285 vs. 305 vs. 310
Those are the 3 HP options offered in 96, how do I know which one I am? I am guessing 285 was Z28 and 310 was SS? so what about 305? Z28 M6? thanks

dammit, I used to know the answer to this question......I bought a brand new '94 TA GT and I kept up to date for quite a while after.......one thing I am pretty sure of......the ratings didn't have anything to do with the transmission being auto or manual. I'll see if I can find out.

Only time i've heard 3 options is if you included the v6.. Between a Z28 & SS there should be a 15-20hp difference..

Interesting, it may of been like in the 80's where they had a base model, a z28 & an i-rock. HP ratings come down to the intake and i thought 285 seemed way to high for a v6. Originally Posted by JwMonE99
