My name is Aaron Pass with Microsoft Game Studios. We are currently in the development stages of a new racing game for the Xbox 360. We need a few cars of the Third Gen era for the game. I am writing to you all because we need to locate the cars for a photo shoot for reference images for the 3D modelers. Please let me know if you are the owner of one of these cars or if you know an owner. Thank you very much for your time and I hope to hear from some of you soon! Here are the cars we need:
1987 Pontiac Trans Am GTA 1990 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z
1990 IROC's are going to be pretty hard to find, not a lot of them around. But body wise, they haven't changed since 1985. And all the 88-90 RS cars are the same body wise.

Dont forget in 91-92 they changed the Ground FX up a little for RS and Z28. They had "air ducts" as opposed to being flat. Also the spoiler changed and the hood louvres went to hood blisters on all Z28's.

No IROC's in 91-92, all the 85-90 IROC's are the same body wise, with the execption of the door decal locations. The 1990 MY cars have a diffrent interior, but I doubt the came makers are going to worry about that.
there is a guy who works for microsoft in Seattle who drives an 88 trans am GTA that is badgeless. (or a T/A w/o fender vents, depending on your point of view). his name is "Mangus" on the boards.
i have an 88 GTA. when are you planning on doing this photo shoot? other then the wrong color wheels and the wrong spoiler my car is identical to a late model year 87 in every way on the outside. i also have a TON of pictures from many angles from a feature that was done on my car, including closeups of the badging and finer details.
some info on badge placement can be found here www.gtasourcepage.com click "authentication tips"

Thanks everyone for your help, I have found a 90 camaro but still am looking for the 87 Trans Am GTA. It has to be that year and the GTA. Please continue to help if you can. Thanks!
I've got a 1989 iroc-z that is 100% stock 28k original miles, and a 1988 Iroc-z that has aftermarket wheels and is lowered. Let me know if either will work for you.

You know you really want a 91 trans am convertible to render.
Both cars have the correct stock paint color and sticker package. Email me if you are interested in either one. I live in Snohomish WA, about twenty miles from the main campus.
If it is, what is it? Otherwise it's an epic game, and it might be taking them longer to work out glitches. I know Forza 3 is around the corner. Hopefully, they have third gens in that game, too.

I know when we did the game that we were involved in it took them just shy of a year to get it out, we now have a copy of it but we dont have an Xbox lol

I didnt notice the original posting date, thought it was a current project for them.
I know for a fact the MS is working on another racing game now. My uncle was offered a job a couple months ago validating the handling of the cars in the new game. MS gave him an XBox and several racing games to get him fimilar with the controls.
