1990 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z review from North America

The alternator failed to keep the battery charged due to a bad connection. We replaced it with a remanufactured unit which fixed the problem.

The front disc brakes have given me problems in the past. When I put new rotors on they always glaze over and squeal a lot.

The factory Bose CD player doesn't like to play any CD when the weather is cold out.

Transmission mounts for the 700R4 don't like to stay in one piece when you are putting the car through it's paces. I've been through four in two years.

Exhaust seems to rattle too much at idle speeds.

Driver's seat starting to tear on the left side.

The 350 T.P.I. has tons of power (245 hp. & 345 lb. ft.), and the automatic always finds the right gear.

Handling on the car was greatly improved by adding Falken 245/50/R16 directional tires. They make a huge difference off the line and in the corners.

You don't see many third generation Camaros around today with low mileage and good looks too.

Decent gas mileage for a V8 on the highway due to a very tall fourth gear. I can go 90 in fourth, and barely break 2500 r.p.m. with the 3:42 axle ratio. However, city driving really takes its toll on the fuel.

Overall a great car with great performance and good reliability.
