"Introduced in 1985 as a way of celebrating the Camaro’s involvement in the International Race of Champions series, a one-make stock car series that put the focus on driver competition rather than car preparation, the IROC-Z lasted through 1990 as the top-of-the-line 3rd generation Camaro. That makes the 1990 the last of the line for the –Z cars, with the final 245 horsepower 5.7-liter V8 residing under the Camaro’s long, louvered hood. Thick anti-roll bars front and back help the Camaro achieve highly impressive skidpad numbers—around 0.90 lateral G’s—despite the antiquated live rear axle. That’s a testament to what eighteen years of continual development by GM’s engineers can do for a platform. It also looks the part of a ponycar, with a low beltline and short deck that presents a nice compliment to the expanding waistlines of more recent cars in this class. Camaro fans can’t deny that the IROC-Z looks and performers like the ultimate 3rd generation Camaro that it is."—Official description[1]
The 1990 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z - abbreviated as "Chevy Camaro '90" - is a rear-wheel drive sports car by Chevrolet.
It appears in Forza Motorsport 3 and all subsequent Motorsport titles, as well as in Forza Horizon 2, Forza Horizon 3 and Forza Horizon 4 as part of the Series 31 update.
Synopsis[]
The Camaro IROC-Z is a performance model of the third generation Chevrolet Camaro from 1982 to 1992. The IROC-Z, which stood for the International Race of Champions racing series, was first offered in 1985 as a performance package for the Z28 Camaro, but became a standalone model in 1988 that replaced the Z28 until its final run in 1990.[2]
It is mechanically similar to the 1987 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA, which is also based on the F-body platform and is fitted with the 5.7 liter "L98" V8 engine.
