The International Race of Champions (“IROC”) was a U.S.-based limited race series where the top drivers competed in identically-prepared cars. The series initially started in 1974 with Porsche 911RSRs. One year later, Chevrolet took over sponsorship from 1975 through 1989.
In 1985, Chevrolet marketers decided to capitalize on the International Race of Champions (“IROC”) U.S.-based limited race series’ success by offering an IROC-Z performance option package on Camaro Z28s. Camaro IROC-Zs featured upgraded suspensions, 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, and an optional Tuned Port Injection system donated from the Chevrolet Corvette. It also shared the Corvette’s Goodyear “Gatorback” unidirectional tires in a slightly smaller 245/50/VR16 size.
IROC performance heated up for the 1987 model year when Chevrolet offered buyers the choice of either of the L98 225 horsepower 350 cubic inch (5.7 Liter) Tuned Port Injection (“TPI”) engine mated to a mandatory four-speed automatic. A five-speed manual was only available with the 215 horsepower 305 cubic inch (5.0 Liter) V8.
All V8 engines received hydraulic roller lifters and a new valve cover/head design. Valve covers featured new sealing and center bolts in the valve covers. Heads featured a new raised lip for improved valve cover sealing and the two center intake bolts were changed from 90-degree orientation to 72 degrees. G92 and L98 cars got the Borg-Warner HD 7.75-inch (197 mm) four-pinion rear end, produced for GM’s Holden of Australia. These units can be identified by their 9-bolt (rather than 10) differential cover that has a rubber drain plug. The Borg-Warner logo is also cast into the bottom of the differential case. This rear axle came with tapered rather than straight roller bearings and a cone-clutch rather than disc-clutch limited-slip unit. These units came painted black from the factory while most others were bare metal. All 1987 350 TPI L98 IROC-Zs required 3.27 gears, J65 rear disc brakes, G80 limited-slip differential, and a KC4 engine oil cooler.
The largest visual change this year was the CHMSL (third brake light) was now mounted inside the rear spoiler instead of on top of the rear hatch (except the base coupe without the spoiler option – on those cars it remained on top of the hatch like the previous year). The Berlinetta was no longer available this year, replaced with a new LT model, while the base Camaro and Z28 continued as before. 145 mph (233 km/h) speedometers became standard in the IROC-Zs and Z28s with tuned port injected engines while the carbureted Camaro models and 2.8 liter V6 retained the 85 mph speedometer.
