Engine Codes:

1996 saw minor mechanical revisions, as well as small power gains from the new OBD II-compliant engine controls. All base model Camaros were now equipped with the 3800 series II. V8 models still came with the 5.7L LT1 engine. The dual catalytic converters required by OBD-II resulted in lower restriction and a mild power boost to 285 hp (213 kW) and 325 ft·lbf (441 N·m) of torque. Two option packages also returned: the RS, an appearance option for the V6 model, and the SS, a performance and appearance package for V8-powered cars. The SS cars, which were modified by Street Legal Performance (SLP) through contract with GM, were the highest factory performance Camaros offered at the time and included a functioning hood scoop and new five-spoke 17 in (43 cm) x 9 in (23 cm) wheels. The new wheel and tire package on the SS resulted in better handling and braking compared to the Z28. Also available this year for the V6 model was the Y87 package, which included an Auburn LSD, better tires, dual exhaust tips, 4 wheel disk brakes, and a sportier steering ratio.

From 1993 to 2002 Chevrolet attached a "service parts identification" label (SPID) or RPO Codes list to the front passenger side glove box or to the inside of the door.
