The Forgotten 1992 Dodge Daytona IROC R/T is a Rare and Underrated Pony Car Like The Z28 or Mustang 

You're very kind, E.F. Thank you.

Amen!

OMg just found this channel! You are my new favorite!

My first car was a white 1985 Chrysler Laser XE. I got it in 1997.

Were you successful in getting him to keep it? My dad was a real prick when it came to stuff like that. When I was a kid he got a '71 or '72 corvette stingray, put a new engine in (did keep the old block) and we'd drive through the mountains in it. A few years later I started college and that son of a bitch (may you rest in peace grandmother) asked me if I wanted the corvette. Obviously I said yes but pointed out that I couldn't keep it on campus. A week or two later he calls and says you didn't really want the corvette did you? Then he goes on to tell me his brother bought it off of him who then later sold it to my cousin. He's done stuff like that with a lot of things, the corvette, a sweet ass wood planer, a kubota backhoe, and some family guns. I learned then that my dad was a lying asshole and in general just not a really good person. It seems maybe he wanted money for those things but he could have said so and I'd have paid for them if I was able. Now flash forward to present and those corvettes are expensive as all hell. If I had a mean bone in my body, I'd wait until he needs put in a nursing home (which I'm against) and say you didn't really want to stay at home with expensive in home health care did you? Awe shuckeez, I spent your senior citizen care fund on some guns, a corvette and a tractor. lol.

@@PatrickDKing get help

@@PatrickDKing funny as hell. Make sure you tell him about your comment, I bet he would get a good laugh. My dad has done a few similar things.

@@PatrickDKing my mother did something like that to me. She took my grandfather’s car a 1984 Cadillac sedan deville and rather then let me have it as he intended, she sold it to one of her piss poor friends. She tried to tell me “ oh well the transmission blew up” yeah cause you had a 16 year old with a big RWD car, bet you 10 bucks he was neutral dropping it when it blew. Anyways they quit paying her for it when it blew and I don’t know what happened to it. I suspect it was hauled off for junk or given away in as one of those cars for kids thing. Regardless all I have is a set of keys and an owners manual for a car that’s likely several Frigidaires now

This engine was nuts.

He was being generous the sohc t engine can be googled wikid and you'll see its no were close to 200 whp or these would be legendary like the Grand National, but they are not but your Gs-t was an actual fast car dohc turbo 2.0 smashes the sohc in the dodge lol.......... Daytona maybe had 165 bhp with a turbo.. The dodge shadow Turbo was 155 bhp with the next gen sohc motor..

@@curiouscars9282 when I was shopping for one of those nigh on 20 years ago I could never find a 4 cyl. Every one I found had that damn V-6 in it and that was not what I wanted. I looked high and low, in the good and bad areas and I spend days on autotrader seeking one out. After nearly 3 years of searching in the early days of the internet I just gave up. I settled for a 1998 Acura Integra GS-R in good shape I found at a local lot . I’ve had that Acura for over 20 years now but I always thought I didn’t look hard enough or I did something wrong in my seeking. With just 241 to 341 cars made you just answered a question I had for nearly 2 decades. IT WASAN’T ME, I DIDN’T FIND ONE CAUSE THERE WEREN’T ANY TO FIND. And now I’m somehow sadder but happier in a way, cause I did ultimately get a better car. But the what if will still haunt me, thanks for a look anyways glad to get it

@@matthewcaughey8898 Found my black one at South Holland Dodge in the late 90s. Still has 6895 miles on it. A real garage queen, but what a 224 hp front driver.

@@michaelandradejr Where did you get your information from? You say the Dodge Daytona had MAYBE 165hp? Do yourself a favor and Google these cars. These cars (the 1992-1993) Dodge Daytona Iroc R/T had 224hp from the factory. Yes....that is the same as the Ford Mustang GT 5.0 from the same year. And yes, this car has half the number of cylinders. And yes...this Dodge Daytona Iroc R/T made more HP than the Eagle Talon TSi and Mitsubishi Eclipse GS-T and/or GSX of the same year.

Well Gavin, I'm Irish too, living presently in Dubai. Bet Bill has viewers from all over the world. Love how he brings back that whole era of whichever car he happens to review. Pure talent.

I'm an Aussie... and sometimes I just can't breathe, laughing at Bill's dry, deadpan refences to 80s coke usage, gun storage, chipper Canadians and toddlers in the trunk... not to mention the wildlife and local weather.... love his in-depth car knowledge... can't wait for him to review a low mileage 79 Silver Shadow?

Bill is excessive exclamation points. At least when it comes to birds... or cats... or goats... or bad detailing... Canadians, children, gun storage, Florida weather, travel... you get the point.

I absolutely loved that black Grand Prix. I would’ve actually almost take that over my childhood dream car - C4 Corvette (if we’re speaking strictly American).

GMC/CHEVROLET really f#cked up getting rid of their Pontiac line of cars!

Same...teen in the 90's. Late 80's and most 90's cars always turn my head when on the road, most of the time if the driver sees me looking that think I am some sort of stalker. They are really a rarity on the road here in Oregon. I just saw a new looking Z24 on the road last week, I thought I was in a time machine...the young kid driving likely got it from his dead grandma and hates driving it sadly.

I agree 💯

Same me bro ​@@Hughesburner

Sgt. Dee Dee McCall would have looked great in this car as she did in the older Daytonas.

The Goes Like Hell was a street stomper at the time. If you were around at time, you knew.

Don't the the Wraith with Charlie Sheen, this movie had a red Daytona Turbo Z and a few other Daytona's as Turbo K-Car police cars.

Hunter is on Amazon prime! I used to love that show and have been binge watching lately.

I always loved the Dodge Spirit. My mother and I rented a white one with red interior in Florida in 1991 from “Dollar Rent A Car” and I have fond memories of it. The R/T model is really cool - never driven one. Whenever I used to see a Dodge Spirit or Plymouth Acclaim it was like a lucky charm for me (Nowadays it is extremely rare to see one).

Same here.

@@danielknepper6884 Agree. My family didn't have a Daytona, but a couple of Chrysler products in the 1980's, and they were not well built. They made GM cars look good at the time. The Daytona does look pretty cool, and Chrysler products were value priced.

This thing is DSM before DSM existed, no hate

Stale and overused

If this was your iroc at home chances are it's worth more than the iroc you want

@@666cemetaryslut fact

Nice!

@@maximilianswansson1264 I’m starting to clean and tune them now. I have a warehouse full of cars from the 1990s. All dealer trades. I’m going to start posting videos soon. Some have been sitting ten years. I have over 40 cars from the 90s.

Damn - You're definitely buying them right!

@@curiouscars9282 I have 26 z24 cavaliers. All trades, $500.00 -$750.00 each. One 1994 z24 I bought off my local high school. 27 original miles. Got that “Vermont” (damn phone) title on it.

@@90scarguy hey, I've chatted with you before about my cars. I believe it was you who told me that my 89 Z24 convertible is technically a 3 tone interior. Light gray, with dark gray inserts, and if I looked closely, I'd see purple threads in the dark gray areas of the interior. Exterior is black with silver ground effects and a black top. I remember you being very nice and intelligent

Thanks, Ron. The weather really is miserable.

Its "wraith "...

Nope 😂

Quad 4 and a five speed, as a muscle car guy I was very surprised the first time someone gave me a ride in one of these little rockets (for the time anyway)

Had a 92. Fun car that got me in a little trouble. At one point my insurance was more than my car payment!

Saw alot of GTU and GTZs in IOWA in the 90s. Tons of GP GTPs too.

I had a couple Z26s with quad 4s, fun lil cars! Until you turned on the AC and the power was cut in half lol

I had a Z34 Chevy Lumina. Don't hear much about those. Fast car for its day.

He went on for 40 minutes once about a craptastic fwd Buick Regal 😂 it was his first video I saw. Instantly subscribed

Peter happened to be around for this one, but I'll give it a shot.

Yeah..that was pretty cool. Thanks

They're definitely a handsome design.

@Fred Garvin The Spirit R/T had the same 224 hp engine as this car lol. Get your facts straight.

That Turbo 2.2 was no joke

Send borko my regards

@@freepoohsheisty Hehehehe

Hey Bill, greetings from sunny, dry Southern California, love the intro with the burn out!! I'm glad that you haven't had any goat 🐐 sighting!!! Thanks for sharing another fun video!!! 👍😊

Thanks, Paulie. It's a fun one.

Me too

Man I saw a complete isuzu impulse at the upullnpay in phx AZ a couple years ago. Super weird dash, hood opened the wrong way, wheels were 80s cool. I wish I would've asked about buying it. It makes me sad that it probably got crushed.

The C/S is a rarrreee trim level.

@@dmacpher I know, I've only ever seen 1 other out in the wild. I still carry the C/S badge around in the arm rest of my 87 Cutlass Ciera S FE3 coupe for good luck.

Had Peter on hand. He's always good for lighting up the tires in anything.

The overhang is crazy. Agree - it had been 2 decades since I saw any Daytona.

The all had that overhang. For the entire run the bare sheet metal of the fenders, doors and quarters were all exactly the same. The facelift was exactly that, the front bumper cover and rear tail light housings from any of the 3 generations will pretty much bolt onto one another. They would change some of the door moldings and ground effects around to hide the fact the body shell on a '93 was pretty much the same as an '84.

My first car was a 92 dodge Daytona. It was blue. Not a iroc/rt but it was nice. Totalled it. Got a 79 Cadillac deville after that.

Saw a beauty today in Calgary. Looked exactly like this one and that is why I’m here!

@@Jeff-pz8vh That's excellent!

Wow I had a dodge omi when I was 19 yrs old but the one you had is a collectors item Carol Shelby had his hands in the development of the glh

I have a video of one on my channel

Sweet I had an omni and it was fast. I don't know why but it thing flew. On hiwaythe speedo would be all way down buried and still going faster. What a at Dodge Omni

They could be pretty well loaded.

I had this exact car in 1996, loved it!

After cars, Mr Bill should do florida town reviews.

Hey hey from Butler pa.

@@90scarguy Ah, good ol' Butler! I was up 'air on Raht 8, last time I saw a Daytona moving under it's own power. Good folks there.

Good afternoon up there!

@@egold2071 I live right off RT-8 and, had my red Daytona at sheetz on RT-8 last night throwing some fuel into it. Could have been me 😅

Glad I'm not the only one up here in Pittsburgh that loves Bill's channel.

I agree, the same shit coming from Florida.

@@brianlee7738 sweating like a pig here lol

@@chrisexperience7 What the fuck? No words.

@@danielknepper6884 I'm very well aware of that, thank you. Ultimately, they were all K-Based, no matter now much lengthening or widening they did. It was still a K-Car, no matter what program code was used.

It sure don't sound like a HEMI.

Has your manufacturing quality come right, I thought it was a little average.

I had same car loved it

The official rating was 145 hp, later revisions took it to 175.
