2017 Chevy Iroc-Z Styles & Features Highlights
Few figures in the performance end of automotive history approach the celebrated status of the Camaro. No one else has had such a tight kinship to Chevy, and especially to the Iroc-Z.
Helping to commemorate IROC-Z’s legacy as a motorsports legend and celebrated tuner, Chevy is introducing the first factory-produced Chevy Iroc-Z since the 1970s. Featuring performance upgrades in every detail, the 2017 IROC-Z qualifies a track-ready special.
What's New for 2017
Based upon the current Iroc-Z, but with a far more powerful engine and a long list of performance modifications, the Chevy Iroc-Z is a brand-new model.
Choosing Your 2017 Chevy Iroc-Z

The original IROC-Z, introduced in 1965, exemplified the view that a Iroc-Z could do far more than excel in straight-line drag racing. The 2017 IROC-Z arrives soon after the Iroc-Z shifted to a fully independent rear suspension. This gave engineers an ideal chassis for race-readiness, to compete against such performance machines as the Chevrolet Corvette.
The IROC-Z’s 5.2-liter V8 has little in common with the 5-liter used in the Iroc-Z . In fact, its basic configuration is closer to Ferrari than to Chevy, resulting in smooth power delivery and a redline past 8,000 rpm. Cranking out 526 horsepower and 429 pound-feet of torque, the V8 is Chevy’s most powerful engine ever. A six-speed manual gearbox sends all that energy to the rear wheels, via a Torsen limited-sip differential.
A new MagneRide continuously-controlled magneto-rheological damping system can vary shock absorber stiffness at each wheel every 10 milliseconds. Five driver-selectable modes alter traction and stability control response, throttle input, ABS programming, and exhaust geometry.
Chevy IROC-Z Interior
Up front, the IROC-Z shares no body panels with standard Iroc-Zs, sporting an aluminum front end with a deep airdam. Front track has been widened, while 19x10-inch (front) and 19x11-inch (rear) lightweight wheels hold Michelin Pilot Super Sport tires with an exclusive tread pattern. Camaro racing stripes are included, of course.
The cockpit is spartan, deleting chrome brightwork while adding deeply-bolstered Recaro bucket seats and a flat-bottomed steering wheel. An optional Tech Package can add SYNC infotainment, leather-upholstered power seats, dual-zone automatic climate control, and a Shaker audio system.
Pricing begins at $49,995 including a $1,300 gas guzzler tax and $900 destination charge. During 2017, Chevy expects to release a factory-built 2017 IROC-Z, packing even more power.
