Default Bought myself an 87 Iroc 5.7l! Check it out

I purchased my first car! After 7 years of putting half my paychecks away I picked up this camaro. Its in great shape...no rust and only 153,000kms. The t-tops are going to be fun. Its got ceramic headers with hiflow cats and flowmaster 40 exhaust. Only 5 more months and I can drive it. I paid 4500 for it.

now for the ****















Dam is this car fast. Fast and torquey! When you switch from drive to reverse, the rear wheels squeak and the car jolts..kinda scary lol. And the acceleration on these cars are awesome. Probably too much power for a first car but I'm not going to be stupid with it. I know that if I mess this car up I won't be getting another camaro for a very long time. So let me know what you think!

Give me your engine. I demand it.

The rest of the car is nice, but the engine's what I want the most~

How old is the paint on it, do you know?

welcome to the forum, and thats a nice Z28. however, i dont beleive it is the iroc unless someone swapped the badges to Z28. you can check the rpo list to see if it really is an iroc though.

Thanks everyone. Saint Ebony, the paint is 11 years old. It's still pretty good except for the odd tiny nick here and there.

I'll deffinatly look into the iroc thing. It has the IROC badges on the inside, and he showed me a picture of the car before he painted it. It was with black with brown details on the bottom and had the IROC on the side. But never the less, I'll look into it.

Do ya'll like the centerline rims? I don't think I've seen any on a camaro before. I prefer the iroc rims but the centerlines look pretty sharp.
