Default 09 IROC Camaro

I think it would be cool if they came out with the Iroc again just like the corvette is doing the ZR1! That was just a random thought....what do you guys think?

Yeah, it's not supposed to be done. It's pretty much a test mule for body accessories. Besides, the hocky stripes pointedly say "RS"

If Camaros aren't going to be used in the IROC series (it's dead huh? that sucks) they better not stick an IROC sticker on the door... At least in my opinion that would be lame as hell.

Yeah no sponsorship killed the IROC series. Sad because those were awesome races to watch on tv and even better in person. Oh well I personally love the 3rd gen IROCs, but they don't need to make them again. I would love to see an RS/Z28 or RS/SS option with a v8 and hideaway headlights like the 1st gen Camaros.
