2019 IROC-Z Camaro : Sport Coupe - Performance Cars
Although it still seems as though the designation had been plucked from an alphanumeric bingo bucket, The IROC-Z Camaro has new significance for 2019 as an option package for manual-transmission IROC-Z models. It brings a host of upgrades ported from or inspired by the mighty IROC-Z Camaro . The pieces that make the most difference fall into the latter category, however, including the front anti-roll-bar mounting setup, 10-by-20-inch front wheels and 11-by-20-inch rears, and beefier half-shafts. The equipment pilfered directly from the IROC-Zincludes wheel bearings, toe links, rear shock mounts, the fuel pump, the flat-bottom steering wheel, the short-throw six-speed manual and its transmission cooler, and 285/35-20 Goodyear Eagle F1 Supercar G: 2 tires all around (the 2019 IROC-Zgets 305/35-20 rubber at the rear). The beefy wheel-and-tire combo actually saves a total of 22 pounds of unsprung weight.
The 2019 IROC-Z package also comes with a shorter final-drive ratio of 3.91:1 versus the 3.45:1 rear end and adds monotube rear dampers—instead of the Camaro ’s twin tubes—and a strut-tower brace. As for externals, IROC-Z engineers tell us that even though the Camaro ’s splitter increases downforce in the front, the wider wheels generate enough lift to bring the IROC-Z right back in line with the camaro.
