Default soprano's - 4th Gen IROC-Z?

don't watch Soprano's that much anymore, but I did catch the finale the other night. Did anyone see the blue 93-97 Camaro that the kid crashed into the wall outside the club? It had a 3rd gen IROC-Z decal on it - WTF was that?

I saw it. I was confused as well.
I think it was a joke about when people used to say IROC stood for...Italian Retard Out Cruisin'...since it's a mob series.

For Laughs...

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought it had something to do with the return of the Fbody being delayed again. Did you hear the Soprano's 6th wont return until mid summer 2006? :O Kinda sounds like the Fbody

I saw it. One of the directors or prop guys probably use to have an IROC and thought more people were familiar with the IROC name- "someone throw a big IROC decal on that Camaro"! It sounded pretty good though. Too bad about the nose.

They guy has a Hummer and he is going to drive a V-6 Camaro with an IROC sticker on it?

Thanks. Go for em', I guess they really belong to GM anyway. They're transparent so you can use them on any background.

What happened to your grill badge? I thought it looked great. I'm normally not a big GFX guy but the front of your car is about as good as it gets. Real nice without being overdone.

And to reciprocate a little, I could go on at length about your site but I can't here (a lot of good content). But... that Michael Moore **** is right on. He needs his *** kicked real bad.

Later,
Jay

I didn't notice that the Camaro was a v-6. It didn't sound like one. But you're right, that's a strange car for him to be driving.

IROC stands for international race of champions.(IROC series racing where they used IROC Z's) Chevy lost the right to use it on the Camaro before the 4 th gen came out. It was able to be used on the Firebird.
