Also, were they available before 85?

Was it specifically an IROC thing to begin with?

Threadjack for educational purposes-

Since I didn't follow IROC until the 90's- Did the actual IROC cars in the series back in the 80s have anything really in common with the street Camaros (besides the Chevy logo?)?

Was the Wonderbar really a "Race-inspired" item?

I'd imagine so, since the factory race car was the 1LE. The boys in the History forum would know more.

No. BandAid for the IROC's 16-inch wheels and their effect on the steering box area.

All of the above...

However you can stick one right onto your 84 Bird, and it will work just as well on that car, as on the ones that DID get it from the factory.
