GM lists these RPO's for headlight flashers, at this time I cannot say if they were offered on the Camaro, but definitely there were factory wig-wags:

6J2 WIRING PROVISIONS, HEADLIGHT FLASHER AND GRILLE
N/A
6J3 WIRING PROVISIONS, HEADLIGHT FLASHER, GRILLE LIGHTS
N/A
6J4 WIRING PROVISIONS, HORN/SIREN CIRCUIT

the power steering option was
V12 COOLING SYSTEM, POWER STEERING, FLUID

5.7 Liter LTI V8
6-speed manual or 4-speed electronically controlled automatic transmission
Single exhaust and converter with dual tailpipes
Performance suspension
16' aluminum wheels
P245/50ZR-16 speed-rated blackwall tires
4-wheel vented anti-lock disc brakes
3.23:1 limited slip rear axle (automatic transmission)
3.42:1 limited slip rear axle (manual transmission)
Transmission oil cooler (automatic transmission only)
140-amp alternator
525-CCA battery
Air conditioning
150-mph speedometer.

This is pretty accurate for the model year specified- the LT1 B4C's had a larger alternator than the LS1's got- typically the used Goodyear GS-c tires that were pricey and didn't last all that well, but were speed-rated.

Again, these are all the standard Z equipped parts. We aren't comparing LT1 to LS1 alternators.

There was a guy on the board a few months ago that posted his actual build sheet for his 1996 B4C. None of those options you list above were on it.

GS-C's were the standard tire on the early years, on ALL cars with the "QLC" Z-rated tire option. My 94 Formula had them from the factory, I replaced them at 20,000 miles and they still had more than 1/2 the tread left on them. I replaced them with 275/40-17 GS-C's, and took those off after they had 45,000 miles on them, and sold them with my 17x9.5" wheels for a very good price, because they still had more than 1/3 of the original tread left.

Peopls ASSumed the GC-C's wore prematurely, because the outer edge of the tread, where it wrapped around to the sidewall started with less tread depth, and they failed to rotate the tires as recommended, saw the "edge wear" and ASSumed they were wearing out. They weren't.

This is a GS-C with 45,000 miles on it (the narrow one on the right, obviously). Note what appears to be excessive wear on the outer edge of the directional tire - it was designed that way.
