5TH GEN IROC-Z THOUGHT PLEASE
How do you guys feel about The IROC-Z badge on a 5th GEN, is it paying homage or is it POSING
All of the options on the IROC Z have since been upgraded on the 5th gen For 1985, Chevrolet introduced a new Camaro model — the famous IROC-Z, named after the popular competition International Race of Champions. Offered as an option package on the Z28, the Camaro IROC-Z featured an Upgraded suspension Lowered ride height Specially valved Delco - Bilstein shocks Larger diameter sway bars A steering/frame brace known as the "wonder bar" A special decal package An optional Tuned Port Injection system taken from the Corvette. It also shared the Corvette's Goodyear "Gatorback" unidirectional tires in a 245/50/VR16 Unique new aluminum 5-spoke 16 by 8 inch wheels.

Not a fan at all.
That is like putting an SS badge on a vehicle that isn't an SS.

Only reason I ask is becuase posing is when you badge something as in UPGRADING....IROC is no longer around and all the options within the package are UPGRADED higer than the original version

Yes
Stop putting badges on a car and trying to make it something it isn't. Plain and simple.

80s also had a camaro known as a Baretta. The 5th gen is a way upgraded version of that, would you put those badges on yours?
I love IROC camaros but they belong to the camaro modeled after the IROC racing series. 5th gens dont.
