Why GM put the shitty weak as hell 305s in these cars I'll never know!!!! Built a beautiful car such as this and give it the performance of a pinto!!!! I have a 1987 Trans Am she has a real engine a 550 horse 406 stroker!!!! I think its sad to have to brake torque a car to get it to do a wimpy burn out I can roll onto the throttle at 30 MPH and fry the tires on demand!!!! If I was at this show I would show these guys what a real burnout is all about no holding the brake no having to stop to get started!!!!
Irocs with time appropriate accessories are absolutely gorgeous! If money weren't an issue I'd buy a couple of them and learn how to properly work on cars.
The reason the base model camaro and firebirds with the 305s were so weak was because chevy made them weak. The air flow was extremely restrictive stock. Let that badass motor breathe and stand back. You can hit 250hp easy by just getting a flat based 2" air filter with a spacer, headers, and cat delete, plus flowmaster 80 series. And adjust the timing by rotating distributor cap to about 3 degrees(positive). Chevy put the timing in the negatives a lot of the time to cut down on emissions and guzzling gas.
Got that right. When i first got my 86 Trans Am with its 305 it felt underpowered. With a new set of headers/full exhaust system and some other small things, the thing changed into a real Firebird once more. Also adjusting the timer into the sweet zone does indeed work wonders. That being said, i'm still upgrading to a stroker in the near future with the needed tranny upgrades/rear end. I just want my car along with its drivetrain to be like new....or in this case better then new.
Todd Rich no offence, but I don't know a single 1980's Camaro or firebird, that has stock timing... lol that just doesn't happen after 30+ years. and don't waste your time anybody trying to get power out of these 305's.. just get a 350, bore it .30 over, do a good crank, connecting rods and bearings.. then throw on a mild cam and a cheap set of heads.. you'll be around what a LS1 would do with a intake and exhaust. lol just sayin, we're still dealing with a cheap build here but, a 160mph car sounds better to me than a 130mph car. don't bother with the 305
gittyupalice96 That's how my car is, 30 over ZZ3 350 crate engine with the LT4 Hotcam and 1.6 roller rockers, and no emissions. It makes around 400hp and torque. It's a hell of a lot faster than the stock 305. The next car I do will be ls based though, for the money I have in the 350 I could have fuel injection and more power with an ls.
Man I can’t wait to get my 85 finished. 85 sport coupe that started life with a multi port 6. 355 medium cam, Eagle bottom end, Ported heads and intake, Edelbrock 650, and I haven’t decided on exhaust yet. Probably just a 40s series Flowmaster since I went old school on the build. Have a procharged 94 Z28 and a 15 SS mostly stock. 94 is barely the fastest out of all. Thanks for the video
Im 17 just got my 86 camaro a month or two ago all my money is going into it and then next year making the long trip from VA to IL 13 hour drive anybody else on the way going!? Meet up first time going love to meet some new people
Mike edge that was the government about hp and emissions aswell manafacturer in the 80s ,I agree if I owned an IRoc it would have to be a comfortable 450 hp in that lite car and I'd have fun with it lol.
Hp-wise they are weak per todays standard. The TPI's are are feisty machines with plenty torque. I have a 305Tpi 5spd and 3.42 rear in mine, and I feel it has enough power. On the other hand I live in a country with large mountains and narrow roads, which makes the whole sensation of speed different than a flat open and straight road with not much of a landscape. It's good for eating turns, and handles pretty damned good! If I were to do something it'd be to beef up the transmission and make her breathe abit easier.
@@kmas8229 what does the tpi mean vs just a regular 305? I want to build a 3rd generation camaro and I'm thinking of 305 because they're cheap and reliable. But a 350 has more power but is also more expensive.
ill probly post it tonight, i seen you there i shoulda came up and talked to u your car is really nice, you can see me in the background in gray to the left of the driveway
Wow, this car show did these cars no justice. They all look horrible, especially the maro with the ws6 hood. Stock 5.0s were so much better to drive I had a formula 350 back in the day, got a fox body and never looked back.
umm10years old do you not see my profile pic? clearly im 16 and i own and drive an 86 s10 long bed (7ft) with 3in body lft and4in shock with a V8 conversion (Chevy small block 305) with a Holley 4150-650cfm carb, Edelbrock high performance intake, and it has about 11:1 compression, what your lil fox body got?
I'm surprised I haven't seen any one tire fires lol my car had an open diff when it was stock and I could only spin one tire doing a burnout lmao but that is all about to change, first time I need new tires I'm gonna let them RIP!
@@gearheadAbe my car was a 92 RS Heritage Edition but to my surprise had a 3.08 open diff, huge disappointment lol, now I'm running a 3.73 Moser 12Bolt with TrueTrac LSD. I ran the stock engine with this setup for about a year but since I had sticky autocross tires I still couldn't manage a burnout lol so now NightmareZL1 features a LSA with TR6060 pull out from 2012 ZL1 once my first set of tires are done I'm gonna shred them!
none of these guys did actual manly burnouts. burnouts need to be at least 5seconds. my dad had an 87 firebird with a 350 sbc and he would roast them for 30seconds a burnout
when and where is thirdgenfest?? i have a 1992 camaro 25th anniv. Heritage edition that will not shut up until i take to this outting!!......it's like a little kid whining to go to Cedar Point.
Where is this at I would love to go plus if you have a 302 ford pony I'd love to blow your doors off with this 305 I'm running in the 86 z28 I haven't seen a stock 5.0 mustang yet that could take it
Difference between Japanese car meets and American car meets... The Japanese drive off quietly and respect their cars and those around them. Americans... I'm better than you are and watch me try to pull a weak burnout...
3rd gens all the way , dude at 1:00 killed the show😂😂😂
Probably driving a non tuned 2.8 with an automatic.

Yeah but keep in mind these cars are mostly stock and I would way rater watch then torque brake than watch a friggin ricer do donuts.
you know what fixes that? performance parts.
Had a 84 Camaro and 91 they both left me stranded all the time but id love to have another one love them body styles
Wish I was there
I like these years of the firebirds, camaro s, and mustangs better then the new and older ones no matter what anyone says they will always be awesome.
Xander Kresh i just bought a 92 rs
Very nice burnout and Camaro Iroc Z red, Pontiac Firebird Trans AM blue and Camaro RS 92 blue is beautifulls
I am right there with you on that
Personally like the 4th gens better
I’m a chev guy but I do like pontiacs as well
That Trans Am at 1:05 really showed some power
Irocs with time appropriate accessories are absolutely gorgeous! If money weren't an issue I'd buy a couple of them and learn how to properly work on cars.
I love this third generation of Camaro and Firebird, the best and my favorite

No crowds were harmed in the making of this video.

The nicest one of the bunch!
@ 207 you can see that camaro has nuts hanging lol
Using the brakes😂😂😂😂
1:00 and that’s a stock 305 for ya lmao
i didn't see a one person use a turn signal.
i'll alert the authorities.
+newking70 Ha Ha
I wasn't aware that you had to signal everytime you leave a driveway/parking lot...
that burnout at 1:00 is the best
Саша Худобородов 140 hp 305 v8 lol
that asshole is going to put a hole in the ozone layer with that burnout
😂🤣😂🤣😂
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
someday I'm going to make the road trip! this is just always awesome to see! awesome vid!
Didn't see a one rolling bout 15 mph putting it to the floor burning them up...ALWAYS power braking...
Not impressed...
my favorite bodystyle for both camaro/firebird but damn those cars are weak . would have to ls swap one of these

The RS at the end was good it displayed 3rd gen stop and then punch with a good launch ,fun little cars.
Where is this fest at? And when does it start? Is their specific time and date? Because I have a 1984 Chevrolet Camaro IROC-Z/28 w/T-tops
man I hope I can make it to next years there is a lot of knowledge and nice thirdgens!!
Not one of these guys stay in it and just smoke the shit out of the tires even that fire hawk
this view is way better than the one i got, your car sounds amazing in person! way louder than i thought
yea. next year for sure.
what color will it be?
anyone fucking with a full posi conversion on thier 3rd gen camaros hit me up i wanna do it but wanna see how it is
Oh the firebirds amazing
I miss my old Camaro

Cant wait for third gen fest this year! cars coming back way different than last year ;)
Too cool. Love 3rd gens

Nope
The old school Camaros is the bomb
What kind of exhaust do you have on that?
thanks. you posting the video you have?
yes it was so awsome. I had a blast.
I wanna see more!!!!!!!!
i need to know where this is plz tell meeee
2 words..... poor tires

except the bills you look because your fox body is a ford and they break down
stephen sargent wow, nice reply. Made no sense. Bills? What?
the thing with the post was a joke don't get butt hurt because you know its true,
your ford breaks and you cant keep paying for the bills

You can swap it to a LS engine.
Dirk Bravo; Lead singer 10 foot screws LS swaps are expensive. Vortec swap it
This makes me happy. My father had a second gen and had to give it up because of tough times. Some day I will have a third and make him proud 😁
Only in America:)!!!
hell yeah the 2 min mark :) dats me

does a 3rd gen need a roll cage to make 450 hp?
It would be good but it's not needed. Subframe connectors are needed tho
There was a traffic jam
Gotta love 3rd gen F-Bodies!!
my camaro would put the all to shame lol
sad
Mustang's are way better those cars are heavy and slow as fuck ,sound like shit too with that fake dual exhaust
These are the weakest burnouts ever I’ve seen
1:03 so fail... driver fail...
1:25😍
Geeks
Nice, check mine out posted today! 83' Bird
beautiful cars but sissy drivers, my god get some smoke going, :-{
Awe that was cute
Where is this at I would love to go plus if you have a 302 ford pony I'd love to blow your doors off with this 305 I'm running in the 86 z28 I haven't seen a stock 5.0 mustang yet that could take it
Shit 302 smokes a 305 stock for stock
lol 80s slow cars
Sad just sad 😢 the one firebird couldn't even spin the tires, big heavy under powered cars hey guys sell those cars and buy mustangs
I've done better burnouts in my Chevy Blazer...
Some of the most pathetic burn outs I've ever seen!!!
SJC Cobra
atleast they didnt lose controll and hit a crowd
SJC Cobra lol and they have like 230hp stock what did you think was going to happen.
SJC Cobra lol and isn't it funny how the ls1 stock still hangs with the sc cobra
most of them probably love their cars and don't want to ruin the engine, transmission and their tires.
The only way you can impress a cobra owner with a burnout is if the car burning out ends up in a crowd
My mums Toyota corolla would do better burn outs
cant wait for the other videos!
Lame burnouts
lame...
hahahahahahahahahahahahaahahahahaaaaa
BOOOOOO
G.M. should be ashamed of themselves. the worst Camaros of all time.
Victoria Louden No, dumbass, they were one of the best.
Difference between Japanese car meets and American car meets...
The Japanese drive off quietly and respect their cars and those around them.
Americans... I'm better than you are and watch me try to pull a weak burnout...
Michael Bailey respect they're car? so holding the gas while in neutral and putting useless fart cans on your Honda sure is respecting your car huh?
