1988 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z review from North America
"Not practical at all, but a lot of fun"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The stock motor ran good up until 130000 miles then had to be replaced. The car went through several water pumps and other cooling system parts. When upgraded to a 180 degree thermostat and new high performance sending units, the car ran fantastic.
General comments?
Good performance but handling leaves something to be desired. Terrible in any kind of foul weather, but that should be expected of a RWD V-8. In general a fun car to drive (weather permitting).
