Default RE: IROC camaro vs Intrepid ES

IROC = It's Really Only a Camaro. Unless it has the TPI 350 those 3rd gens are slow. They are ment for big blocks but they came about 15 years too late. There are some fast 3rd gens out there but if they have the tbi motors they just flat out suck.

By the way what was Dodge's sports car of the 80s?
Well, there wasn't much but Shelby stepped up with several turbo 2.2 cars that held their own when it came to Camaros. For example an 87 Camaro IROC-Z ran the quarter in 15.2 and a Shelby CSX ran it in 15.3.
Fortunately, Mopar people are pretty recourceful and upping the boost have some turbo K-cars running 10's. There is a funny video at thedodgegarage.com that has a turbo Caravan putting a whooping on a 2001 Camaro SS
