I remember wanting one of these when I was in high school back in the 80s. They seemed so powerful and fast. I thought the old school V8s that they put in the Mustangs, Corvettes and Z-28s were the end-all and be-all of sports car performance. It's funny because the car I drive now (2023 Acura TLX Type S) will absolutely destroy all of those cars in every conceivable way. I do still love the look of the Z-28s from that era, especially the T-Tops!

Save for the fact it didn't have the obligatory lemon-yellow paint job, the IROC Z was a rolling time capsule, that harkens back to the day of the neighborhood pizanos, tearing up and down the streets ping-ponging from nightclub to nightclub, in that lemon-yellow nightmare, you had a black one or two here and there, with the t-tops off, and the obligatory wife beater, coiffed mullet... feathered to the 'T' with the Italian horn necklace, top speed… blaring the Aldo Nova, I guess for some, those were the days.

Nice car, but sold. That said, this is a semi-rich man's car. $55K for an American in 87? I remember those days. The American quality wasn't the best, so it's best to have another $10K set aside for repairs. I had a 85 Pontiac which the tranny would not shift to the higher gear whenever it did feel like to. I had a Dodge Dynasty which used to JERK shift whenever it felt like to. Aside from the American glitches, I love the IROC and the RS of those days. I like the RS even better. They looked a little cleaner.
