Platicando ayer con algunos miembros del Foro surgió la duda sobre cuál fué el primer año en que salió esta opción. (IROC)
Bueno, pues el primer año (para los que tengan esa duda) fué 1985.
Aquí les dejo algo de lo que pasó ese año y mas abajo el link a toda la excelente información F-Body año por año desde su primer año. (está de pelos)
--- 1985 ---
New noses for all Camaros and new, deeper valances and front
spoiler for the Z28 and newly introduced IROC-Z. The NACA style
hood ducts were replaced by simulated hood louvers on the Z28.
Z28 got new `grid' pattern taillights. The number of lower body
stripes grew from 2 to 4 on Z28 with a body colored gap between
the top 3 stripes. Double pointer speedometer was dropped and
replaced with single pointer unit.
Berlinetta aluminum wheels became an extra cost option and Berlinetta
now came standard with its own unique wheel covers that were styled
to look like the optional aluminum wheel. The Berlinetta aluminum
wheel also became an option on the Sport Coupe but with argent accent-
ing rather than gold and a `Camaro' center cap rather than `Berlinetta'.
Lower body pinstiping on the Berlinetta was revised by an additional
stripe.
The new IROC-Z option was available on the Z28 and came with new 16x8
aluminum wheels, P245/50VR-16 Goodyear Gatorback tires, fog lamps,
CAMARO on front license plate panel, .5 inch lowered ride height,
body colored valances, Delco-Bilstein rear gas shocks, special front
struts, increased spring rates, special jounce bumpers, 5 degrees of
caster (up from 3.5 on Z28) in front wheel alignment, `wonderbar' front
frame rail stiffener, special valving in steering for increased steering
effort, larger rear stabilizer bar with stiffer bushings, IROC-Z ex-
terior decals and interior dash badge, and a thinner two-color lower
body stripe.
`Tuned Port Injection' (TPI) motors introduced. Corvette got 350
version (L98) and Camaro got 305 version (LB9); available in Z-28 or
IROC-Z. LB9 was available with automatic only. L69 H.O. 305 was only
available in IROC and only with 5 speed manual. L69 production was
restricted half-way (April 26, 1985) through the model year.
MFI V-6 LB8 motor introduced to replace carbureted LC1 V-6. Had simi-
lar port injection as LB9 TPI V-8.
All manual transmissions now 5 speeds.
7.5 inch rear end dropped and replaced with a new 7.625 (7 5/8) inch
rear end for all Camaros.
G92 (performance axle ratio) only available on IROC-Z for 1985.
