Me and my bro just smoked a 85 IROC-Z


In my old mans 95 K1500 Chevy. 350 Carb, Accel Plugs-Wires, Holly Carb.



Rolling down mainstreet, He decideds to burp us.


Bad idea. Bro Drops neutral, Gives it a 5 grand rev.


He launches and we launch, we had him about 3/4 car lenght to the stop sign.


He rolls down the window, I yell, 350?

He says Hell yeah.


Good race, But a sad IROC.

 

how is it a sad day for thirdgens.

 

because that same k1500 can beat a turbo hondaclipse also

 

Yea, totally a sad day. I'm pretty sure I'm selling mine.

 

haha... me too. Try and race me next time. Ill handle you bro... haha

 

.... and how much HP/ torque did that truck come with stock ? vs IROC' 240HP/320lb ( could be wrong on the numbers)

 

Well a 350 isn't a stock motor for an 85 Iroc..so who knows how bad that motor was...

Not to mention you didn't say how far you raced.

 

There were no OE 350's in an 85 IROC. Originally, my 85 IROC was an LG4 with 155 hp. The L69 had 190 and the LB9, 215. So, "IF" the IROC was in truth a 305 and only got beat by 3/4s of a length, I'd say that wasn't so sad.

Sorry, typo, meant to type isn't

 

Eh, It kinda blows that a k1500 won against an iroc.


Full size truck > mid size sports car.

 

Given that thirdgens are generally pretty anemic where horse power is concerned, I'm not surprised at a 20-year-old newer truck with a 350 would win (though if the IROC was only a 305, the truck really didn't perform that well, IMO). Thirdgens were kickass on the skidpad and slaloms and few full-sized trucks, then or now, could provide much competition.

So how far was this race?

 

im going to call bullshit on this the same as your thread where you beat the boosted civic which was really an eclipse in your 2.8 firebird

 

LOL ....i believe it

 

lol, yeah, this thread is

 

but i want to believe

 

If your bro keeps doing 5grand neutral drops on that 4L60 he won't be passing anyone for long.

yea he did a 5 grand neutral bomb, it was an 85 iroc with a 350, AND after the camaro lost he wouldnt be saying hell yea its a 350 after losing to a truck. i beat my buddys 94 silverado with a 350 TBI in my LO3 camaro. it doesnt add up dude

 

Most of his posts don't lol

 

idk about that.....i had an 86 iroc 350 and my buddy has the same truck exept its a 96 and he DIDNT STAND A CHANCE when we would mess around so that 350 must have been running like dog s*#t.....or you've got a factory freak

 

No OE 350's in 86.

JamesC

 

Well, he put a carb on a '95, so who knows what else its got.....

 

3/4 car length @ ??mph = getting smoked?

 

I call BS on this one. I have a buddy with the same kind of truck and i whip him all the time with my 305 IROC. and i havent really even done mods to it just EFI to carb. just my

 

my 305tpi with full exhuast and 3.73s can smoke my dads 2wd 5.3 LM7=ls1 type motor from a dig......sooooo i dont think so mann..it was proli a v6 thirdgen lol nice bs'ing

 

kinda funny op stops talking when everyone starts calling bs

 

I'm also calling BS because I know that my 89 formy from a dig would not get traction through first but when it grabbed, it would pull on a trail blazer ss. I am saying either BS or the third gen was a 2.8 that was in bad tune. Hell, my 2.8 fiero with a 5 speed would kill a k1500 truck and I have raced the two cars next to each other and my bird's little 350 tpi wastes the fiero by about 10 to 12 car lengths in the quarter mile!

 

Your threads always seem to fail.

 

HAHAHAHA you remember that? I had to show him what a civic even was...

I'm sorry bro, but you should really just stop posting your bs race stories.. You already set your reputation. Make a new account, start over. lol

 

oh ya, a thread that epic isnt soon forgotten.

 

My stock gta just pulls on my 08 gmc, and it has an lq9, almost 400hp. weight makes a big difference. The truck is like 6k lb, the gta is 3.5k lb and I was in the gmc and my wife was in the gta, I drive better, both autos. I’d say bs

 

5K neutral drop... wow that tranny is going to be dead soon. As far as i'm concerned it was probably the kid screwin with you by saying Sarcastically "hell yea".... O and your bros an idiot for doing a neutral drop.... Only dumbasses do that..... But hey want to kill the tranny go for it....

 

Hey I see your from Michigan. So why dont you and your brother bring daddy's lil truck down to Martin, Michigan and me and your daddys truck along with 4 of my other thirdgen buddys (3 happen to be IROC's) will run the quarter and see who really talks bs then.. Ive seen you bs posts over and over, enough with it. (ive even got a friend with a 350 TBI 93 K1500 mainly stock that said he'd race you)

 

LQ9 is not even close to 400 hp and the TQ Management turns it into a SLUG. The torquey TPI engines will easily jump that truck.

I have a 5.7 TPI in my Chevrolet Van. 0-60 in under 7 seconds at 6,000 lbs.

I really doubt a stockish 95 Chevrolet K1500 can take my heavy fullsize van, much less a TPI F-body.

Hell my 4.7 powered Dodge Ram Quad Cab has out-run a few RCSB 5.7 TBI trucks at the track and it was a DOG.

 

I doubt the IROC in question was actually a 350; people constantly are fooled when buying second hand 305 equipped cars since they don't check block serial numbers and visually they look the same.

 

Ill admit it happened to me, had never owned a third gen before, none the less even looked into them, found my T/A online guy wanted to trade for my other car, looked under the hood said to myself ok its got a 350... got it home and nope 305 haha..

 

That is true. Alot of people from my area think that all IROC's came with the 350. My old man picked up a 88 iroc years ago with a 350 and he claimed that all iroc's with the 350 where all LT1 350 engines.

 

too bad they didnt do 350s in irocs in 85! not till 87...

 

that was him? LMAO ahahahaahhahahah i remember that thread ****ing funny

Im still trying to figure out how he knows the year when the camaro driver said 2 words...???

 

if he knows about thirdgens, doesn't sound like he does, it wouldn't have a third brake light, so if its an iroc it would have to be an 85

 

It's possible that someone swapped one in. In 24 years of ownership, someone along the line could have swapped in a 350. My bet is that someone told him when they sold him the car it was a 350 since that sounds sooo much better for resale.
