Holy **** you guys have some expensive *** turd-gens up there!!! Over 10k for an Iroc is retarded.

http://orlando.craigslist.org/cto/4153586050.html $4700
http://orlando.craigslist.org/cto/4187151888.html $3900
http://lakeland.craigslist.org/cto/4201260447.html $4500

**edit** Now that I think about it, instead of stuffing my old stock shortblock motor into a tin can ricer like an RX7 or 240 it would be way easier to get a third gen roller for ~500 bucks and throw it in there - they are pretty light too, and it will bolt right up without needing all the swap parts.

Its reduced friction on the lights and hence has decreased non-rotational inertia and thats equivalent to an additional 100whp.

Its 'about 10s'. Ricer maths would put him in the 10.4 @ 137mph.

What's your take on that, HiO?
Only in front......you need to put tractor tire fluid in the rears for traction.

It does.....but that reduces the coefficient of friction.

Hello, World Record.
really....4's.....I was thinking more like 2's

Watch 3rd gens on ebay. Clean low mile cars go for about $15k~

Dad's 85 IROC has about 23kmiles and has been garage kept. It's like new.

Why people are paying the prices today for a 3rd gen Camaro, Mk3 or Mk4 is beyond me.

Found a 2002 4x4 chevy syep side that has 185k miles n its going for almost 10k. Is it a good buy? Anything i should be afraid of? The bed is all scratched up but i plan on spraying bed liner in it and it needs new head lights.
