Hey guys what's up this is my first time posting here, well i this last weekend i bought me a 1989 iroc, it has a new gm 350 H.O. engine, with rebuilt 700r4, and 9 bolt posi rear end. On my way to work today i popped my cherry i completely killed a new nissan 350z, the guy got all pissed off saying i took of early, well we lined up again and the son of a whore takes off early so launched and stille killed him by two cars. The guy i bought car from said my IROC has about 330rwhp.

That must suck. I took off most of the a/c besides heater box, (i still need the no a/c airbox, which i should be getting this weekend) but i have absolutely no a/c. The f***** car is a heater it self in the summer, shes all black and stores in all the heat.

Alright, let's settle this, somebody out there has to have a huge hill they know of. We'll take up a donation pool, tow both your asses up there and you two will coast drag down the hill. Will have to be a multple lane hill so that those who are spectating can watch the start of the race at the top, hop in our RUNNING camaro's and get to the bottom in time to see the finish :)
Outta be fun. Hell I'll bring a keg.

it's a 9-bolt rear end, it's alot stronger than a 10 bolt rear end. Only some of the camaros and trans am got them.

I may be wrong here but aren't 9 bolt's made by FORD??? :confused:I thought it was more of a toss up between a Chevy 12 Bolt and a Ford 9 Bolt as to which was "tougher"????:confused:
Anyway, to me... having a Ford rear in a Maro is like a truckdriver wearing pink silk panties... but that's just my opinion.:rofl:

to true, I agree because I really think his 2.8 will beat your stupid accord, sorry but you already got on my bad side. I know my Camaro stands up to a 99 ACCORD and his 2.8 having 5, FIVE horsepower less than mine will more than overkill your old Accord.

Mudstains I'll buy but rustangs is old... c'mon RS92 I thought you were a hip young guy. Mustagnets don't rust anymore b/c they're all plastic. Crustangs = the guys with crusty gel hair with the cheesy little ricer like moustaches that wear the gold chains hanging out the neck of their shirts and their pants hanging off their asses. The poeple who drive em look "crusty".

very very nice ride, and nice choice in years ;) i certainly love my babies. Ive got pretty much the same IROC as you cept ive got the factory 240hp L98 instead of the HO. cant wait to get her back on the street.
As far as the 9 bolt, it is not a 9 inch rear end. it is a 7.75in rear end. made by an australian company that was bought out by Borg Warner, the company is still around, but i havent asked them about parts availability for the unit in our rear end. Which has a designation like M75 or something, i dont rememer right now. Its a helluva lot stronger than the 10 bolt due to several design differences, and its bad ass. Its pure GM baby, nothing blue oval about it.
and welcome to the forum, always nice to have another running camaro around ;)
