As far as I know, no post 92-93 F-bodies came without 4 wheel disk brakes....

If I remember, some of the 80s cars had rear drums, but I am not totally sure when they started the all 4 disk brakes deal.

Only base models could come with drums. I saw a 98-02 style Camaro with the drums, V6 of course). So if you have them A) you got a converted V6-V8 car B) rear end swap and that was all they had (why they wouldn't swap disc stuff too, beyond me).

A few 96+ V6 cars with the Y87 package got rear discs and a limited slip rear.

My 91 Formula w/ L98 and with damn near every option had "Performance Drums" in the back, even with 3.23s. And to answer the coming question, from someone, the Performance drums are aluminum drums with a steel lining. Less weight and quicker heat dissipation. I guess bomber cars (at the local track) like them for those 2 characteristics.
