Re: 1992 Camaro Z28 1LE Heritage (ZO3) registry

Yes, that is the car. I was never able to make contact again and he has probably passed away by now. I was able to locate his obituary and he passed in 2018.

Welcome to ThirdGen! I’m guessing that you posted on the wrong thread. This one has nothing to do with top speed.

Re: 1992 Z28 vs Irocs

I’m a little partial to the 92 Z’s, but I’ve always liked the entire Thirdgen car series of Z28’s and IROC’s. Buy what you like and “never” buy these cars as an investment.

Re: IROC-Z vs Trans am GTA

When Ste. Therese closed, there was also an agreement with CAW that when/if the Camaro came back, it would be built in Canada. That’s why the Gen 5 was built in Ontario.

I wouldn’t disagree with your assessment. I just think it’s difficult to fake a car that shows 100, 200, 300 miles, but it would be much easier for a car that claims to have 10,000, 20,000 miles....
