@Retro_Afterglow yeah you would take those cars and get your ass whooped by a properly built and tune boat of a 5gen I promise you.that much. You’re definitely in titled to your opinion as I am to mine my car has over 100000 miles on it and it doesn’t rattle and the leather interior is definitely not a cheap touch. So if you knew anything about a 5th gen they are definitely not slow that 5th gen was going against built cars and it was stock and they were not putting buses on it. So to me your reply is based in bias opinion and not fact sir
They sure are getting popular lately. There's a lot of parts available, and an LS just slides right in. GM offers LS Crates, and wiring harnesses ready to go. I think a T56 fits without changing the transmission tunnel. Done right they look fantastic.
What up Buckwheat! Yeah I used to work at a scrapyard and while I was fixing a rag tag PT Loser ahem I mean "Cruiser", a guy drove in an 88 iroc. Ttops, 5.7, and loaded. I watched the guy get paid and leave. Dude, my boss had a guy coming to crush the car the next day cuz he didn't want to do anything with it. I literally ran in front of the big Volvo Front loader and stopped the guy from picking her up and bought the car from my boss. Next day, I drove the car 16 miles from my job to home with her stalling out at idle in gear. I looked like a jackass. Ttops off, Def Leppard cassette barley audible, gravity defying worn out shocks, a leaking exhaust system but dude, I floored her. She had no balls on take off, found second and the ass nearly came completely around. Best fun I've ever had!
@@sunsetcustoms1521 I also have an 82' berlinetta. I've had it since new and like the owner it has seen better days but when the light is right you can still see that sleek silhouette hiding under the faded paint and rust. It is beautiful design.
Great vid. Nice to see some 3rd gens tearing up the streets. I have an 88 iroc. She's in the middle of a resto. Repairing some body rust now. Want to do a complete upgrade but will have to do it in stages. First stage is beefing up brakes and suspension and adding subframe connectors. Im not concerned with big hp numbers, I want to build a modest 300 hp tpi L98 iroc that can take a turn like a cts-v or an m5. I want to try autocross and figure this is a great car to start with.
Definitely will. Caught a snag and had to tear down my stand alone garage. Now waiting to build a new one and trying to finish my '63 galaxie and '99 suburban which are simpler jobs. I really want to take my time with the ROC cuz it's my first third gen and I'm in uncharted waters doing some of this stuff. I've repaired cars for years but never really modified or fabricated anything. Once the new garage goes up, the ROC will be inside and the resto will continue and I'll chronicle the entire build. Will be finishing up my t-top repair first then move onto addressing rest of body repairs and priming and lots and lots of sanding. Once a few minor body repairs are completed, I'll get to the brakes and fun yet outdated suspension. See what we can find in tubular control arms. I might be shooting a short intro video in a week to show the car in her current state and talk about what's going to be getting fixed and upgraded. If you want to check out a nice autocross third gen, check out spectro racing on RUclips. Look for Mo's Camaro Chimera. Nice little '92 RS that's going to be getting a beastly cts-v LSA!!!
Punchy Guido Sweet man looks like you really did save it! I basically did same with mine and each year I upgraded something, 3.73 ratio in the rear one year was great for more launch but top end sucks now, did nice 3 inch flowmaster exhaust and it made it sound more righteous also blew up tranny like 4 times in 10 year span so I got one from maddog transmission website was worth every penny I went with the stage 2 and I need to make a vid how she drives cause it is pretty wicked now far from when I first got the car
Punchy Guido I got a few old ones on here of it just none really recent been to busy with work But yeah it is pretty sick now just still far from mint I wish it was, previous owners ran it in the ground! like you saved one I found it being parted and about to be scrapped basically was junk yard bound till me I also have an 86 non Z28 and a 91RS with a 5 speed just love these cars man! I have vids on all them
I love to surprise people. My 99 Silverado 1500 5.3 with cold air intake, off road y pipe, no cats, magna flow muffler, corvette 2-3 servo and a diablo tune smoked a 2016 ram 5.7 that got the jump.
Well I bet someone feels stupid for this comment lmao. Fact is these older model camaros were made better and to actually last. Weight in any performance car is a major factor, I'm pretty sure most of the negative comments are from new generation camaro owners who have either lost to an older gen camaro like this one or mad seeing an old car like this still perform as good.
its all about that power to weight.. got a 3300LB car vs a 3800LB car.. actually could be less, being engine swap cars the upgraded tubular front ends guys put in third gens save about 50 lbs, plus other modern upgrades.. could probably call it a 3200lb car.
It's about older cars did it better, the new Camaros have to line themselves to the hilt in luxury and technology, the older cars had FI computers that were outperformed by Gameboys, the HVAC system controls were just little levers with a knob to control fan speed! Dashboard glove box?? Don't need one!! Everything in an older Camaro can be replaced or swapped no problem, in fact it's one of the few cars people are willing to mess with the fuel injection on, since there's so many options for aftermarket intakes, and SBCs are CHEAP!
well that's good news for me... I have a 87 Z/28 wich needed a new suspension so it got an IROC suspension and rims and ZR rated tires, makes a huge difference handling having those thick low profile side walls. The biggest thing I noticed is the weight of the rear trunk, i know you can get a fiberglass one with a small rear window like the C5 zo6 had. but It'd be nice to see a full plexi glass option for the rear window.
Damn that 454 is just on a another planet with it. I have a 85 Z, 94 Z, 15 SS and love them all equally. We won’t talk about the 98 Slobra I bought just to get dusted by them all weekly.
Pretty sure he was referring to the 87 camaro. Either way in my opinion the 87 iroc is not only better looking in style but was obviously built better and to last.
The Iroc-z 80s camaro looks great. I like more the 70sand the Z28 variants. Usually with a Chevy 350 block able to go was above the 1000 hp mark. Then we have the classics of the lates 60s that are also legendary and nice. But don't get me wrong at all. I love the new Camaros too, a lot.
Im watching this video 10x a day until my 87’ z28 350 gets back on the road. Everything on it is caught up to speed all i need is a new intake and my headers. No mercy for any new gen lol. 350 gonna scream again soon🃏🏎️💨
I still have my 88 I ROC tucked away for the winter Months. I went with a 383 Stroker Balanced, & blueprinted it has the L98 TPI. I CAN'T WAIT TILL SPRING... AND I JUST PUT IT AWAY. The car is fast & fun mines RED.Beautiful Car...
Agreed, The new ones are one of the ugliest vehicles ive ever seen. Chirst you can buy a good condition 1st gen and still have money left over for the cost of a new one.
I agree with RuuFiss. Chevy kept all the styling cues of the third gen and angled it all back for a slicker, more bullet shaped look like that of their Australian counterparts. While I'm not rocked on the '93-'97 Camaros, the white and orange heritage edition is pretty sick looking. Now '98-'02 with the flush headlight and more defined body, that's aggressive. Granted the ws6 ram air TAs are downright evil looking, I can't deny the coolness of an '02 SS.
Where those 3rd gens using the TPI intake or where they carbureted or not even using the stock engines? People knock the TPI intake but I am sure if you build your engine and tune your gearing around where it makes it's torque, it can keep up with if not nearly smoke anything newer, depending upon how you drive it.
If I was the guy in 2015 SS CAMARO I would have drove it to dealer n traded it in or stop n get a for sale sign at a parts store and start looking for a third Gen
I love these 3rd gen Camaros, they look badass. The horsepower was crappy but they made up for it in the torque department, specially the 84 lol, 150 hp but 330 foot lb. It was almost like driving an electric car very very quiet but steadily laid you in the seat and just creeps and creeps jumping by 10's quickly lol. Jumping by 10's i mean at the speedometer lol jumping 10 20 30 40 60 80 100 lol, my 84 i had was awesome
Your specs are wrong the only iroc that had that kinda torque was 350 tpi with 245 hp with 330 lbs.. if your maro only has 150 hp then the model u have only has around 255 lbs if torque sir .
drunkninja1986 Why didn't it? A stock 2015 ss should put high 300's to the wheel, if the third gen was 420 wheel combined with the the fact it's much lighter I think his is pretty accurate.

3rd gen hands down best looking camaro
Yes
I know this is a year later but this is very true and will probably always be true
Idk man I gotta go with gen 1
Idk if it’s the best looking, gen 1 is really nice, gen 2s are nice too, and gen 5 on top of that
gen 2
The old Camaro looks so much better!!!
Got that right!😎
Not hardly, maybe a second gen, but 3rd and 4th look like cheap garbage.

Iroc body style all the way!
Those irocs in this video are super built up. No way they beat an ss like that stock
