Performance Drops

Considered by many to be the next-worse year in performance history next to the introduction of emissions. In 1975 Catalytic Converters were now federally mandated on every car, totally killing any semblance of performance seen before. Chevrolet performed what was arguably a smart move, dropping the Z28 from the lineup, rather than offering the performance legacy with an anemic excuse for an engine.



The only significant change was the addition of the new wrap-around rear window to increase visibility, and a new two-tone paint scheme on the returning RS model (replacing the Z28).
