Doc and Super38Z both have a lot of this spot on. If I missed anyone then please forgive me, I'm entering my bit in the immortal pages of history here.
The Z28 was an RPO option the literally grew it's own legs and walked into fame, not a plan by GM. An largely in part to comply with racing regulations as well as a damn good winning record it stayed with the public. GM cashed in on it. Smart.
An as for IROC. The same thing, especially when they got to sponsor the Pace Car for that race series with a Camaro, as well as Daytona. There have also been other cars to sponsor that series as well but were not counting them right now. Like the El Camino and the Beretta.
But, no matter where it sits the Z28 will always be seen as special and now its got a good potential to restle with Fords Shelby edition mustang and keep the Vette out of it so they can concentrate that car on it's targets overseas.
