Great video, Zack. I had a black 86 IROC Z. It was a great car, and I loved how it handled mountain roads. The crazy thing that I remember about it. The rims were balanced for each corner of the vehicle, meaning when you rotated the tires, they needed to be unmounted and remounted on a different rim.

My parents bought a 1992 RS used in 1994 or so and handed it off to me in 2019 after putting around 150,000 miles on it. My first car, I drove it for another ten thousand or so miles until the mechanic bills were just too much to handle as a broke college student. It sat for many years unused before I started driving it, and I'm not very mechanically inclined so it was a bit too much for me. Iirc it was the 25th Anniversary Edition in Polo Green II, like a really dark metallic green, with gold racing stripes, one of around 500 in that configuration in the US. Very fun car to drive in my teens/early twenties, sometimes I still miss it. Sold it and used the money to buy a last year of the last generation Lincoln Town Car with 80k on it. Thanks for the video, Zack.

Great Camaro Review. I'm from the UK and have owned two 3rd gen Camaros. My first one was an white 87 IROC-Z which I owned way back in the early 90's as a very young man. Bearing in mind this was in the UK, it turned heads everywhere. Great fun and sounded awesome. I too love cars from the 80's (probably my favourite era for cars, music and culture). 👍

Nice review! My first dream car was a (Red) 1990 IROC-Z 5.7 TPI w/700R4. It looked so aggressive with the “IROC”stripe/decal package/wheel combo. It had the flowmaster exhaust and hypertech chip! One of the greatest Camaro’s ever made. The handling was levels above the competition in its heyday. The only disappointment was was the fact it wasn’t offered with a manual..🥹 Regret selling it..✌️

Had an '85 IROC in white. It was a cool looking car, rode like a tank and it was seriously under powered. Mine had an issue with it's 5.0. 2 years after I bought it at 23k miles the cam wiped. It was under warrantee, so the dealership replaced it. Then at 41k miles another cam wiped and the T-tops started leaking... This would ultimately be the car that turned me away from GM, almost. I ended up trading it after that cam was replaced for a 1990 300 ZX Turbo. That thing scatted and 0 issues with it until 1994 when it was stolen, stripped and set on fire in a field. Apparently the huge issue with Nissan at the time was you could break into one and start it with a fingernail file lol. I did ultimately buy another GM car when the 300 ZX was stolen. It was a 1987 Buick Grand national with 30k miles on it. It reminded me not to buy GM again... ever. Fast as hell, comfort for days, but I learned after just 5k miles I had to put it's second transmission into it from the shop after mine went out. 10k more miles and another tranny was gone. Got the trans replaced again sold it for almost what I paid for it at 45k miles and learned to never buy GM again lol. I switched up and bought a new 1996 F150 with the 300 I6. Drove it until 2016 with 450k miles on it and only ever had to replace an AC compressor, and sold it to a neighbor after buying a new F150. He to this day drives that truck to work everyday in 2023 and has done nothing to it. Last I asked, he was up to nearly 600k miles... Ironically, the newer (2016) F150 is the reason I'll never buy Ford again lol. Nothing but one headache after another (I should have just kept the 1996 F150)

There was an optional RPO for the IROC cars to get a 140 mph speedo starting in 1986. Also I have always felt that the tpi cars should have gotten the 200-4R transmission. I helped a friend swap one into an 86 after the 700-R4 died, and the first to second gear spacing helped acceleration so much it was like a different car. Just a few mods to make the torque arm work, a longer driveshaft, and it was great.

The 140 speedo was not an RPO, and it was not an option. The 140 speedo was introduced mid year 1986 on both the Camaro and the Trans Am, as the mandate for the 85mph speedo was lifted.

These have aged well, in an 80s way. This car just screams mullet and cassette tapes. T-tops are cool when they fit. I'd still prefer a Firebird for the more refined style. When I was younger and before I knew what these were, I would see the nose of a red one like this parked next to a house. I didn't know what it was and I thought it was something Italian. Later when I found out it was a Camaro I was surprised.

Man I forgot about that blank space on the dash! I had an 84'Camaro and an 85 Trans Am (plus a bunch of others but this is more specific), and I just completely forgot about that. I don't remember Trans Am wise, but the Camaro is just asking for a screen there to be able to update the interior without any permanent modifications that could screw with anything later on down the road. You could literally just throw an iPad on there to call it a day, but at least it will be updated. Either way though, another great video and I'm going to be messaging you soon about a Trans Am and Corvette I have

It's not a trailer park car. If you were especially a young adult with a decent job back in the 80's and you wanted a sports coupe that was relatively affordable. A quick car for its day, a good handling car for its day, a stylish car, well the Chevrolet Z-28 / IROC-Z was one good choice. The peers to it that you could choose from through the 80's included. Pontiac Firebird/ Trans am Ford Mustang GT. Dodge Daytona Turbo/ Shelby Z Chrysler Laser turbo Mazda RX-7 Toyota Supra Nissan 300z Mitsubishi Starion/ Plymouth Conquest All were relatively affordable, sporty, cool and fun drivers sporty cars.😎 My choice was eventually a Dodge Daytona Shelby Z... Loved that car.😎

I’ve only ever had the 350 V8 Camaro and Trans Am in the late 80’s. They weren’t super powerful. Think they had 240-250hp. Everyone put a flowmaster, hypertech chip and K&N filters in them back in the day. I did a little more work on mine and put a different throttle body on it. Still, prob only 250-260hp. But back then, that was pretty good. My V8 Mercedes has twice that horsepower today 😂. But I enjoyed my Camaros and Trans Ams. I didn’t switch to European cars til after I got smoked by a BMW M3. 😂 But they were fun cars for me in my early 20’s.

Great review. Especially since the car is somehow connected to your family as your reminder. I'd love to see a review of the 3rd gen Pontiac Firebird Trans Am. They were sayin' that despite they built them up at the same plants (Van Nuys Ca, Norwood Oh) they somehow were different in their road manners. Engines were the same and somehow ....a shame for their looks. Something that started to change a bit in their late years.Especially for the more aerodynamic Firebird considering its drag at 0.30 compared with Camaro's 0.36. But nonetheless it'd be a pleasure watching ya reviewing a Bird.

Being a kid in the '70s I grew up with & adored the previous gen "Smokey & the Bandit" Camaro models, however I must say that the looks of these Gen 3's have really grown on me in later years. Same with the Corvettes; always loved the swoopy, almost clownish lines of the C3's however acquiring a nice C4 is now a priority for me. Something about the wedge-shaped, compact, angular design of sports coupes in the 80's is just timeless to this day (who knows, with the recent release of the Cybertruck maybe this design style will make a comeback?)

I remember smashing gas to floor and it smoked tires. It was cheap I can't fully recall but I feel like the asking price was around $4,000. I ended up buying a 1991 LX 5.0 mustang in Ohio for around $4,000 I was the 2nd owner but the mustang didn't need anything besides a driver.

Fun review! Did you know that the third gen F-bodies were the first cars entirely designed by computers? The biggest letdown on this generation (including the Firebird) was the abysmal build quality. I owned a '83 Firebird SE 5.0L as a 4 year old trade in and every possible system failed at least once..power steering pump, rack, EGR, ball joints, front struts, differential bearings, bushings, u-joints, the whole drive shaft, transmission output seal, transmission casing, cylinder head crack, camshaft lobe severe wear, rear lift gate would become dislodged and cracks started propagating at hinges while going up driveways, rear wheel bearings (both), axle seals - the list goes on and on and on...so when you mentioned lemon law, It reminded me how troublesome these cars were with the first and second gen owners - the owners that depended on them as daily drivers, through all weather conditions. Obviously my car was not covered by the Lemon Law at that time and I lived with it until I just could not take it anymore. As an enthusiast retro cruiser or modded hot rod, the third gen cars have earned a much better reputation since the expectation of continued tinkering, fixing and modifications are expected - and part of the fun.

Nope tpi as follows:85/86 305 auto only…87’ 305 auto, and 1st year for manual with tpi,,and first year for 350-auto only..88-92 same .. 89-92 305’s in manual only got the 350 hotter cam and were just under the 350 autos horsepower like 10 less… these same 5 speed cars were hardtop only as the had g92 performance gear with the g80;posi. Very tricky ordering combos on these that most have no clue what’s what… all this changed with the 4th gen. 350 ,manual t- tops ,everything could be bundled together

Dad owned an '86 Iroc Camaro. That was by far the worst automobile I have ever encountered-- and I, like my father, am a Chevy enthusiast. It was very fast, and thrilling to drive. It also broke down practically every month. Wheel alignment could not be maintained. The radiator core giving heat to the interior exploded, flooding the interior with coolant. The struts that held up the hood and rear hatch failed within weeks, over and over again. The car was recalled for a soft camshaft months after Dad bought it. The tires wore out in a few months because of the wheel alignment is issues. The brakes lasted only a couple of years. The fuel injection was constantly needing repair. And on, and on, and on. In perspective, I do understand that the Iroc Camaro wasn't uniquely bad in 1986. Practically everything GM manufactured in that entire decade was trash.

The 305cid IROC's were junk, especially with the 700r4...! The 350cid, 5-speed with the tuned port beat everything in Sarasota Florida back then...! Bee Ridge rd extension.... The fox bodies didn't stand a chance in factory form...! Thanks for the memories... Keep up your awesomeness...

@@kurtisstutzman7056 interesting, to my knowledge the iroc would’ve been faster than the corvette at that time with that combo which is why they refrained, could’ve possibly been dealer swapped for appeal but must’ve been a fun car with that drivetrain

@@jakubmk1526 Yeah, I'm not sure, but it probably was dealer installed because he still had warrantee on it... He also had an 85 Z28, he blew up the factory 305 and replaced it with a built 350, also with a 5-speed... It had 4bbl Holley and all the normal bolt-ons... It was his fastest car, but neither the 90 IROC, or the 85 Z28 ever lost to a factory 5.0 Mustang...!!! Thanks for the info, I never knew the factory never offered a 350/5-speed Camano... It is too bad the factory disallowed them, but you're right, nothing could be faster than the Corvette... They axed some very cool cars for the reason alone...! Thanks again
