Buy a hardtop manual Iron Duke third-gen Camaro because those have the lightest body panels to offset the shitty engine's lack of power. Swap in a high-reving LS7 engine and six-speed. Install massive boxy bolt-on fender flares, ICE-9 suspension upgrades, rollcage, and headlight covers. Replace dash with LCD race gauges and shift lights.
Enjoy having my own street legal bulletproof IMSA-style third-generation Camaro racecar.

Better worse idea. Build a turbo iron duke, cause why not.

Oh god that would be terrible .
Those engines couldn't hold power and oil even stock, much less turbocharged.

just buy any third gen. the berlinetta has the same body as the Z28. besides the 4 banger was the only reason it was the lightest was because of the motor itself. besides a v8 third gen is just as cheap right now.

Really? I heard rumors the Iron Duke cars has thinner front quarter panel metal and a lighter bumper. I haven't seen any Berlinettas in my local CL, just V8 or V6 3rd gens.

Part of me wants to see that car with a Bonneville SSEi v6 dropped in there.....the Supercharged 3800. Should bolt right up. honestly just bolt in. Works in the fiero making an instant 12 sec. car....It would improve the f/r balance as well, being something like 6 inches shorter than the duke overall.

most iron duke camaros I bet are in a junk yard. My grandpa bought an 82 iron duke camaro in like 84 and it had already went through 2 motors. They were utter garbage. But I've never heard of them of using lighter sheet metal for them. And I highly doubt it based on all the camaro literature I've read.

One day I'll have a TT LSX third-gen, just to troll the hell out of people. It'll probably be in a dark blue Iroc-style body
