Define baddest.To me,86 was the worst year for the iroc due to the peanut cam.The LB9s were slower than the 85 models.I would have to agree with gato about the 92.They just got better every year.92 was supposed to be the best due to more glue and adhesive used in the interior that reduced creaks and rattles.I also really like the 85s because of the lack of the 3rd brake light.It looks so clean from behind without that g o d awful thing.

Everything about the 91-92 z28 from the 5.7 engine to the Hi-Rise spoiler to the awesome ground effects to the excellent new dash. Oh forget itI'll just post a pic of the baddest thirdgen and let you judge.

Im not to keen on what little things changed between the years but i love the irocs they have my vote. Sometimes i wished i would have bought a iroc-z instead of my bird. My ultimate iroc would be all black inside and out with dark tinted windows and a set of chrome 18" iroc wheels amd lowered.

I'd say the baddest is a stripped down, lean and mean L69 HO. Or the 1LE factory race car
