third gen camaro turbo v6 typhoon engine prototype

I remember seeing an article in a magazine about GM building a third gen camaro with a turbo 4.3. Does anybody know where i can find that article.

I think i have that in one of my old 80s motor trends.The car was purple with a weird wing.I will look when i get home and tell you the month/year/mag.You should be able to buy it on ebay for cheap.

Re: third gen camaro turbo v6 typhoon engine prototype

Good news!I just found it in the december 1989 motor trend.The car is called the evolution iroc.Starts on page 64.Its a pretty mean looking car.The car was a joing effort between the mag and chevy.They were disappointed that they only got a 0-60 in 6.2 and the 1/4 in 14.8@91.9 considering all of the money they put in it.

Kewl,wish I had that one to read.
How does that camaro compare to the 89 TTA pace car? Hope you have that issue of MotorTrend too.

Re: third gen camaro turbo v6 typhoon engine prototype

Found this thread in a search for other threads with possibly better scans of the articles.

But sadly I cannot. So I figured I'd post the scans I do have here in case anyone has not seen or read the article.

I've PDFd it.

95mph. U would think they would have did some tricks to get it to hook up and at least run some 13sec runs.
