2019 IROC-Z Camaro Convertible, MUST SEE New 2019 IROC-Z Camaro Convertible
The challenge of keeping an automotive legend evergreen increases in direct proportion to its age, which makes the perpetuation of the 2019 Iroc-z one of the most formidable assignments in American autodom. How well the stewards of this 47-year-old icon discharge their sobering duty is a function of their creativity, their understanding of both IROC-Z loyalists and potential IROC-Z wannabes, and—the essential element—budget.
However passionate the keepers of the faith may be, the compelling improvements they might like to install are inevitably tempered by the corporate funding apportioned to the task. The people who file P&L statements aren’t known for their automotive passions, and even less for sentimentality.
With that in mind, the latest updates to the mainstream IROC-Z Camaro, Will be on sale now as an early 2019 model, add up to a freshening. It entails a number of styling tweaks, some cool performance-measuring electronics, a Recaro-seat option (leather or cloth, adapted from the IROC-Z and Camaro), a very modest increase in the output of the IROC-Z’s 5.0-liter V-8, and a couple Shaker sound systems capable of rousing sound sleepers in the next county (and making them glad they woke up).
