1982 Z-28 Camaro Pace Car vs 1982 Trans Am

We filmed this little "Road and track" parody in 1984 in Spokane Washington at the Spokane Interstate Fairgrounds and at Spokane Community College. Steve Casteel driving his 1982 Chevy Z-28 Camaro and Ron Casteel driving his 1982 Pontiac Trans Am. Robert Shivley was "Fred" the Road and Track guy.

What camera was this filmed on

[yodeheyvavhey]

@nipperoid

It was a brand new betamax movie camera. It costs a mere $2,500 and had the giant VCR on a shoulder strap and a cord to the hand-held camera. It's the best I had back in the 80's.

0-60 in less than 7 seconds?! Really?! Not bad! Assuming that's true...

Any idea where these two beauties are now?

[yodeheyvavhey]

No idea, I sold the Z-28 back in 87 in Jackson Hole Wyoming. I think my brother sold the Trans Am around the same time in Spokane Washington.

@v10viper04 yeah i have a 84 trans am I was suprised when I was looking threw codes that it had a disc posi but ran 3.23 rear gears. I have replaced them since with 3.73 rear disc posi, but I have seen some FIREBIRDS with drum

[v10viper04]

@thunderup86 Yea..... most base model Camaro's came with Drum and so did base model Firebirds. Trans am's came with discs like the Z28 and IROC-Z's. So yes your right but your comparing a base model to a performance model... Camaro/Firebird- Drum Z28,IROC-Z/Trans AM,Formula- Disc

[thunderup86]

@v10viper04 actually most camaros came with Drum bakes while trans am's came with disc posi. but there are performance differences but they are to subtle to matter

305 4 bbl. in an 82 Z28 had 145 horsepower. Even the cross fire injection 305 in the TA only had 165 and it was the top hp motor for those cars. I don't know where they got it had 185 horsepower from, but it is not true.

I just restored a 1982 camaro pace car and am looking to sell it if anyone wants it. Put in brand new 383 motor and 350 tranny on it but have the old motor.
