On the 1968 Z/28, you must have either the Protecto-Plate, Broadcast sheet (Production build sheet), or the correct Engine Production Code with the correct Engine Block Vehicle Code stamping to verify that your car is an authentic 1968 Z/28.
For six years, Chevrolet offered the IROC trim model of the Z/28 (from 1985-1990), which was an acronym for International Race of Champions. The race series had been the brainchild of Roger Penske and was a fixture of ABC's Wide World of Sports.Sep 2, 2020
The old ZL1 beat the old Z28 and the new ZL1 beats them all. Adding the higher performance suspension, the wider wheels and tires and the extreme aero bits should most certainly allow the 1LE-equipped 6th gen ZL1 to turn the quickest time ever for a muscle car at most road courses – not just the Nürburgring.May 17, 2017
All of them are RPO codes, and really have zero meaning. Most of the time, they are for an RPO code for the suspension. Z28 was the RPO code for the Trans-Am spec Camaro. Z71 gets you an offroading suspension. Z06 was a special suspension for race-type Corvette from the 60's.Jan 24, 2007
Sure, it was on par with the offerings of those other manufacturers, and at least it came with a V8. The 1990 Camaro offered the most power of the third-gen at 245 horsepower. In fact, the research I did shows the 1990 IROC-Z traveled 0 to 60 mph in 5.7 seconds and tripped the quarter-mile lights in 14.20 seconds.Mar 12, 2021
Package and engine options would vary in each model year they were offered. The Z28 was a more expensive package than the SS. In 1969, the cost to add the Z28 option was less than $200 more than the SS, but the difference was noticed in the appearance and street performance.
The name Z/28 will be forever linked with the Chevrolet Camaro. In reality, it was a simple three digit, alphanumeric GM sales code for a "Special Performance Package" that was introduced in December 1966.
ZL1 was the engine code for the aluminum 427 used In Some of the 69 Copos and corvettes. It went on to be designated as Chevys top motor.Mar 25, 2021
The letters RS on the Chevy Cruze stands for "Rally Sport". It is a package available on the LT and Premier trims for the 2019 model year for both the sedan and hatchback. Aesthetic changes brought with the RS package include black Chevy bowtie emblems, RS badges, and a sport body kit with black moldings.
It was based partially on the GM X platform, which was used for compact applications instead of the sporting intent of the F-Body. Earlier Camaros and Firebirds had differing VIN codes, but are now commonly referred to as F-bodies.
To answer your question, X11 was the "catch all" code because so many models had the same body trim. So X11 could be: 1. Plain Jane with style trim (any motor except, 302, 350/300 and all 396's) Note that some COPO 427's were X11. 2.Jun 17, 2002
The best way to tell if the car is an “authentic†IROC-Z is to look at the VIN number and, most importantly, the RPO codes (granted the “faker†didn't swap out the center console with a real IROC-Z, then you would have to decode all of the numbers and figure out if the vehicle is indeed an IROC.)Feb 11, 2018

A/C wasn't available with mechanical-lifter engines, including 302 Z/28, 396/375-hp L78, and COPO 427s. The four official 1969 Camaro 396 big-block options were the L34 (325 hp), L35 (350 hp), L78 (375 hp, iron heads), and L89 (375 hp with aluminum heads).Nov 4, 2020

The Protect-o-Plate was a small stamped metal plate that was sent, by the factory, with each vehicle produced. It was stamped with basic identification data about components like engine, carburetor, transmission and rear axle. The Protect-o-Plate was given to the original owner.
Unfortunately there are no codes on a '68 Camaro to help identify an SS. A Protect-o-plate can be helpful in identifying a first gen. SS but be careful because there are places that make reproductions of both trim tag and protect-o-plate.
Look for an "L" as the fifth character in the VIN. This signifies that your Camaro has a 350 cubic-inch engine, which came stock in the 1979 Z28.
