Hi Everyone,
We are looking at an 88 camaro and the guy selling it told us it is a ZZ28. I have never heard anything about that and wondered if that is different than a Z28.
ThanQ for your reply

He has a speech impediment.

 

In 1988 only two Camaro versions were made. The Sport coupe and IROC-Z. The Z28 or LT name was not used at all. If the speedometer only goes up to 115 it is a Sport coupe. '88 IROC's with either TPI motor had 145MPH speedometer. Is the engine Tuned Port Injected? If yes it is an IROC. Look at the 8th digit in the vin#: E=170H.P., F=220H.P. 305(TPI), S=V-6, 8=230H.P. (TPI) Now if the engine has been replaced with a GM crate motor that might explain a little something. They sell an engine called the ZZ4. It can be carburated or be used with the TPI. It is rated at 355H.P. Just thinking he might have said the motor is ZZ something. Does the guy speak good English?

 

Not all TPI engines were designated with the IROC name. Some were just Z28.

 

only in 1988 it is the case.

 

Is it possible that it would be an IROC-Z Z28, I didn't see it but apparently that is what is on the side of the car.

Not that I don't believe you, but can you send me a link of where you found it?

 

Buy a copy of "Camaro white book" $15. Its on page 110.

 

Maybe it's a car built by somebody who called it a ZZ28? You know, like the LG Motorsports cars are "G2".

 

LG actually had a "ZR28" package that was closer than the G2.

 

you could always just look at the RPO codes to find out...

 

Simple fact for simple people, there is NO SUCH MODEL CAMARO AS A Zz28. Any nitwit can put decals on a car and call it what he/she wants. Look I have a RS396 and its stock.

 

i dont understand what your saying.. i have an 84 z28.. dash badge, bumpber badges, and side badges also.. pretty sure its not a "fake"

 

What don't you get about there being NO such model as a Zz28 ????

 

I didnt get why you would say that becuase obviously he just misspelled it and nobody else in the thread so far had a problem with it
