Good Idea??

hey, im new to the camaro treads, but I have a question. I might be buying a 1989 IROC, and I would probibly be driving it everyday,it has 90K on her, and is almost perfect, but are these things good for that, will they last long, w/ no probs??? and whats the gas mileage like on one of these, I believe its the 350, but it also might be the 305. Thanx !!:grinyes:

i have a friend who drives an 85 iroc with the 5.7 tpi as a daily driver....he gets like 14-15mpg

Ouch, not for my wallet.

Highway mileage can get up to 25 (don't play lead foot). Mixed driving 15-20, depending on traffic.
As far as dependability...it really depends on weather the car was taken care of and got its regular oil changes, filter changes, etc.

If it is the 305/350 it will last upwards of 300k mi without a rebuild it just depends on if the previous owner beat on it or not.

i have a 120,000 on my 305 and it don't smoke what so ever and it don't use a drop of oil.

yep....my 92 rs had 140k+ and was in a lot better shape than the engine in my 98

sounds like these things are built to last, I think I just might have to get it then. still gets better gas mileage than my truck which is at like 13 MPG, babying it, lol, plus I'm sure it doesnt have a 26 gallon tank so it doesnt cost 50+ to fill her up.

yeah if you dont beat it around you'll easily get over 200k

Are you sure it's a Chevy?
