1988 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z for sale with test drive, driving sounds, and walk through video 

Get a new Z71!

I had an 87. Had it painted gun metal grey. Installed the flow masters, had the interior completely redone. Lost it in my divorce. Ex sold it for $4000.

Jesse Navarro that grey was a one year only color too! They offered this and a burnt orange color only for 88. I love em both!! You had a great car!!

Did it rattle and squeak?

😂😂 Right I thought the same. Even hurt me.

The manual even says not to slam it.

Que pendejo para cerar la cajuela

I concur.

because he didn't have one! ha

holden used the zf 6 speed in a higher spec coz t5 were getting chewed

Really? Anyways, as soon as the twisties started, the Mustang was but a memory.

@DR PHIL No they wouldn't,but the only reason they wouldn't is because the weight of the car. It would scorch an automatic mustang but the manual Stang was quicker to 60

@DR PHIL I'm right there with you,. there was something about 5spd mustangs and their ability to accelerate that usually beat cars with more power. But once they hit higher speeds they fell flat. I own a 1995 Taurus SHO with a 5 SPD manual trans and I have raced 5.0 liter mustangs with manual transmissions.II don't have a chance with these cars until about 90 mph and beyond because V8 mustangs have so much more torque but I have more wheel horse power than a stock mustang and I pull on them all the way to top speed.140-145 mph.Ive raced only 5.0 tpi Camaros and the Sho will beat them to 60 and beyond the whole run.either way 5.7 Camaros will win in the end once speeds are high over a 87-93 mustang.

Bob, they wouldnt hit 150 .... 145 was it! Per a radar gun. 😁

@@danielfair4675 I saw 150 on my speedometer :o)

YES refer to my reply on Badazzone down the page about the Formulas! You will agree!

Your full of shit 87-93 stangs ruled the world i was there

@DR PHIL and fuck dr phil

@@shawnwest9383 they were pretty much dead even, 0-60, 1/4 mile & top end. I was there AND owned both at the same time for about 6 years. Ordered new an '87 5.7 IROC & again in '91 a 5-speed GT. Both great cars. I would post pics of them together on here if I could.

@@danielfair4675 Both cars are legends still have my 90 black on black GT

I had an 86 z28 305 5 speed t-tops when I turned 17. The 5 speed makes it a completely different car. The worst sunburn I ever got was a three day weekend road trip to Folsom lake. Left the t tops home in San Francisco cus I wore a heavy coat in the city if I was cold surly I’m not going to be cold in the valley 🥵😡🤬

I thought the same thing.

+Josh River Yeah i thought the same thing, i used to have one and u only shut it ever so slowly and then let the back hack close itself,,,,,,,,geese mr. salesman, good way to wreck it!

I have a 1988 IROC-Z. You don't have to slam it, but you'd have to be one strong motherfucker to close it with one finger. The struts are pretty hardcore.

mm75 mm75 😒😏☺️🤭😂🤣

No you didn't go with the Cavaricci pants!! LoL now I known you were at the clubs in the 80's ! LoL

These cars came with 700R4's.

Benjamin Williams corvettes also had th700r4, c5 had 4l60e

I did not know this. Thank you for correcting me. Sad Americas sweetheart the Corvette was saddled with a truck tranny. Nice going Chevrolet!!!

In 1990, the 700R4 was redesignated as the 4L60 (4-speeds,

Rabbi Schlomo No they are not And Dont You call me dummy. Why would GM put a truck tranny in a performance car to begin with, to save on build cost. The 700R4 that came in my 92 Camaro after one year of owbership failed at the third gear clutch pack. GM covered the cost of the rebuild, but after doing extensive research I ended up ordering a warrantied 4L60 and having my local dealership install it so it too was covered under warranty. The upsetting thibg is when I bought the Camaro new, there was not any option listed or special listing to buy the car with the 4L60 trans in the first place. Everyone conbected with racing GM cars knew then rhat the 4L60 and 4L80 transys are far superior to the off the shelf 700R4. This is Why they came installed in the then model corvettes standard NOT as an option.

LS juan He has no clue what he’s talking about ..

t-10 gearbox would handle that

or supra 5 speed from same era

6 speed Hollinger would be the ultimate

You could special order a manual trans from the factory. Just had to know a dealer that knew how to get things done.

Haha right...the only time you can slam then and they don't hurt it if is the motor gets caught in the down position...this mainly comes from very weak struts and as the motor pops up when you hit the rear hatch latch switch the weight of the hatch triggers the switch BUT does not pull the hatch down all the day! I learned this one time early on....but when you slamming it while not good, your not slamming the motor down anywhere...just the hatch until it hits the frame...

there was never a 350 3rd gen camaro with a 5 speed

Exactly, I don't know why people keep pushing this conspiracy theory that GM built camaros with the 350 and manual transmissions lol

@@gmg921 the Camaro 305 is manual 5 speed

Corey, Nope

+badazzone1 It's faded, they had not come out with endurance paint for plastic yet, like todays cars

No I agree with Bad a bit..plus the VIN in the back I believe should be more to the right on that rear hatch??? I'll go check mine tonight...

To be honest...its really getting to the point that the RPO code sticker NEED to be included when buying a third gen Pontiac and IROC-Z...there ARE so many instances where either the dealership HAS no idea what they have and or vice versa and want too much. Everyone knows that GM buried there special hidden performance packages in RPO codes and delete options

As a former GM guy, I assure you Chevy NEVER SOLD a 5.7 (350) IROC to the public with a manual transmission. They were only offered with an Automatic, just like the Pontiac Formula, Trans Am & GTA.

da fuq??

What how I got it for dirt cheap price??

ACTUALLY 230hp and 330 torque

That's cause GM never made any, lol.

Mario Marin its from the fucking 80s dumbass and if you are talking about HP, those engines have a lot of torque

The first year 5.7 '87's were more rare, they didnt start producing them till mid-year. I ordered mine in early November in '86 and it didn't come in till March 7th of '87.

I am not buying that the camaro came with the 700R4 because GM did not have a manual that could handle the 5.7 torque.

At that point in time, they were not able to produce an affordable transmission that could handle the torque that the 350 created. If you want to put a stock T-5 from a 305 on your 350 and burn it up, be everyone's guest.

+Rick Goodwin Do your homework when u buy one, its hard to find one in great condition, look around first, do just get the first one u see

+Mitchell Carson In that era I'd get the IROC.

Shoot an email to Tony@flemingsultimategarage.com with some pictures and specs please. If its something we are interested in, we will be in contact

yeah i have a 88 iroc that is gun metal grey which is the correct name of the color.

They made this grey color in 88 and they offered silver in 85 only!

They actually made 50, in 1986 with the 5.7 BUT ..... they were test mules and never offered nor sold to the public. Thats why the 5.7 was not offered until mid-year in 1987. GM was worried about reliability. The Vette only had a 4-speed manual, where as the Camaro had a 5-speed. The torque scared GM from putting it in with the 5.7 GM Employee 😁
