While the Pontiac division was doing special packages on the Firebird, the Camaro was also getting its own special treatment. The IROC-Z was a stellar vehicle with a lot going for it, and it became synonymous with the ’80s and ’90s. The car was named after the International Race of Champions and was separate from the Z/28 in a lot of aspects. A ground effects treatment and a spoiler gave the IROC-Z its own unique identity.

The base motor put out 210 horsepower at 4,400 rpm and 285 foot-pounds of torque at 3,200 rpm. This was more than adequate power at the time, but you could upgrade it further. Very rarely, some IROC-Z models didn’t feature T-Tops. You could also get a convertible IROC-Z later in the production cycle.
