CORRECTION. I have been told that I was misinformed. This is a 5.0L 305ci 215hp and 275tq engine. NOT A 5.7.

I was six years old, my neighbours dad bought him one for his sixteenth birthday, it was blue, I’ll never forget that car.

I lived in this era. I was 18 yrs old just out of HS when the 1982 z28 dropped. It was a dream for me. Long story short, I ended up with a fully loaded slick top automatic red on silver in November of '82. yes sure it was the slowest and lowest-rated HP z28 ever produced but I was a kid and I did not think about those things. It looked and sounded fast and mean, that was what mattered to us in 1982. Good ole days. I am getting so old ugh. I remember the IROC coming out in '85 and I wanted it so bad but I kept what I had and I really had many a good year in it. Kept it mint and it was a head-turner for many years. A very nice example of an IROC you have here.

The best Camaro generation ever produced. 1982-1992.

Back in my early 20's I had an 85 IROC. Loved it. Recently I bought a 1991 Z-28. 350 with automatic is strong. Reliving my youth.

25 years ago I was the youngest guy at my new manufacturing job. We had our Christmas party at a fancy restaurant. My buddy had a ROC just like this one and he let me and my date use it. I pulled up with my girl in front of everyone and looked and felt like a Rock Star. 😎

One of the coolest cars ever made if you ask me. I love their sound. I had an 89 5.7L 350 TPI with t tops. 4 speed auto transmission was a turd but all the power was there and it sure was fun just to slow cruise around while it rumbled. Mine was white with tan interior. Just gorgeous. Lost a T-Top that didnt latch right once though and it just broke my heart. I eventually sold it trying to be responsible. That was stupid.

I have the same car with the 5.7 and 13,000 miles. After driving the car , you realize how far along suspension has come. But the car is so fun to drive.

I STILL want a 1985 Camaro... that era Camaro is sooo BEAUTIFUL 😍

These were so underappreciated ... not anymore its Iroc Time! Their value has gone up big time

I had an 89. I’d take that over the overpriced garbage of today.

Iroc Z Camaros > Any other Camaro

I would love to drive one around my town wearing 80's gear . So cool.

Had four of these camaros now I'm 50 years old and looking to get another one.

Those things are so cool. They handle great and are so perfect encapsulation of the 80's style

Bruh ur driving one sweet piece of machinery ... awsome car and manual... wow. T-tops is a must!!

I bought a brand new 86 iroc 305 5 sp after being discharged (honorable 😅) from the the army in 86 Savannah Ga. Brought it to southern California in 89 and it got stolen shortly after. I really miss that car.

I was 11 and my older brother had this one. Same color. Great ride.

Very nice ride. I have an 1989 with the L98. It is interesting to see your take as you get out of an Older Mustang into an Iroc. You got yourself a sub.

I had a 88' IROC convertible, and foolishly sold it. I loved getting knocked back in my seat, and I can still smell that interior. My aunt had a few brand new ones as she'd trade them in every year. This was an awesome car! Chevy should bring it back even if they no longer have the IROC rights.

Absolutely love those cars.

My best friend in high school got this exact car as his first. We would cruise in that thing blaring creed and loving life (as you do when close to death, and you're always close to death in an old Camaro). So many memories. So many close brushes.

I have a 4th gen LS1/T56 Camaro SS and its a blast to drive!

Takes me back to 1989 when I first drove an '85 Z-28.

It's a 5.0 with a spd

I was an 80's kid born in 1973, the IROC Z was then & still is my unicorn, one day I will hopefully be able to get one in similar condition as yours...

I remember, my sister traded her ‘85 300zx for a white ‘88 iroc, she kept it until ‘92 when hurricane andrew flipped it

like a go cart that sounds cool

The mullet missile 😂

I had an Iroc just like that! I miss it!

That is super clean

Great channel ! Loved the video

"we got rock n roll music, blastin' out the t-tops"

My first car was an 84 z28. Looked and sounded way better than it ran lol. Fox bodys consistantly blew my doors off.

I rode in an '85 Z28 about 25 years ago. It was fast!

I had a 1989... let's see 👀 typical sloppy seat belt lol and cigarette lighter ready to fall out as your driving 🤣 I do miss that car.

I love them cars and want one with a 5 speed .

Just love these cars

Suspension broken, seems like a rough ride?

Had an 89 iroc , 90 formula , 85 firebird, now a fourth gen......yeah, i kinda like F-body's 👍

anyone know what are the differences between the 1984 z28 from the 1984 sports coupe? I just bought it and can't find enough information anywhere

Remember these as LHD imports.....they looked great then and still do.

I drove 1 with a 5 speed and it was a good time

Beautiful car

Miss my 91 formula. 5.0 auto

I’m 18 I have a 1989 z28 iroc camaro burgundy w/ t top bags mines an automatic tho and mines a pop off race wheel

Nicest camaros ever built in my eyes

I wish it had the original delco radio with the built in 5 band EQ and AM Stereo radio; nevertheless nice car!

I'm an Iroc guy too! Love these cars! I reatore them!

the Z28 TPI 5.0 engine with a 5 speed went all the way up to 235 HP and 295 torque the 5.7 was only available in 700R4 and only made 240 HP and 350 torque an easy upgrade for these cars to handle power is install the TKX T5 manual good for 600 FT/LB torque and is a bolt in replacement for the T5 which in only good for 300 FT/LB torque

Sick arm band tattoo brooooo

To settle the engine size debate.... Look in the sticker located inside the hood....tells the engine size OR. LOOK AT THE RPO CODE SHEET located on the inside of the center console glove box....

I miss my Z28's and my mullet 😪

WOW NICE NICE car ! very nice !

yup, currently got an 88 Iroc-Z 305tbi 5-speed, and also had a 92 350tpi 700R4 G92 high wing spoiler, Black on grey interior-that was totaled by a girl texting coming off the freeway about 55mph...

I feel like the 3rd gen IROC/Z28 was the Ferrari of the 80s.

1 way to gain interactions and views is to mention stats that aren’t correct, haha. I cruised the comments before watching the video. Anyway, I had 1 of these, it was a fun car. Thanks for the drive down memory lane.

I had an 83 Z28 with Ttops loved/hated that car. Loved it because it was a so much fun Hated because it had a very moody Crossfire 305 in it.

No, it's a 305 TPI or HO... Unless you modified the crap out of them, you couldn't get a stock 5.7 TPI teamed with a stock 5 speed... The cars then would be able to compete with the Corvette of the time, with the advantage actually going to the less expensive IROC, believe it or not... GM wasn't about to go for that!

I need a mullet in my life !

Riddle me this boy wonder. You obviously are driving a manual 5 speed in an 87' IROC Z28 now you didn't say that the car has a swapped engine. So with that all 5.7 350cu IROC Z28 came only in automatic transmissions not one of them even if you wanted to special order it came with a 5 speed. Only the 5.0l 305cu engines came with the 5 speeds

I love the irocs they are acc really cheap in Canada haha

I miss my z/28

Is it for sale?If so where is it and how much?

Nice

Thought the 5-speed only came in a 305 not a 350 5.7

Did he say taking the ttops off seems like a lot of work? 😂😂😂😂😂

The 1987 IROC did not come standard with a 5 spd. behind the behind the 5.7 liter. The 5 spd. only came behind the 5 liter. I owned one with the 5 spd. and the 5 liter.

Owner forgot those cheesy box dubs and speakers from pepboys

I think this used to be my old iroc i miss it!!!!!!!!!!!!🤔

I NEED THIS CAR

Is this car for sell and where ?

So it's got a steering wheel, it's got seats a shifter and a tonneau roll bar! Wow some good selling points there! Oh yeah and it has reverse!! Good stuff bro!!

Dude. Love these. Host aint half bad either ;)

3:50 Blue Toyota Corolla thought you were racing...Corolla owner "wheres the Nos button"?

I got a 84 Z 28 I got rid of the 305 and put in a 383 stocker with 550hp positive rear end I removed the converter daul exhaust real fun to drive

Is it for sale how much

Well at least he seen his huge mistake. & just a FYI. They never came factory with strut tower braces. I hate mis leading videos. It’s not stock when you have add on’s 😢

See how easy it is to see out of?

G92 package ?

Why does everyone slam the hatch on these things? It's not a trunk

You drove a Miata and wanted to put the t-tops down....please stop! 😂

UH, the 5.7 liter did not have a 5-spd attached from factory...it's a 5.0 liter.

Ok, the 5 speed tells me 305 TBI, but the motor at the end tells me 350 TPI lol. Looks like they converted to 5 speed or dropped a 350 in it.

cant be stock.. GM didnt make a 5.7L T top manual vehicle.

That 305 does not have that amount of torque. The 350 does but that is a 5 spd and they only come with 5.0 witch produces 290 ftlbs.

That one sounds like it needs shocks

5.7 with 5speed was never available

Hey Einstein, there were no L98/T5 cars. What you’re driving is either an LB9 car, or an L98 with a stick swapped in.

I cringed when you slammed the hatch - set it down gently, press till it clicks and let the power motor pull it down. This is why a lot of them are broken, slamming it like an old school trunk. Nice car.

I hope to God that that thing is not a pissy automatic. I prefer a third pedal and a stick please

They didn't put a 225hp with a five speed so it's probably the 180hp 305 car

Its style ....somethings thats almost lost now. Look around ...Suvs & economy cars everywhere

✊😫 AMERICA FUCK YEAH !

With hp of a fiat, and safety of lada.

Hope someone else put that 350 in there because u can’t get a 5.7 with a stick....

My dad used to own a z28 he crashed it :(

I liked the looks of these cars. But what I didn`t like was the ride quality or that everytime you hit a bump it sounded like a box of bolts rattling in the doors like a cheap pos.

Not an LT motor

That seatbelt looks draped over your shoulder
