Coming to work this morning, there was a reduction from 3 to 2 lanes for street repair. I was at a light beside an IROC Camaro and in the lane that ended 1 block away. Well the Mexican guy driving (no insults intended for our hispanic members) rev'd me. When the light changed I spun the tires pretty hard as did he, but was able to holeshot him and get in front. He obviously didn't like this. As he passed, he put it in neutral and rev'd it, then threw a couple tacos or something in front of my car.

Not the most exciting race, but I just love beating the GM POOPY.

 

do you have that GM POOPY logo saved on your computer? like alt-p or something?

was it a mid 80s-ish iroc? if so, im not surprised that you beat him to the end of the lane, or that he rev'd you..thats what IROCs do!

and are you sure he was mexican? that would change the acronym to MROC...hahahaha

 

OH YEAH. Heard the trumpet music playing right before the tire spinning began. And the tacos were a dead giveaway.

 

did he have a mexi-mullet?

a guy who works with me has a 87 iroc in gorgeous shape, however, it is a 305 4-speed. i thought the irocs were only 350s...it has to be a real slug...

 

For a guy with no hair, you really ride the mullet crowd pretty hard, don't you.

No mullet. THe IROC was an 89-90. They came with both thwe 5.0L and 5.7L engine. There was also 2 versions of the 5.0L.

 

did GM try to pass one of the 5.0s off as a performance engine?

 

Yeah. They have been using them in passenger cars for awhile.

 

once you got in front of him, you should have rev'd your engine feverishly...sort of adding insult to injury..showing off your stock-ness.

 

Didn't have to. He witnessed the almighty Intrepid family sedan power first hand. I was in full-on bling, strutting the bike rack and mopar performance license plate frame.

That's great to hear. Most of the IROC's came with the lowly 305, but most assume they all have a built up 350. It's actually almost rare to find one with a 350, especially with a manual trans.
