1988 Chevrolet Camaro Z28 IROC-Z 5.7 Tuned Port Injection from North America
Summary:
An excellent, loud, very cool and fast ride that is worth every penny
Faults:
Heater Core exploded around 145,000 miles. Lots of tools, two guys, and an afternoon.
Fuel Pump beginning to show signs of failure.
The 1988 computer had some trouble with the intake modification I performed on the car. It seems that an increased cold air flow upset the O2 sensor, which periodically triggered the check engine light.
General Comments:
The 5.7 liter 350 with the stock 700R4 transmission, on 3.73 Borg Warner gears makes for a very fun and very fast ride.
One of the meanest looking sets of decals and stripes.
Has had lambskin seat covers on since mid 1990's, so seats and general interior are perfect.
I couldn't be any happier with the car, except that the passenger side seat is a little uncomfortable. (due to raised passenger side floor ride height).
Would you buy another car from this manufacturer? Yes

I have an 88 Camaro and it's a beautiful car... Gets me from A to B everyday... I've never had a major problem with it... And to make it fast - just put a turbo on it... And you've got a beast... For a V6...
