Below you will see a link to a post that was supposed to be discussing the next Camaro. However, I seem to be butting heads with the guy named IZ28 that seems hellbent on proving the IROC-Z is a better handling car than any 4th gen ever made.

I find this very hard to believe considering the improvements in the 4th gen front suspension plus the availablility of 17" tires later on. He's quoting imaginary kid pad numbers like they are gospel.

If anybody is interested, I could use some fact-based assistance. He claims 3rd gens still dominate F-stock to this day...I kinda find this hard to believe.

Not that I am anti-thirdgen, I've owned two of them, including an IROC, so don't take my opposition to this guy the wrong way. I just don't agree with his "facts."

In 1985, I bought an IROC-Z new off the showroom floor. In 2001, I bought a Camaro SS new off the showroom floor after putting over 200,000 miles on the IROC. Although I loved the IROC and it took me through many of life's adventures through the years, including two wives, I must say it never handled or had power like my '01 SS. I know there was more flex in the chassis because the hood moved and the T-tops creaked when I hit small bumps in the road. I also owned two 1967 fbodys, and I must say with each new generation great improvements have been made in all areas.

There's a guy that I autox with on occasion that drives an '89 T/A 1LE in F stock. He really turns some great times inspite of the car rolling and rocking in every direction on soft springs and skinny tires. This guy is one hell of a driver, and I would like to see what he could do with a Z06. Point is, the driver is 90% of how a car turns.
