turbo iroc

after reading this tread https://www.thirdgen.org/techbb2/sho...hreadid=185632 I decided to do a quick photoshop to put the turbo iroc together. I love the look of this car, I wish they would have made this car and someone to sell all the aftermarket parts to make one.

Looks like it's got a notchback... if so, it's the first I've ever seen on a Camaro that I liked. Schweet ride!

The front gfx seems to be at an angle... looks nice and agressive.

Wow I didnt know about that. I think its sweet!! Good looks and a turbo 6 under the hood. That would have been a badass 3rd gen. After reading everything about it I dont think anyone makes those GFX. Its possible to take the pictures to someone and have them try to replicate then GFX, but sounds like it was a one-of concept design.

that would be more than just gfx. that would be an all new custom front bumper. on that one, the front continues to slope outward below the headlight buckets, while on a normal iroc, it slopes slightly inward before the gfx slope back out.

i do think it looks awesome and i'd give a big to anyone that pulled it off. just imagine, that front end, combined with this rear end would be the baddest looking third gen in the world

haha every time someone posts a pic of the Camaro Legends Tour IROC, someone says that the trunk can't be opened.

The hatch glass is on a hinge, so you just open the glass

I don't like the look of the "Turbo IROC" but the turbo looks nice

I don't really like how the front end is more shovel nosed than stock. I still think it looks cool none the less.

I really like the front end on that turbo Iroc. And that legends Camaro is just unbelievable. Its awesome.

The Turbo Iroc front-end reminds me of the Dodge/PPG Turbo Interceptor front end. I don't know why, it just reminds me of it.

I think it looks ugly, maybe if I saw it in person I might change my mind, but from that pic, I'd rather keep my stock bumper

The Legends Camaro rear end looks way over done, to big, to gaudy, no thanks. Kind of clever how the glass opens up though.

The tail lights are sweet though. VERY nice and to me, they redeem the whole rear end. I think the wing is well done, if a bit large.

I don't think there's much to redeem. I like the rear end. The taillights look great, I like the relocated license plate, I like the little exhaust cutouts in the bumper, and the wing looks like its only a little higher than a Z28 high rise spoiler. It just doesn't have the middle supports. It also has rear side marker lights (usually only on Firebirds) which I think look good. But thats my opinion

Does a company produce the rear on that red camaro? That wing reminds me a lot of the Ferrari F-40.

of the first pick if the front gfx were a little more vertical it would be PERFECT. With the notch back, turbo v6, and the over all design of the car it is a mesh between a camaro and a grand national two of my favourite cars ever.

Looks like darth vader......

sorry... don't really like it at all.

To me it looks like the lower front nose was actually put on over the original. It looks like it is not one single piece... (granted, I am at work and the resolution on this monitor leaves a lot to be desired...)

I emailed Turbo for a back issue but they have yet to respond back. Also, they do not answer the phone! It would be a cool magazine to have too.

I kinda like the front, it looks good flush like that.

Flush is good, but I think it needs a little design tweaking
