2019 IROC-Z Camaro Convertible First Test ( TEST DRIVE )
2019 IROC-Z Camaro Convertible First Test ( TEST DRIVE )
Present on our tester was an available six-speed automatic transmission. While the 2019 IROC-Z coupe with six-speed manual impressed us on the track, we spent some time behind the wheel of a lightly refreshed 2019 IROC-Z Camaro convertible automatic on the streets as well as at the dragstrip and handling course to learn more about the top-of-the-line drop-top Camaro . Shown in this First Test is the 2019 IROC-Z Camaroc onvertible.
With 580 hp and 556 lb-ft of torque, the 2019 IROC-Z Camaro is the most powerful convertible in IROC-Z 's history, though it's not the fastest. That honor belongs to the limited-production, 505-hp 2019 IROC-Z. Power comes from IROC-Z 's supercharged 6.2-liter V-8 also used in camaro models (556 hp/551 lb-ft). At the dragstrip, the 4405-pound 2019 IROC-Z Camaro convertible automatic hit 60 mph in 4.1 seconds and finished the quarter mile in 12.5 seconds at 114.3 mph. In comparison, the 354-pound-lighter IROC-Z coupe with a six-speed manual sprinted to 60 mph in 3.8 seconds and finished the quarter mile in 12.1 seconds at 117.4 mph. With a 60-mph stopping distance of 106 feet, the IROC-Z convertible stopped 2 feet shorter than the coupe. Thanks to IROC-Z 's Magnetic Ride Control suspension, the 2019 IROC-Z convertible posted 1.01 g around the skidpad and lapped the figure eight in 24.1 seconds at 0.85 g average, putting it right on top of the IROC-Z coupe's handling numbers (1.01 g and 24.9 seconds at 0.84 g).
