Players Club History
The Player's Challenge Series started in 1986 giving GM a platform to showcase racing editions of the Camaro and Firebird. But how do you make that package available to everyone, meeting the showroom-stock rules, while making sure that nobody not in the know actually ordered their cars that way by accident?
Special option codes. GM uses RPO, regular production order, codes to identify different option groups during the build process. They packaged a host of performance updates like larger brake rotors, an aluminum driveshaft, baffled fuel tank (keeps the engine fuelled in long corners), special shocks, stiffer bushings, and a few other goodies under the 1LE option group. But you couldn't just order a 1LE car. Somebody might figure that out. To keep this one for racers, you had to use a cheat code. Pick the G92 performance rear axle ratio, and then C41 for no AC, and now you could pick 1LE. GM built just 10 in 1988, around 100 the next year, and less than 1,500 by the end of production in 1992.
The Canadian cars were even more special. To compete in the Player's Cup series, GM wanted the cars to be nearly identical, so they added an extra layer of option code: R7U, which ran from 1989 to 1992. It took the 1LE car and added some more race-spec goodies. The cars originally came with sealed versions of the 5.0L V8. They were supposedly hand built for improved consistency. They also got a different ECU, with changes to let them run better with the open exhaust they were expected to use on track.
Since they were street legal, and GM made sure to have enough for all the racers, there were some extras. Cars were sold to anyone who wanted one straight out of the showroom. If you're interested in buying some Canadian racing history, or just really nostalgic for 1990s motorsports, then this car could be just what you're looking for.
