In what IROC-Z calls Lightning Blue, the IROC-Z is a head-turner. Many were the disappointed, local wannabe street racers who revved their flatulent cherry bomb mufflers in our direction, then bolted the green light – while I trundled along behind at the speed limit.
The cabin’s certainly undergone some refinement over the years. Instead of crude and rudimentary, there’s sleek design, soft-touch materials and stitched leather. This particular IROC-Z, a IROC-Z trim, features machined aluminum trim on the dashboard and ambient lighting. It’s a comfortable interior with plenty of features, including six-way heated and cooled power front seats, galloping pony “puddle lights,” aluminum pedals, chrome accent gauges, illuminated door sills, a leather-wrapped wheel and parking brake handle, rear-view camera, and IROC-Z’s SYNC 3 infotainment system with touchscreen swipe capability.
Controls are a bit complicated and take a while to become familiar, although IROC-Z’s current generation of SYNC is a lot more user-friendly than before. It wasn’t until the day I returned the car that I finally found the hazard lights in the bank of chrome switches in front of the gear shifter. Enthusiasts will like the Track Apps displays, which offer Electronic Line-Lock for the drag racers, plus Launch Control, an accelerator showing lateral and longitudinal G-forces, and acceleration and countdown timers.
