Ive noticed while leaving work another 3rd gen in the parking lot.Its a nice car and I love my 3rd gens so today when the 2nd shift came in I asked about it.This is where it gets good.I didnt talk to the owner himself but supposedly its a "corvette in a camaro body" .Get this....its a IROC SS !!!I said I never heard of it,which he replied its a "1 of 300" made by a side company like the Firehawk.Supposedly it has a 400 turbo trans and a 400 hp STOCK 350!!!!!Smelled like to me.Anyone else?BTW I drove by it leaving and it has z28 badges but no IROC badges.Im thinking about getting the VIN monday to check

A homemade model of a Camaro to suit someone's idea of his dream car.

now that's so gooooood bullsh*ting! Woo we!! It takes a real man to spew like that out to another human being and expect them to believe it. Give the poor bastard an A for effort. As for the tall tale he told, that BS is so thick you might have to shovel it off the parking lot yourself!

The person that described the car to you probably screwed up the "It's got a Corvette motor in it" part. It might have the 350 and has been worked to give it 400 horses, but it's not a rare car. It was never made as an IROC-SS from an aftermarket comapny. The only real IROC-SS is an El Camino customized at Choo Choo Customs.
