BIO:
The Chevrolet contingent anted up their new Corvette-powered missile, the 5.7-liter IROC-Z. This car was scheduled for mid-1986 production for the express purpose of wresting the pony-car acceleration crown away from the Mustang V-8.
In its IROC application, the ram-tuned, fuel-injected Corvette powerplant is rated at 220 hp. It is backed up by a four-speed automatic transmission, because a manual gearbox hefty enough to handle the engine's torque won't fit.
(This keeps the 5.7-liter IROC in the desired EPA weight class.) Because of the complexities of certifying this engine-and-car combination, only 1000 big-engined Camaros were scheduled for 1986 production. Going to so much trouble for so few cars indicates just how badly Chevrolet wants revenge.
The Camaro was almost as light on options as the Mustang, but it did not lack for attention to detail. Our test car's metallic-red paint sparkled with a world-class polish job, and its throbbing exhaust suggested that its engine had been handpicked for battle. All was ready.
“The IROC-Z puts its energy to the ground with just the right amount of wheelspin to let the engine quickly reach the meat of its power band.”
In fact, it was excellent controllability that gave the IROC-Z its big advantage at Willow Springs. The Z's nearly neutral cornering balance and ability to segue smoothly from understeer to oversteer made driving on the track easy. In long, sweeping corners, it was a cinch to choose a line and set the car's attitude by gently caressing the throttle. Upon exiting the bend, more power, along with a bit of opposite steering lock, kept the Z pointed in the desired direction without breaking traction at the rear wheels.
