1992 Chevrolet Camaro RS - Spotlight

UNKNOWN_370 · 01-09-2013, 09:24 AM

The 87 camaro IROC-Z is the car i missed in my ownership experience. My friend had one though and it was a blast to drive. I remember how these bad muthaf***az sounded off the lot. Damn!!!! Why don't cars sound like that anymore???
While the 80's was a sucky time for GM build quality and suspensions. It was an awesome time for high performance motors and transmissions. The Gm 4 speed auto's were very exciting for the time. You couldn't manually shift them without buying an expensive & complicated shift kit BUT, those things shifted themselves like pro's. The first of the exciting autos were in camaros, corvettes, monte carlo's and regal T-ype and grand national.

Wow, that sounds awesome. Would love to see pics or more info of that 5.0.

Honestly, I have been toying around the idea of building a future Fox body just because there is such a large aftermarket/ OEM reproduction market.

I would have to +1 your entire post, you get it because you were around the cars in their prime. Nowadays these cars are driven into the ground and overlooked by most people but there is a ton of potential!
