The Seven Best Chevy Camaros Of All Time And The Three Worst

December 15, 2017

1985 Camaro IROC-Z

The 80s was a curious time for muscle cars. You have the Foxbody Mustang, which for all its performance, looked pretty shoddy. Then you have the IROC-Z. This is a car that, while it may not look like the archetypal Camaro, was a great car. Starting production in 1985, the IROC-Z packed a 350 engine which produced 225 horsepower, and let it hit 60 in 6.3 seconds. It also came as a convertible, the first Camaro soft-top since 1969.

It’s started being seen as an investment Camaro in recent years, thanks partly to the heavy customisability of its small-block engine. Other factors include the superb aftermarket support, and its racing pedigree. The IROC-Z raced from 1984-1989, and it shows in how well it handles. An underrated Camaro which deserves more attention, the IROC-Z is well worth talking about.
