Has anyone seen the more recent IROC? Google Volkwagon IROC.

Re: Iroc based Dodge prototype

IROC is only the internal code name
its a scirocco to everyone else, or should i say, scirocco
it has nothing to do with the international race of champions

Re: Iroc based Dodge prototype

There was a dodge running around in 80's amd 90's that picked up several names, same bodystyle. In mid 80's it was known as the Charger. Had blue seats and a 4 cylinder. Almost purchased one, then in late 80's, it was the Daytona. Then it was the Iroc. Proably had couple other names along the way. Not the kind of cars you guys are thinking of. Had a olds Quntrum that had a 4 cyl turbo that would blow my friends cars away. It was hell getting beat by a 4 door.

There was the early 90's Dodge Daytona IROC R/T. Dodge picked up the license to the IROC tag after Camaro. Even though it only had half the cylinders than the Camaro's 5.0L TPI, with the turbo on that little 4-banger it pumped out just as much horsepower at ~224hp! And even though the torque was lower, it still managed to perform just as well. 0-60 in 6.3 seconds. Qtr mile in 14.8sec @ 92mph. Not bad at all.
The things that didn't make it an equal to the Camaro was . . .
Front wheel drive resulted in horrible torque steer.
Handling wasn't as good with a lateral g force of ~tenth less.
And I personally don't think it looks nearly as good.
