2002 CHEVROLET CAMARO CELEBRATES 35 YEARS AS AN AMERICAN CLASSIC
Camaro is the purest, most uncompromising expression of the breed, "America’s honest sports car." And it celebrates its 35-year heritage by introducing a limited edition 35th Anniversary Package in 2002, available on SS Coupes and SS Convertibles. All are finished in Bright Rallye Red. Coupes include removable T-tops roof panels and body-color roof halo; convertibles have a black top. Wide dual stripes, fading solid silver into a checkered flag, run the length of the vehicle from the front fascia, over the hood and onto the rear decklid and spoiler.
Other distinguishing features are black SS wheels with machine-faced surfaces, a silver debossed Camaro name on the front grille and rear fascia, and commemorative front fender emblems.
Inside, the 35th Anniversary logo is embroidered onto the front headrests and a special trophy/rear shelf mat. Also included is an Ebony leather interior trim with Medium Gray leather inserts as well as a special-issue owner’s portfolio. And all 2002 Camaros sport a 35th anniversary badge on the dashboard.
Camaro continues in coupe or convertible form. Eager to perform, Camaro offers four unique models, a trio of transmission options and other option packages such as the SS. Customers have a choice of affordable performance-oriented sporty cars with traditional rear-wheel drive and muscular pushrod V8 engines versus higher-priced domestic or import models.
Choice of coupes & convertibles
The four available models are Camaro Coupe and Convertible, and Z28 Coupe and Convertible. Coupe models are also available with removable roof panels, exclusive among the non-GM vehicles in its market segment.
In addition, two option packages transform Camaro into something sportier still. The Sport Appearance Package includes specific front and rear fascias and a rear spoiler extension, and is available on any Camaro model except the SS.
The SS Performance/Appearance Package adds even more ‘beef’ to the already muscular Z28 coupe or convertible. It includes more power–325 horsepower vs. Z28’s 310–a forced-air induction composite hood, unique rear spoiler and low-restriction/dual-outlet exhaust with larger pipes, and can be ordered with either a six-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission.
Additionally, a host of performance and appearance options are available on the Camaro SS, such as a grille insert, a "cat-back" exhaust system with center-mounted rear exhaust outlets, special purpose suspension packages and more.
The Camaro RS package is also available on the Camaro V6 coupe.
Standard features list expanded
Several significant adjustments have been made to the list of standard equipment for Camaro in 2002. For instance, all V6-equipped models receive P235/55R-16 touring tires and painted 16-inch cast aluminum wheels, which replace P215/55R16 ties and bolt-on wheel covers. All V8-powered models benefit from wider speed rated P245/50ZR-16 Goodyear Eagle RS-A all-season tires for increased road-holding capability. The new tires replace P235/55R16 Goodyear Eagle GA non-speed rated tires.
Additionally, a four-speed automatic becomes standard issue on V6-equipped convertibles, and a power steering cooler is outfitted on all Z28 models. Sebring Silver Metallic joins the Camaro exterior color palette, replacing Mystic Teal Metallic.
A well-equipped driver’s car
Driving excitement is standard equipment with Camaro, yet Chevrolet has not overlooked comfort, convenience and safety.
High-back bucket seats, driver-oriented instrumentation and center armrest/console provide the front occupants with a cockpit-like feel. Every Camaro also features power-assisted four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, power-assisted rack-and-pinion steering, a tilt steering column, air conditioning and a Firm Ride & Handling suspension.
Sound systems include an AM/FM stereo with in-dash CD player and extended range speakers for V6-equipped coupes. The V6 convertibles and all Z28s also get an upgrade with standard installation of a Monsoon AM/FM Premium Sound system with in-dash CD. All systems feature an electronically tuned receiver (ETR) and include TheftLock, seek-scan and auto tone control. A 12-disc remote CD changer is optional across the Camaro family.
Standard safety and security items include dual front air bags, battery run-down protection, a passive theft-deterrent system, engine oil life monitor and daytime running lamps.
