I've watched this video so many times. Still one of the best Thirdgen videos on KZfaq

I love 80s Camaros . They dont always get the love they deserve.

What a classic vid. Watch it every now and then to get pumped on third gens

I remember watching this when it came out and had a 89 third gen. Crazy I was 25 going on 35. How time flies

I watched this video back in my college days and fell in love with 3rd gens. I've now had my 92 Camaro for 9 years.

Love 3rd gens

I love everything about your camaro. Mine is still on jackstands

watched this video a million times bc 1) I love 3rd gens and 2) I'm building mine so I get amped up lol

The Hotchkis springs are a very happy medium for comfort and sport.

I am definitely a mustang guy, but I respect this car, and would drive the shit out of it.

these cars are underrated! They definitely deserve more respect than what is given to them! Anyone that ever rode in mine even the hard-core mustang guys have been surprised at the all around performance of the 3rd Gen f-bodies

8 years later and I love this car still, Ive based this car to build my own off of for the last 4 years. I did qa1 suspension all around and just put in a simple 327 that screams up to 8750!

definitely the best looking early model Camaro

People always focus on hp numbers, but never stop to consider how much torque these old motors cranked out. Almost always 80-100lbs of tq more than hp. So i would be willing to bet that this particular iroc is making close to 400lbs tq, probably 370-390lbs tq. Lots of fun.

This video has some of the best footage and presentation Ive ever seen. The third gen world loves this.

Wtf is he talking about this is bad ass car this car looks so kick ass

I've owned 6 Camaros over the last 40 years or so. As an eight year old I remember seeing my first Camaro in '68, at that point I knew that was the car I was going to drive someday. The first one I wanted, a butternut yellow with black vinyl top '67 in '75, didn't get it by the way. My first was actually a '74 LT I bought in '77. From then on I was hooked. I got my first brand new Camaro in '83, I ordered an '84 Z28 from a local dealer. They didn't have one I liked on the lot. It was a charcoal gray metallic, gray interior, 5.0 liter, 190 HP, 5 speed, JL8 4 wheel disc, posi rear beast. After 5 long agonizing weeks I got the call it was in. I went and picked it up, drove to the nearest gas station, it only had about enough gas to get there not the 30 miles to get it home, no full tanks back then. I hit the open highway rowing through the gears, shifting from 2nd to 3rd I already had the speedo buried, 85 mph back then, I knew this car was going to be fun to drive. :)

Bad Ass 3RD GEN!

Props to this guy for one of the first 3rd Gen serious builds, on KZfaq anyhow.

Amen on the t-tops

hail to the 3rd gens

I have a 1988 iroc-z and only pay $40 a month for full coverage at State Farm

Love the cinematography! 80s muscle is where it’s at!

Those 3rd gens were some of the best street rod cars of all time. Easy to make a respectable performer for not much dough. I had 2 RS's and a Z in my teens and 20s. They sure were junky cars, but man they were fun!

It won't be a third gen camaro with out rattle and noise. It is its charm.great handler.and yes T-tops Rule.🤘👍💯

Thanks for sharing this video man, I love your channel, that z28 is definitely a cool ride. Cheap, fast, fun is what it's all about, and you don't see too many of those things in good condition any more

Thanks for doing a video on this car! I actually think the 3rd generation camaro's look awesome and there are not many that are built as well rounded as this car. Great Job!

What a fun car! A 350 with a T56 trans! And that thing looks light as well too.

Still the best 3rd Gen F-Body vid on KZfaq Jason.

Thanks for confirming my decision to buy one of these. I have the same philosophy as you. I think I'll go for the full LS-1 swap with a T-56, but I'm not going to spend more money than I need to in areas that I don't much care about (looks, reputation of year, etc). I'd like to be able to go to an autocross event then crack on some Porsches on the way home.

Just awesome to see people having a Camaro sounds great

Awsome car . Grew up in the 80s owned an 86 IRoc 81 Z28 70 split bumper and now have a 94 camaro. BADASS!

I recently did a short video of one of these Z-28's for sale, it was busted but these cars are so awesome looking. I love how simple you left the eterior, and good color choice, looks nice on that model. You so lucky to have open desert roads to fart around on, its a shame that you can't really enjoy these kind of cars in the Philadelphia region.

if it rattles your radio isnt loud enough..... or its too loud!! either way...

I have a 3rd gen Firebird. There is no car I would rather drive than it. Its balance when it come to handling is phenomenal. I love that car.

My favorite 3rd Gen video on here. I love the focus on the curves vs ET times at the strip.

This is your coolest car!

I love that car!! T-tops do rule!

The early 3rd gens look so much better then the 85 ‘s and up. The lower bumper and side skirts make it look goofy

i love my third gen thanks for showing the old camaros some love

Imo 3rd gen is the best looking camaro hands down.

I want to see it too. Show us the mods! Awesome stuff man.

The roll cage was about $80 of mild steel tubing and three nights after work. I borrowed a friends mandrel bender for the hoop but the rest was bent with a manual press bender in my garage. It's nothing fancy but better than nothing and did make the car noticeably more rigid.

Thanks for showing it

Just discovered your channel while looking for Z28 vids. Subbed. You deserve way more subscribers than you've got!

Man... I miss my 1988 IROC Z28.

I miss this car so much

I love you for not calling them rims like everyone else does.

I want to see an updated video if you have done anything else to it absolutely love this car

Here's how I rank the camaros (from a Chevy man myself)-- And don't hold me to the exact year/ these years are the couple years near it.....#1-1969....#2-1972....#3-2015....#4-1988....#5-1998

Have an 85 IROC and I have to say, these cars hold the road as well as any new car with very little mods. They are extremly fun to drive and you are always in control. Love em

I've owned nothing but Third gen camaros since i was 16. I'm 20 now and I'm currently on my fifth one, it's my third IROC so far. I've owned three IROC's and two Z's and i'll never stop driving a camaro, I'll die with a 4-speed under the palm of my hand.

I just bought a 3rd gen in rough shape. Maybe it will look like this one day lol

Jason, I would love for you to reunite with this Camaro some day, lol....

One of the nicest 3rd gens on youtube. I love the sound.

Finally someone who loves to have to drive and "man handle" the car to get it where they want it. That's what makes driving 92 chevy pickup so much fun. Not nearly as capable but more of a handle full there for funner to drive.

What flowmaster series do u have on it? It sounds really good, I been looking for a flowmaster for my 87 z28 under sure which one???

That is a bad ass car I love it I wish I can be 18 because I would buy that car

Hey Jason, congratulations on the 100k subscriptions!!! That's a huge milestone and absolutely could not happen to a more deserving motorhead!!!

I have three 3rd gens. 86 IROC, 92 RS and a 86 TA WS6. Love these cars.

How easy was it to match the 6 speed up to the 350? Did you need any aftermarket adapters?

"JIM"

It was the right call no doubt.

One of the coolest Third gen's I've ever seen... great job man!

Hey can i have your car >.< super sweet,,, how much did you actually put in it $$$

How the hell do you get only 290 HP from 5.7 liters?

saw this car in car craft and loved it. my first build was an 88 camaro that i built a 400hp 355 for. it did everything well, including the tightest donuts. it had 3.08s and a 700r4, i swear it would do 160! i will build another!

This video really sells you on a 3rd gen. Early model and everything! Rad

My first car was an 89 RS with the 305 - and this video really makes me miss it. It ran well, and gave me 38mpg ( yes, that's MILES PER GALLON) running from Barstow to Tulsa.

I wish you still had this car Jason. It would be fun seeing you work on it.

Had an ‘85 firebird. Still miss that car. I do love an IROC - the ultimate badass car from VHS action movies.

I want to see it and I'm glad you showed it. Thanks

Great ride! Camaro's are definitely my favorite car in the world. Especially third generation Camaros.

You're a man after my own heart! I have an 87 Firebird Formula, and I totally get ALL of the fun you speak of with the design and set up of that Camaro. The 80s F-Body's always had an A on the fun factor grade.

Love it love it love it 1982 z28 Camaro is where my love of Chevys began my uncle owned it two thumbs up!

Thanks for the video I have an 85 z28 the 3rd gens are way underrated

I love it! Had a 89 iroc 5.7 that I bought brand new in August of 89, drove it till 2006 when it was rear ended and totaled, miss that car.

4:48 Silver body, black rims, a Z28 badge.and a power station under the hood. What a beautiful way to be happy!

the 290/350 crate is a great motor for a budget build. low, pump gas friendly compression,(8.5) and you can use just about any intake system used on almost any small block chevy with very little work, and only about $2000. with the right intake and fuel delivery, you can expect more than the 290hp rating.

This video made me fall in love with my camaro all over again

Had an 86 Camaro with t-tops. Sorry I let it go. I do have an 86 Firebird without T-tops I know it's far from perfect, but I love it and hopefully will never get rid of it!

IMO, best Camaro ive ever seen

I can never get enough of the 3rd gen, awesome video and awesome car!

Watching this video brought back memories of my favorite car I have owned. I had a 1982 Z28 Indy Pace car. I wore out the original cross fire injected 305 and built a .060 over 4 bolt 350 with flat-top pistons and a competition cams cam. And I swapped that AWESOME (LOL) cross-fire injection set up for a Carter 4 barrel. It was sweet. Drove it for a total of 15 years and felt like I lost part of my soul when I sold it.

Miss my Z28😢 Thanks for for the video!

Jason became cool once he owened a 3rd gem camaro

I’ve watched this video like 20 times I love this car man!!

Great vid, love 3rd Gen's. "My" dream Camaro is a '92 Z28 with a modern type motor underneath, upgraded suspension, brakes, done. Unf.

I love hearing the sound pan from left to right on the video. very well done.

T Tops do indeed rule. I love the look and love the sound. I am envious of the beautiful stretch of road you have to drive that thing on.

Now that is a nice Turd gen. Props to the owner for keeping it so clean

"I pounded cars that cost waaay, waaaaaaaay more than this thing... and that's fun", lol. I love it!!!

The push button was fairly easy. Bought the button from one of the "tuner" websites for $20 and intercepted the starter wires from the key and the clutch safety switch and done!

I love it. All of it. Third Gens RULE

That is such a cool car man!!! That’s my dream 80’s camaro!🤤

I don't know what fantasy world you live in but good luck with all of that...some of us like to work on our cars and that is a big part of the fun.

My fourth one was an '87 IROC-Z with the 5.7, that cost me $500. and my Fifth one which is the one i currently own and is my daily driver is yet another 1987 IROC-Z 5.0. this is the nicest one ive owned so far, absolutely GORGEOUS car. I got this one for $2,000. it is in fantastic shape, paint is great, the interior is damn near perfect condition. Just keep your eyes out and look on your local Craigslist. That is where i've gotten all of my camaros. good luck to you, man!!

what a great ride! thanks for sharing.

Nice vid, and nice car. Your modest about your car, and your into it to have fun... Your a TRUE car guy!

Best review so far
