed manual or 4-speed automatic transmission was available. Her second marriage was to Chris Judd, her former backup dancer. 1993 V6 models were powered by the 160hp 3.4L V6. They divorced in January 1998. V8 models remained largely unchanged through 1995. He was later named the manager of Lopez's restaurant, Madre's. In celebration of this, the 1993 Camaro Z28 was selected as the official pace car for the 1993 Indianapolis 500; a pace car edition was produced in limited quantities, with a unique black and white color scheme. Her first marriage, to waiter Ojani Noa, occured on February 22, 1997. The 1993 Camaro also featured the LT1 V8 engine that had been introduced in the Corvette one year earlier, as well as an optional six-speed manual transmission when ordered with the V8. Lopez is notorious for her multiple relationships. Though the car would no longer be produced in the US, the new design which incorporated lightweight plastic body panels over a steel space frame, and a better suspension, further improved upon the Camaro line. These three movies put together made more than $350 million at the box office worldwide. Production of the fourth and final generation was moved from GM's Van Nuys, California assembly plant to one in Sainte-Thérèse, Quebec in 1993. The company produced the commercially-successful movies The Cell, The Wedding Planner and Maid in Manhattan. 1993 began the fourth and last generation of Camaros, lasting through the 2002 model year. Currently, the company produces the television series South Beach for UPN. The 305 was the only engine to receive the Tuned Port Injection considering the L98 350 was not available until 1987. This company was founded together with her former manager, Benny Medina, whom she filed a lawsuit against because of alleged fraud in July 2003. The Camaro IROC-Z was on Car and Driver magazine's Ten Best list for 1985. Some of the projects for the company include Carmen, Dirty Girls Social Club (featuring Jeffrey Wilkinson as Dirty Girl # 4) and The Hector Lavoe Project. Third generation Camaros also had a suspension system that was more capable in corners than the previous generation. Lopez owns a production company, Nuyorican Productions, in which she is expected to produce some of her upcoming movies. IROC-Z Camaro featured upgraded suspension, special decal package and Tuned Port Injection system taken from the Corvette. J.Lo has now said that she is going to start producing clothes for pets dogs, most of the customers will most likely be members of hollywood and their furry little friends. In 1985 Chevrolet introduced a new Camaro model—the famous IROC-Z, named after the popular competition International Race of Champions. Other merchandise includes a clothing and cologne line for men due for release sometime in 2006. Engine choices in the pace cars were the same as the regular Z28 (Cross-Fire fuel injection or 4BBL carb). She has also done a photoshoot to represent the Louis Vuitton Winter 2003 campaign, in which the pictures would be seen all over the world through TV commercials, billboards, ads, newspapers, magazines and more. The pace car edition featured special two-tone silver/blue paint and special stiping, orange pin-striping on 15" Z28 wheels, and a silver/blue interior with 6-way Lear-Seigler manual adjustable seating. That has not discouraged her in the least bit from wearing and marketing clothing made from fur. The Camaro Z28 paced the Indy 500 in 1982 and over 6000 replicas were sold through Chevy dealers. For her part, Lopez told a radio DJ she was open to being educated on the topic-and the DJ promptly told her animals are routinely skinned alive to make trendy furs. The Camaro Z28 was Motor Trend magazine's Car of the Year for 1982. More than one hundred protestors from People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals held a demonstration at the Los Angeles premiere of Monster-in-Law. The 1982 model introduced the first Camaros with factory fuel injection, four-speed automatic transmissions (three-speed on the earlier models), five-speed manual transmissions (four-speed manual transmissions in 1982, and some 1983 to 1984 models), 15 or 16 inch (381 or 406 mm) rims, hatchback body style, and even a four-cylinder engine for a brief period (due to concerns over fuel economy in the wake of the 1979 energy crisis). Lopez's frequent use of fur in her clothing lines and personal wardrobe has brought the scorn of people concerned with animal rights. Total production had dropped down to 126,139 from a high of 282,571 in 1979. During November of the same year, she launched a new clothing line called "Sweetface". The 1981 model was virutally unchanged from 1980 and would be the last model year for the second generation Camaro. In October 2003, Lopez introduced a perfume called "Still". The Z-28 hood included a rear-pointing raised scoop with a solenoid operated flap which opened at full throttle, allowing the engine to breathe cooler air. She also has a perfume line out called "Glow", and she was in question before, because the name came from another patented perfume. For 1980 the aged 250 in³ (4.1 L) inline six was replaced with a 229 in³ (3.8 L) V6, 231 in³ (3.8 L) in California. Furthermore, she is planning to launch a jewelry line, hats, gloves and a scarves line. A new instrument panel was introduced, and the Z-28 dubbed "the hugger" boasted eye-catching dual-color stripes which wrapped around the lower sides and front bumper. Her line is the most successful of any artists' in history and includes many different types of clothing for young women, including jeans, tees, coats, belts, purses, sexy lingere and many other products. The Type LT model was replaced by the more luxurious Berlinetta with dual mirrors, special wheels, paint, emblems, and interior. Lopez owns a clothing line called "JLO by Jennifer Lopez", whose brand has been licensed for a term by Warnaco Group [1]. This was also the first year the T-top — a t-bar roof with dark tinted glass lift-out panels — became available as an option. In late 2006, Jennifer Lopez is to release her 6th studio album and first Spanish Album titled "Como Ama Una Mujer", and in the Fall she is to release her sixth studio album, an English album. The 1978 model featured new soft front and rear bumpers and much larger taillamps. The second single, "Hold You Down," which featured Fat Joe, only barely made it into the top 75 in the US, peaking at #64 but the track managed a peak of #6 in the UK. More than one Z28 was sold as a stripped radio-delete bare-bones performance car, and in this trim the Z28 could out-perform Pontiac Trans-Ams and aging C3 Corvettes on highways and canyon roads. Even so, "Get Right" was a huge hit in the UK, becoming her second #1 single there. The car was capable of turning in quarter-mile times comparable to many of the nineteen sixties' performance cars, and the chassis was developed to reward the driver with a first-class grand touring experience, capable of outstanding handling, especially in the hands of a competent high-performance driver. Despite this, the album has so-far spawned one hit in "Get Right", which reached the top twenty; however, it was greatly shunned by critics as an almost complete rip-off of Usher's unreleased song Ride. The half-year model was one of the few American performance vehicles available at the time. Debuting at #2 on the Billboard 200 to initially decent sales success, the album quickly fell off the charts and remains to be Lopez's biggest commercial (not to mention critical) failure/flop yet. The cars were also available with a Borg-Warner Super T-10 4-speed manual and minimal option packaging for those buyers interested in a performance-oriented vehicle. After a considerable amount of time away from the music scene, Lopez finally released her fifth studio album, Rebirth, on March 1, 2005. This car was an instant hit, with most cars sold equipped with air-conditioning and an automatic transmission for a comfort-oriented public. In 2004, Lopez once again participated in duets with Marc Anthony, this time on his albums Amar Sin Mentiras and Valio La Pena. The Z28 was re-introduced to the buying public in the spring of 1977 as a 1977-1/2. Another song from the album was a cover of Carly Simon's "You Belong to Me.". These power-robbing additions -- along with stringent new emissions laws -- were instrumental in creating the vastly smaller power figures found in subsequent cars.). Another single, "I'm Glad", was also released, but only managed to go top forty, a rather low result considering Lopez's usual chart success. Net power ratings were taken from the engine crankshaft as before, but now all accessories had to be attached and operating, and all emissions equipment and a full production exhaust system had to be in place. Then, which reached #2 on the Billboard 200 and spawned two very popular singles; the top 5 "Jenny from the Block", (sampling the track from the song "Watch Out Now" by the Beatnuts, and including raps from Jadakiss and Styles P and the multi-week #1 "All I Have" duet with LL Cool J. Two 350 in³ (5.7 L) V8s produced 145 hp (108 kW) and 155 hp (116 kW) (power ratings were now net as opposed to the prior gross ratings. On November 26, 2002, Lopez released her fourth studio album, This Is Me.. The Z-28 option was dropped for the 1975 and 1976 models, and power continued to decline drastically. The album also included rarer dance and hip-hop remixes of her past singles, and a new song, a ballad called "Alive", which was included in Lopez's movie Enough. Round taillights were replaced with a more rectangular wraparound design. This time around, she got 50 Cent and Nas to write rhymes for two remixes of her next single, "I'm Gonna Be Alright", which ended up becoming another top ten hit. The 1974 Camaro grew seven inches longer thanks to new aluminum bumpers and forward sloping grille. This album, too, debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, marking the first remix album in history to debut (or even reach) #1 on the chart. Power was down due to new emissions standards, with the top rated 350 in³ (5.7 L) V8 producing 245 hp (183 kW). Following the successes of the remix, Lopez decided to devote an entire album to the effort; the result, J to tha L-O: The Remixes, appeared on February 5, 2002. The Super Sport package was dropped, and the big block 396 in³ (6.5 L) V8 could no longer be ordered. Rumors suggest this was Tommy Motolla's doing, Carey's ex-husband. A new LT option was offered in 1973, and new impact-absorbing bumpers were standard. The remix of "I'm Real" sparked controversy when it contained a sample originally used for Mariah Carey's single 'Loverboy'. 970 SS396 were produced in 1972, and this was the last year for the SS model. She re-released the CD on her 32nd birthday, July 24, 2001, including Ja Rule's remixed version of "I'm Real". The latter group eventually convinced those in favor of dropping the F Cars to reconsider, and Chevrolet would go on to produce 68,656 Camaros in 1972. Lo street credibility and brought her music to a whole new group of fans. Some at GM seriously considered dropping the Camaro and Firebird altogether, while others were convinced the models remained marketable. The "I'm Real" and "Ain't It Funny" remixes were two of the biggest pop and rap hits in late 2001 and early 2002, respectively, and their more hip-hop sound gave J. A UAW strike at a GM assembly plant in Ohio disrupted production for 174 days, and 1100 Camaros had to be scrapped because they did not meet 1973 Federal bumper safety standards. to remix both songs, completely changing the lyrics and melodies and adding raps from Ja Rule in both songs, and from Caddillac Tah to "Ain't it Funny (Remix)". The 1972 Camaro suffered two major setbacks. However, to capitalize on this, Lopez asked Murder Inc. Besides the base model, buyers could select the "Rally Sport" option with a distinctive front nose and bumper, a "Super Sport" package, and the "Z-28 Special Performance Package" featuring a new high-performance 360 hp (268 kW) 350 in³ (5.7 L) V8. The album's next two singles, "I'm Real" and "Ain't it Funny", ended up becoming her biggest ever hits, with both spending several weeks at #1. Two 454 in³ (7.4 L) engines—the LS-6 and LS-7—were listed on early specification sheets but never made it into production. The lead single, "Love Don't Cost a Thing" was her first UK number one single, and, along with its follow-up, "Play" (which was written by rising teen star, Christina Milian) it became a top five hit during the year the album was released. Starting in 1970, the 396 in³ (6.5 L) nominal big block V8's actually displaced 402 in³ (6.6 L), yet Chevrolet chose to retain the 396 badging. Lo, was released in January 2001 and debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200. The top performing motor was a L-78 396 in³ (6.5 L) V8 rated at 375 hp (280 kW). Her sophomore effort, J. Most of the engine and drivetrain components were carried over from 1969 with the exception of the 230 in³ (3.8 L) six cylinder -- the base engine was now the 250 in³ (4.1 L) six rated at 155 hp (116 kW). "Let's Get Loud" was also released as a single, and became a minor dance hit. The 1970–1/2 Camaro debuted as a 2+2 coupe; no convertible was offered and would not appear again until well into the third generation. The album also spawned another international hit in "Feelin' So Good", a hip-hop track which contained guest raps by Big Pun and Fat Joe; it failed to make the top 50 of the Billboard Hot 100. The larger second-generation Camaro featured an all-new sleek body and improved suspension. Despite this, the video received moderate airplay on the US music channels VH1 and The Box as a novelty. Production numbers:. It also contained the Spanish language, Latin-flavored duet "No me Ames" with Marc Anthony, which was an international DAN hit, though the song was never released as a single in the US. Equipped with the lighter weight "split bumper" in the front (i.e., no bumper across the central grill opening) and with all the refinements and enhancements up to that point, these "1970 1/2" model year vehicles are generally regarded as the most desirable of the early Camaros, since the performance of those immediately following was to be hampered by the addition of heavy Federally mandated bumpers as well as the power-reducing automobile emissions control systems of the period. The album featured the multi-week #1 lead single, "If You Had My Love", as well as the top ten hit "Waiting for Tonight". A small number of 1969 model year cars were titled as 1970 cars; this is also the source of the "1970 1/2" moniker sometimes applied to early 1970 model year cars. Lopez's debut album, On the 6, a reference to the subway line she used to take growing up in Castle Hill, was released on June 1, 1999 and reached the top ten of the Billboard 200. The 1969 model year was exceptionally long, extending into December of 1969, due to production problems with the completely redesigned second generation model. In 1998, the Golden Globes organization nominated her for the "Best Performance by an Actress in a Motion Picture Musical or Comedy" for her role in Selena. Though rated at 430 hp (321 kW) gross, the ZL-1 made closer to 550 hp (410 kW), making it both the fastest and rarest of all Camaros. After a nationwide search of tens of thousands of women, Jennifer was chosen to play the lead role in the film Selena. Just 69 ZL-1 Camaros were produced, probably because the engine alone cost over 4,000 USD—nearly twice that of a base V-8 coupe. She appeared in Francis Ford Coppola's 1996 comedy Jack, and the 1997 thriller Blood and Wine. This option installed an all-aluminum 427 in³ (7.0 L) big-block called the ZL-1. Lopez broke onto the big screen in 1995, in the drama My Family/Mi Familia and opposite Wesley Snipes in the action film Money Train. Even rarer was COPO 9560. She danced for Janet Jackson on tour and in Jackson's video for the popular song "That's the Way Loves Goes" in 1995. Overall, Chevrolet produced just 1,015 L-72 equipped Camaros. She got more television acting parts in the made-for-TV movie Nurses on the Line: The Crash of Flight 7. Don Yenko ordered several hundred of these cars, along with a variety of other high performance options, to create the now-legendary Yenko Camaro. She later starred shortly in Second Chances and Hotel Malibu. The COPO 9561 option brought the fire-breathing L-72 big-block engine, making an underrated 425 hp (317 kW) gross. She got her big break playing a small role in a short-lived television program South Central. So, Chevrolet quietly offered two Central Office Production Orders (COPO) options, numbers 9560 and 9561, for the 1969 model year. Lopez's stability during that time parlayed into the earliest successes of her career. Chevy also knew that there was a market for ultra-powerful Camaros armed with the Corvette's L-72 427 in³ (7.0 L) engine, as evidenced by the success of dealerships like Yenko Chevrolet, Nickey Chevrolet, and Dana Chevrolet, who installed their own. She then left the show after the second season due to confliction between she and another dancer. A GM corporate edict forbid Chevrolet from installing engines larger than 400 in³ (6.6 L) in the Camaro. After month's and month's of auditioning for dance gig's, she got her first spot and started out in television as a video girl for rap artist MC Hammer, also a guest spot on the American Music Awards, and was then introduced to the world as a "fly girl" dancer on the television comedy program In Living Color in 1990 only after being rejected twice. The real treat for the 1969 model year, however, was the vast array of new performance options. She moved out of the house in protest of her controlling parents and was able to shack up with her dance teacher and literally lived on the floor of the dance studio for many years until she could pay rent with occasional work as a dancer. Collectors often debate the merits of smooth, rounded lines of 1967 and 1968 model versus the heavily creased and sportier looks of the 1969. Though she did not, and still does not, drink alcohol, her parents disapproved of her working nights so far from home and feared she was associating with a potentially dangerous crowd. This styling would serve for the 1969 model year only. She split her time between her job at a law office, taking dance classes, and dancing in Manhattan clubs at night. New door skins, rear quarter panels, and rear valence panel also gave the car a much lower, wider, more aggressive look. After she dropped out of high school, Lopez pursued her talent for dance. The grille was redesigned with a heavy "Y" cant and deeply inset headlights. Jennifer Lopez financed singing and dancing lessons from the age of 16. The 1969 Camaro carried over the previous year's drivetrain and major mechanical components, but all new sheet metal, except the hood and trunk lid, gave a car a substantially sportier look. "That's the kind of person she is." She met the famous Jorge "Chicken Wings" Lopez from Jersey City. Production numbers:. "Basically, anything she wants to do, she'll be as successful as you can at it," sister Lynda Lopez told Rolling Stone. 6.5 L (396 in³) 350 hp (261 kW) engine was added as an option for the SS, and Z28 became known by buyers and 7199 units were sold. Her father feared that, new to the sport, she would be outclassed, but Lopez rose to the challenge and ended up competing nationally. On some models, multi-leaf rear springs replaced single-leaf units, and shock absorbers were staggered. She went out for the track team, though she had no experience. SS models received optional chrome hood inserts. She was a driven student and natural athlete in gymnastics, softball, and tennis. Also added were side marker lights, a more pointed front grill, and divided rear tailights. "It was crazy." She spent her entire academic career in Catholic school, and admits she still prays regularly. 1968 saw the deletion of the side vent windows and the introduction of Astro Ventilation, a fresh-air-inlet system. Because her parents were strict, Lopez spent much of what she called "the boyfriend years" in Rolling Stone sneaking around to meet up with first-love David Cruz, whom she remained with from the time she was 16 until she was 25."I was always climbing out windows, jumping off roofs, and he was sneaking up," she said. Production numbers:. Lopez's parents also stressed assimilation — the need to speak English, to fit into the mainstream, to succeed. The 290 hp (216 kW), 5.7 L (350 in³) V8 first saw duty in the 1967 Camaro and virtually every engine in the Chevrolet lineup was offered as an option. "Our parents had a strong work ethic — there wasn't really any other way," Lynda Lopez told Rolling Stone. The TH350 was also an option on SS396 cars from late 1967 onwards. They were strict with their girls and instilled a strong work ethic in them — no one in the family was allowed to miss a day of school, work, or church (the family was devoutly Roman Catholic). The two-speed "Powerglide" automatic transmission was a popular option in 1967-68 until the three-speed "Turbo Hydra-Matic 350" replaced it starting in 1969. Though Lopez's parents were born in the same Puerto Rican town, they did not meet until they both had moved to Castle Hill. A Muncie four-speed manual was also available. She has two sisters, Lynda and Leslie. The Camaro's base powertrain was a 3.8 L (230 in³) I6 engine rated at 140 hp (104 kW) and backed by a Saginaw three-speed manual transmission. Lopez was born in the Bronx, New York to Puerto Rican parents Guadalupe Rodriguez and David Lopez. Almost 80 factory and 40 dealer options including three main packages were available. . Chevrolet offered the car in only two body styles, a coupe and convertible. She is also commonly known as J-Lo or J.Lo. Sharing mechanicals with the upcoming 1968 Chevrolet Nova, the Camaro featured unibody structure, combined with a sub-frame supporting the front end. She is married to singer Marc Anthony. . Jennifer Lynn López (born July 24, 1969) is a well-known American actress, Latin Pop singer, fashion designer, and dancer. Four distinct generations of the car were produced. Reggaeton (2007). If its frequent inclusion in automotive enthusiast magazines is any indication, the Chevy Camaro is one of the most popular cars for modification in automotive history. Bridge & Tunnel (2007). While the Camaro was never the flagship for Chevrolet, it was always one of the most popular models. El Cantante (2006). Though the car's name was contrived with no meaning, GM researchers found the word in a French dictionary as a slang term for "friend" or "companion." Ford Motor Company researchers discovered other definitions, including "a shrimp-like creature" and an arcane term for "loose bowels." In some automotive periodicals before official release, it was code-named "Panther." Historical examples exist of Chevrolet product managers being asked by the automotive press "what is a Camaro?", with the tongue-in-cheek answer being "a small, vicious animal that eats Mustangs," a sideways reference to the competing Ford Mustang. Bordertown (2006). Production of both cars ceased in 2002. Fabolous),Most Fashionable Artist (Won), Most Fashionable Music Video ("Get Right").

Rumors then shifted to suggest a stretched Kappa platform may be used for a future Camaro instead. 2003 Latin Billboard Music Awards: win for Latin Dance Single Of The Year ("Alive"-remix).
