what makes the IROC Z's different than the Z-28 of the same year. or just tell me what makes a Camaro turn into an IROC other than some decals and a few choice engine options. was there any special suspension peices brake packages or other upgrades interior or exterior from the V8 RS's any info you all can share will be greatly appreciated

 

The new IROC-Z option was available on the Z28 and came with new 16x8
aluminum wheels, P245/50VR-16 Goodyear Gatorback tires, fog lamps,
CAMARO on front license plate panel, .5 inch lowered ride height,
body colored valances, Delco-Bilstein rear gas shocks, special front
struts, increased spring rates, special jounce bumpers, 5 degrees of
caster (up from 3.5 on Z28) in front wheel alignment, `wonderbar' front
frame rail stiffener, special valving in steering for increased steering
effort, larger rear stabilizer bar with stiffer bushings, IROC-Z ex-
terior decals and interior dash badge, and a thinner two-color lower
body stripe.

 

Do a search. Topic has been up many times before.

 

sorry i tried the search but came up with hours of reading and still no straight answers ....... but thank you all for your information.. the second post was the most informative that i have come across

 

Take a look at the tech articles on the first page of this website, in one of them it explains the differences year by year.

Generally it was an appearance and suspension/handling package. It shared engine choices with the Z28 (also had an L03 choice at one time) and was the top of the line model in all years it was made.
