Hello all,
Just joined. I have a question or two about my car. I searched the forums, but didn't come up with any specific answers I didn't already have.
I have a 1989 G92 option L98 5.7 IROC Z28
I know they built a decent number of 5.7 3rd gen cars somewhat, and I also know they built 1426 G92 option cars in 1989.
I also have researched and found datasheets on all specs.
BUT...
My actual question is this, out of the 1,426 G92 option cars built in 1989, exactly how many of them were L98 5.7 cars, and out of that number, how many were actually L98 5.7 IROCS? Looking for a year specific, model specific, and engine specific number... does that actually exist?
Any help would be appreciated.
This is my car

"does that actually exist?"

Short answer - No.

No one really kept track of option combinations. The only numbers that break things down that specific are Compnine numbers derived from rpo lists in the GM dealer database. The database only applies to late thirdgens and some export cars, and it's debatable how accurate they are.

No one knows, but I'll give you my guess: 300-400 LB9, 5 speed G92s and 1000 -1100 L98, auto G92s.

Just my guess....

I may have misunderstood your question...but EVERY L98 Camaro was an IROC in 1989. The L98 wasn’t available in any other Camaro trim package.

Random vaguely related question, were there any single cat 89 G92s? Years ago during cash for clunkers my dealership took in a 89 G92 I'm remembering as having a single cat.

Yes. The N10 started production around Jan 1989.

Thanks, I did get the SPID off the car at that time but don't remember where I put it!

I hope you were able to get more than that off it......

daveb123

I wish! I actually misspoke earlier, it was at the dealership next door to mine, I tried to intervene but the VIN had already gone into the CFC system, and the management there wasn't too keen on the idea of the car becoming "lost" or "mysteriously disappearing" It was very frustrating to see the car get sucked into that system.

It infuriates me to think about how many desirable cars were destroyed in that stupid program.

daveb123

Yeah me too, every so often I'll remember the list of cars sacrificed to that asinine program, 3 gens, GNs, etc. Just sickening. BTW, is that an SS in the garage pic of your 87 vert?

chazman

It is!

daveb123

Cool! Keeping it 3rd gen related, here's mine.

Excellent!

Mine's a '15 six speed manual. It was hard to find a stick and had to go to a dealer out of state. It's my daily driver, rain or shine or snow. People have been telling me to stop driving it lately. I tell them I already have a garage full of cars I don't drive.

daveb123

That's almost my exact story! It's a '17 6MT, found it in Phoenix, flew in and drove it home. Absolute daily driver, no snow here, but I did drive it through the outer bands of Harvey, solid as a rock! The longest I've lasted intentionally driving my other cars is two weeks! (and I did sneak over and drive it on the Saturday in between)

BTW, did you buy your '82 from a guy in Wisconsin?

daveb123

No, my former brother-in-law ordered it new here in Austin, not too many M24/J65 cars on the lot at the time. I've owned it since 1991.
