I opted for the "90" theme, minus the "9" as is boat currently goes ZERO, that's why I only got the rear half of the paint job!!!!
IROC is the perfect name for the pipe smoking boss of the big waves........just spell it out so know one gets confused.....I Reek Of Cologne.....because I'm sure that guy would.

I wont deny it. Where I come from, if you were a cool guy, you had a IROC, GTA, or Grand National. And most important, you had T-Tops, wore a white dago Tee, and your hair was gelled, and it was assumed you sold dope for a living. If you had a Mustang LX, you were a broke hillbilly.

Looks like the idea is already catching on...I hear this boat can now run through 6 footers with ease, and evidently looks 10 feet longer at the dock. Crockett and Tubbs approve...

Heck, even a Monte Carlo with T-Tops outranked a Mustang. I grew up in NW Indiana and miss my T-Top Monte everyday.

And your Camaro or TA wasn't worth a crap if it didn't have the 5.7 either.

That's a TRUE 26!! If you are boat shopping, that would be comparable size wise to a 35 Fountain. You have to subtract 6FT for the beak, and 3ft for the platform.

YES! I remember my buddy bought a 91 Camaro RS. It looked cool, as it was white. But it had a 305 TBI, not even TPI. It was a TURD!

Monte's were cool, as were the 442 Olds, but they just never had a engine that had any Balls from the factory. Maybe if they would have carried that body after 87 they woulda offered the 5.7 TPI.

A buddy of mine just a few months ago picked up a 92 Mustang LX. It has 2k original miles. Literally 2k. Looks and smells showroom. First thing he said when he got it, "what a dog"!! They seemed much faster back then. But I suppose today, when a family suv does 0-60 in 5 seconds, it would feel like a dog.

I remember getting walked in my 5 speed IROC by a Quad4 grand am GT and a GLHS Omni in the early 90's. I put a #1 sticker on it and told everyone my IROC would take any pot hole on the road and 60 mph all day long. If that didn't work I would invite them to race me through speed bumps.

I have to hear about the old tanks in this neck of the woods too. "ya but I can do 60 in anything" when honestly so can I, cause 60 is 3200 rpm Maybe the cig is better in 8-12 footers, but I don't boat the great lakes in November so I don't care. I wanna go fast when it is nice out, ya know, 95 percent of the conditions we see while boating.
