1986 Chevrolet Camaro Iroc Z-28 review from North America

"A beautiful car with a lot of power"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

I bought this car for 350 dollars and the only thing wrong with it was that the engine was blown.

I have driven this car extremely hard which may account for some of the problems that it has had.

I have had to rebuild the manual 5 speed transmission four times.

The torque arm bolts strip out.

I have broken three transmission mounts.

The transmission does not like to go into second gear. It makes whining noises.

General comments?

This is a quick car. The motor is out of a different car. I junked the 305 and put in a 350. The car has a lot of power and the stock transmission does not seem to be able to handle it.

The looks of this vehicle are spectacular. These cars have a lot of potential.

The exterior looks extremely aggressive and people respect the car when they see it. The t-tops are an added bonus.

The interior is so cool with the deep dash and the instrument cluster is spectacular. It feels like you are entering a cockpit of an air plane when you get in it.

There is not much leg or headroom for tall people. Especially the back seat :)

It guzzles a ton of fuel with a four barrel carburetor.

If you want a fast car with a lot of looks for extremely cheap then this is the car for you!

Just because it doesn't say (SS, Z-28, or IROC-Z) it makes the Sport Coupe a sleeper to the ignorant
