New Pictures of my 1988 IROC-Z
Here some new pics of my IROC. Still needs to be detailed but I think it looks pretty good for a 117k daily driver with original paint!

Re: New Pictures of my 1988 IROC-Z
Thanks for the compliments guys! I had another car as an everyday driver, but a snowstorm took that out.....
This is everyday car for now and to be honest, I wasn't sure I'd enjoy driving it all the time, but this thing is great! So much fun and gets alot of looks too!

Rumblin, you've found yourself a gem there. She's a beauty; congratulations.
Original paint - incredible. When you post more pics, rest assured that I'll view them. Thanks for the post. BTW, '88 was a vintage year.

Re: New Pictures of my 1988 IROC-Z
Thanks again guys! The car is nice, but the pictures make the car look better than it really is.......after a good detailing and touch up though, it will be pretty close.
Thanks for the link to the Third Gen Fest as it looks like a great event, but I won't make that this year.......maybe next.
Our trip this year is the Hot Rod Power Tour in just a few weeks!

Re: New Pictures of my 1988 IROC-Z
As for finding a similar car, you just have to be patient and keep an open mind. I saw this car on Craigslist in November and I'll bet it sat there for a month before I called the owner. It had louvers, a trailer hitch and headlight covers on it, none of which I really liked. When I checked it out, it was a solid car with good history and an honest owner. All worked out pretty well overall.
Here's a picture of the engine compartment. As I said, it still needs a good detailing as it was/is a driver. No good pics of the interior yet as it has a tear in the drivers seat. I do have a replacement so as soon as I have time, I'll swap it and take some pictures.

Re: New Pictures of my 1988 IROC-Z
I've been debating on whether to keep the '88 GTA Notchback I'm working on right now or trading it for a 5.7L IROC. If I trade it, I want one JUST like that. Nice car!

Thanks again all! Here's a couple more taken at our local dealer today while they were offering test drives in the new 2010 Camaro. The car next to mine is an original 1969 Z/28 with no cowl hood, no rear spoiler and a cross ram!

Re: New Pictures of my 1988 IROC-Z
Thanks for the compliment!
Thanks very much! In addition to being the daily driver we did the 2010 Power Tour with it.....3500 miles in 5 days.....car has 137K on it now.
Went to the dragstrip too......little slow though.......14.83@92 MPH. Seemed to take forever during the 2-3 shift. This was with HOT weather and no prep. With better weather, fuel and a little tuning I'll bet it would be low 14's just like my last one was 20 years ago.
Here's a pic next to the YearOne T/A in the hotel parking lot.

Re: New Pictures of my 1988 IROC-Z
Very beautiful car man, i miss my 88 5.7. Mine was black with the t-tops, 16K original miles, it was in mint shape. Theres just something about the 88 IROCs that draw my attention

Re: New Pictures of my 1988 IROC-Z
Great looking car, inside and out. the white ones are Always nice. they pretty much always look clean, for the most part. yours is nicer than most I've seen. great job in keeping it up and looking so cool man.
My first Camaro was an 87 Z28, red, T-Tops, grey ground effects. That car didn't drive fast, it flew low. LOL ( man do I miss that car ). these days I own a grey 92 RS, 3.1L V6, but I'm afraid that it doesn't look as nice as your. oh the body is straight, only minor nicks and a scratch or two, but it's just a parts car as I don't have a title for it and I can't get one for it ( Bummer ), so what I have is pretty much a parts car while I search for another Camaro body with a good title and then I can do a transplant with the RS. ah, one day, but Yours is Emmaculent. best wishes with it. *S*
Camaro-454
PS mine will be a daily driver too once I've found it.

Re: New Pictures of my 1988 IROC-Z
Thanks again!
As for the tips, they are actually yellow, which probably matched the car years ago as it had the grey/yellow stripe combo new. The yellow had been off before me or the previous owner purchased it, which dates back to 1998.
It has a unique exhaust system as those tips are the mufflers. Years ago, someone removed the factory muffler, Tee'd the exhaust and put the tips on. I have a brand new Flowmaster setup sitting at home, but the system sounds so good I hate to cut it off and replace it.
Maybe once the pipes give way I will...

Re: New Pictures of my 1988 IROC-Z
Funny, but I actually agree with you......car just seems too plain for some reason. The white is a little washed out looking, but too nice to repaint since its still original. Thinking about lowering it an inch and putting some nice wheels on it when the money is right.

Re: New Pictures of my 1988 IROC-Z
Went to Atco a couple weeks ago just to spectate. The weather was good and a friend had an extra helmet so I decided to make a few passes. I lowered the shift points to 4800 RPM and made a best pass of 14.48@94MPH. Was pretty happy with that considering it had no prep, plenty of fuel and 140k.
