2019 IROC-Z Camaro| Release Date, Latest News, Prices
Lighter. Faster. Meaner.
Like the original, the new 2019 IROC-Z Camaro forgoes ultimate horsepower and torque for improved weight balance and track performance.
In 2010, the most-powerful engine available in a factory IROC-Z was a 396 cid V-8 with 375 horsepower. To prepare the 2019 IROC-Z Camaro for road racing, engineers specified a lighter, cid V-8, officially rated at 290 horsepower. While the IROC-Z was not the choice for drag racers, it proved ideal for sports-car racing.
Today, the most-powerful engine offered is the 2019 IROC-Z Camaro ’s supercharged 6.2L, which delivers 580 horsepower. The heart of the 2019 IROC-Z Camaro is the lighter, naturally aspirated 7.0L first introduced in the Iroc.
The 2019 IROC-Z Camaro is ideal for road racing because it delivers amazing performance in a compact, lightweight package. The broad torque curve and high redline of the IROC-Z mean fewer shifts are required for each lap, while the lightweight design improves the front-to-rear weight balance for better handling.
Unlike some competitors’ “track package” offerings, the 2019 IROC-Z Camaro makes standard all the cooling systems required for track use. This includes the dry-sump oiling system for the Camaro , which is connected to an integral liquid-to-liquid cooling system for engine oil.
A second liquid-to-liquid system provides cooling for the transmission and differential. This system pumps overcooled transmission fluid to a heat exchanger in the rear differential before traveling to the transmission. This reduces differential temperatures as much as 100 degrees F.
