1989 Mustang GT vs. 1989 Camaro IROC-Z
The 1989 IROC had considerable upgrades from the 88 model. In 89 horsepower was increased by 25 and torque was increased by 50. The increase in power was due to the switch to a 350 block for 89. This was the first time in years the Camaro could compare to the 5.0 Mustang.
