No, they are not...unless the car was delivered that way from Berger Chevrolet. That panel is called a tail panel, and if you paint it black, it's simply a black tail panel. :)

You will hear many people say otherwise, but they are mistaken.

so only camaros from Berger Chevy came with the rear panel blackout?

No, many (all?) BBC first gens and early second gens came from GM with a black tail panel. Some cars sold by Berger Chevy had the tail panel painted black as part of special dealer packages that were done.

IMO, only F-bodies that arrived at Berger Chevy with a "normal" tail panel, and were sold by them with a black painted tail panel can be considered as having a "Berger Panel"

It was more than just Camaros, as well. A lot of factory hot rods came with blacked out tail panels.

In an EPIC FAIL, 4th gen guys call a black tail panel a "Berger panel" since it was made popular by the Berger cars. Which is why a Green Berger Panel is a Fail x2- a "Berger" panel can only be black, and it isn't a "Berger" panel unless it's on a Berger 4th gen.

people have gone plenty fast in the past with 10 bolts. I wouldn't "not drive the car" just because it has a 10 bolt. Don't shock the rear too much and you will be ok.

1100 bucks gets you a nice set of ported stock castings. I would not throw a stock headed 383 back in there IMO.

Port the stockers would be the best bang for your buck.

Personally I like Lloyd Elliot stuff, and if you PM jerzLt1 he can attest to how they perform. And of course, there is Advanced inductions which utilize CNC porting vs hand porting. Search on tech for LE2s vs. AI 200cc.

Or locally, I think JS perf does porting but not 100% on that. Shoot him a PM.
