In 1970 Chevrolet released their second-generation model in with much success. Production lasted for about 12 years but this time, it was no longer offered in convertibles. The model’s incurred success was credited to its new styling which was European-inspired but which others would say was Ferrari-styled.
Still based on the Nova, 1970 Camaro was still engineered with a unibody structure with front subframe, leaf springs at the back, and A-arms up front for front suspension. As the 1970s progressed, Camaro continuously become strangled by the pressuring tough emission standards and fuel crisis. Chevrolet actually enlarged the engines into 402 cubic inches but still bore the name of 396 to carry on with the already recognized name.
This time, the Rally Sport package featured a unique front-end appearance with a split front bumper and a center grille cavity encircled in rubber. The SS again had heavier-duty suspension and the SS logos.
It was the Z28 which saw the most radical change now powered by a 360-horsepower high-compression “LT-1″ 350. The LT-1 was easy-going in everyday traffic, revved with enthusiasm and was now available with an automatic transmission.
