I think that movie is in the Teen-Wolf Series, I'm not sure which one though, most likely the 2nd one.

Thanks to all who responded! I haven't seen half the movies mentioned, but I will now!
Nobody has mentioned the movie with Alyssa Milano back in '86 or '87. Can't think of the title but there was an '86 Yellow IROC in it. Had something to do with taking a driving test.

Umm, I could be wrong...but this movie I LOVE, has her in it and she is test driving a early blazer. She has an encounter with a anemic volvo wagon....passes it. Then out of nowhere a 70s Ferrari comes and spanks the blazer...the dealer said it was "uh...thats uh, a chevy....ummmm...NOVA, that's it a Chevy Nova...." Anyway the movie is awesome, it has a all-star cast, including John Candy, check it out it's called "SPEED ZONE". I am willing to bet the farm there are some third-gens in that movie.

Also nobody mentioned Canonball Run with the White TA Cop car....

Speed Zone was an awesome movie. It was soo good, I am going to let you guys know how the beginning of the movie starts, then I know you will go rent it.

A kid and his grandpa are skipping rocks across a lake. Meanwhile, a Lamborghini Countach is being chased by a few cops. The Lamborghini takes a turn on a dirt road, the cops follow him. Then the the kid sees this Lamborghini skip across the lake at an extremely fast speed, and the cops stop. The kid turns to the grandpa and says "like that" and the grandpa says.. "yep"..

It went something like that, I loved it!! Ok thats it, I am going to find this movie online somewhere on DVD and buy it.

Dude, Speed Zone is the best...

They got a few Stangs, and FBodies in there too.

Who is that chick in the movie, the blond one that John Candy rides with? I think that is Donna Dixon.

Oh, yeah you see a Jag launch itself over a river because they broke the crossing boat and the attendant's nose. And they tear the crap out of a Lamborghini and some big black boxer dude beats the crap out of Spiro Edsel. If you don't get those, well go watch the movie....by far one of the best movies of all time.

The Unforgiven.... ok its not something you'd know. Its a movie I made with a bunch of people for college.

But the star of it is a black Camaro Z28. Its about this loser kid who gets killed and comes back as this advenger to hunt down crimals in his black Camaro Z28. Alot of car chasing sences and running down bad guys.

Hey it counts don't it! If you got a cable modem I'll post the link and you can download it, its only 30mins long, like 250mbs. Quicktime format.

I can't think of any other movies but there are 2 tv show that always have Irocs in them.
Seinfeild has a gold (i think) Iroc that is alway parked outside his apartment, any episode there is a street scean in, that car is in it.
Cops, every episode has some dirtbag who beat up his wife or stole from a liquer store driving an iroc... not the best image maker for us. (Same thing goes for americas most wanted and shows like that, every remake where they show the murderer leaving town he is in an iroc. Sometimes, just to be different, it is a trans-am.)

]Good call! It's actually an '86 Z28 Dk. Red w/gold trim. I have always wondered about that car. It's got to be a crew members car, it's so clean!

I have one no one has said. It is an old movie, but in RAD(OK stop your laughing) made in 1986 there is a yellow Iroc t-top car in the parade. Very nice. The team Mongoose drives it.
