As a proud owner of an '87 IROC-Z, I was excited to dive into this DVD expecting deep technical insights. The reality? It's more of a reality show than an educational piece.

The format pits two teams against each other in a bolt-on modification competition. While the concept sounds fun, the execution feels shallow. Watching them slap on basic performance parts without any real engineering depth left me craving more substance.

What really grinds my gears? The historical inaccuracies. When you're dealing with classic American muscle, getting the facts right matters. The cover art deception (showing a non-IROC) sets the tone for disappointments to come.

That said, there's some entertainment value if you approach it as mindless car TV rather than serious automotive content. The drag racing footage delivers that classic V8 roar we all love, even if the modifications are elementary.

For actual technical guidance, you're better off with factory service manuals. This belongs in the 'guilty pleasure' category rather than the 'must-have' section of your car library.
