Very sorry to hear that man.
They can be straightened... but the costs can be as high as 3 times the cost of a new IROC. If it's not too bad, go for it. If it's horrible though, I would say start looking for a new one and use this one as a parts car. I'm sure you can find a decent roller for an equal price, if the engine is still good.

Depending on the condition of your car, and how bad the wreck is, it may be true that buying a new z is cheaper.
The cars are not hard to fix, or any more expensive than any other car to repair. However, these cars are pretty cheap. Dont go out and start looking for a new car if its just a fender bender or something, even a little frame work doesn't justify buying a new car necessarily. But if you think the price to fix it is high, and you find a car you'd rather have for a low enough price, maybe it's time to say good bye.
But to answer the question of whether or not it can be repaired, any car can be fixed. Theres nothing that makes this car any different. And used parts are found easily and cheaply.

Re: Can an IROC be straightened?
Wow, I would be an extremely angry person if someone stole my car. If I saw it happen, I would sprint after them and do whatever I could to stop them, including stand in their path. Frustrating how people have no respect and are to worthless to get their own stuff. I feel for you, thats a bad situation. Looks like your question already got answered
