This was just at the time when computers first entered the picture making it possible to bring the horsepower slowly back up from the depressing 1970s emission-choked engines. 200 hp might not sound like much today but believe me, in 1985 it was a Godsend. It was only about 13 years earlier that a Z28 horsepower rating dropped from 375-425 to under 200 overnight. Then by 1977 the top dog Camaro was putting out maybe 160 hp? It was bad.
