IROC-Z

It should really have a redirect. Can someone set it up? 12.111.23.142 14:39, 8 June 2007 (UTC)Italian Retard Out Cruising[reply]

I guess that's a decent enough term to redirect. Done. Roguegeek (talk) 01:50, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

what year?

what year is this?

What year is the Camaro pictured here? It would be nice to figure out its proper year so that we can place it into the correct section. Anyone know? My knowledge on the third-gen is not so good. Roguegeek (talk) 03:07, 6 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It can be anywhere in the 88-90 range. 85-90 body style, IROC vinyls at the back of doors instead of front, two grooves per spoke on rims instead of one... It might also be an earlier one with newer rims on it... you never know. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Jonboy2312 (talkcontribs) 03:47, 6 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

LT1 305?

Incorrect information posted for 1989... "They had the 2.8 V6 fuel injected motor as standard with the 5.0 305 LT1 as an option." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.201.106.211 (talk) 00:02, 5 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Corrections and comments

The article needs some minor corrections:

1982

  • `Berlinetta' and `Cross Fire Injection': apostrophes do not match.
  • "all aluminum": it should be written as "all-aluminum".

1985

  • "Camaro IROC-Z was": I don't understand why IROC-Z should be in italic.

1986

  • "IROC-Zs; In": what follows a semicolon should not be capitalized unless strictly necessary.

1987

  • The article talks about "IROC-Z28", "IROC-Z" and "Z28". What are the differences?
  • "t-top" and "T-Top": everything should be "t-top".
  • "VIN code of 2" is followed by "VIN code of 3": why should the second VIN link instead of the first one?

1989

  • "RPO G92 also included the aforementioned dual-converter exhaust; 4-wheel disc brakes (RPO J65); engine oil cooler; P245/50ZR16 Goodyear Eagle unidirectional tires; a 135 mph (217 km/h) speedometer; and a tachometer with a 5,500 rpm redline."

I don't see the need of using semicolons instead of comas.

  • "larger 11.65-inch (296 mm) rotors with 2-piston aluminium calipers from PBR (Same as Corvette models of this year); an aluminum driveshaft; a special baffled fuel tank; specific shock absorbers; and stiffer suspension bushings."

I don't see the need of using semicolons instead of comas.

1991

  • "beefed up": it should be written as beefed-up.

I also add two comments:

  • Although the world "coupe" is widely used in English, it should be written as "coupé" to reflet the way it sounds.
  • It would be nice to have a picture for every production year.
