I say save the money that you would be putting into the Iroc, and put it towards the 95. Cuz once you get the Iroc, the Mod bug is going to bite.....

Actually......I just noticed that you are modding a 3.4. I voted to buy the Iroc. Trust me, you will love owning a V8.

Well if you do buy the IROC would you be selling off the 95 or just keeping 2 cars?

i'd mod the 95. IROCs are tight, but i prefer the looks of a 4th gen and besides, IROCs arent even that powerful...

x2 the 305tpi is really nothing, get an LT1 if you want a cheap v8.i bet that iroc is proabably what 200-225hp?

Since you're planning on keeping both car's I say go with the IROC, if you have to choose just one then keep the '95.

Get the IROC. I'm looking at an 85 T/A right now for a daily driver. Hoping no one buys it before I get the chance to save up some more money for it & the guy lowers his too-high price.
