Trans Am Depot Company has done a nice job with creating a modern Firebird from modifying a Camaro SS inside & out! I wish Pontiac was still around. GM held that division back so much that it backfired on them when they needed that Bail Out money from Uncle Sam. I still remember being shocked when hearing about GM Permanently Shutting Down the Pontiac Division. I was sad about Oldsmobile but understood it. I wasn't surprised at the rest either, Saab, Saturn were given a good start but lost their identity within the GM Parts Bin as time passed. There were a few more divisions that were money pits and I thought for sure Buick was one of them even though it was their 3800 Supercharged V6 Engine that helped Pontiac sell cars. That's when I found out that Buick sold more vehicles overseas (China) than Pontiac sold in the States. I wish it was possible for Pontiac to return. Pontiac was never allowed to compete with Chevrolet. They could never have their own version of the Corvette. The Fiero was supposed to be the start in that direction but man did ol GM Kick em in the balls on that attempt. I had an 87 Fiero GT and I dropped a 3800 series 2 Supercharged drive train in it along with some other small mods and that car was fun to whip around... it was cramped for interior space but that car handled great. Still the cheapest & easiest restoration project for beginners available.

Love the 10th Firehawks. SLP should have done it in 2002 instead since that was the last year of the Firebird and more collectors/enthusiasts waited until then which reduced the sales of the 2001 Firehawks. It would have been the best combo - last year of the Firebird + anniversary Firehawk so the last and best. I certainly would have bought one but I ended up waiting until the last year. Even though a few 1991 Formulas were made into Firehawks, 1992 was pretty much the 1st year you could get a Firehawk. Love Motorweek since the 80s!

SLP was founded by Ed Hamberger, whose previous claim to fame was making second rate oil pans. So it was no surprise to any of us in New Jersey that this outfit was "all fluff, no stuff". There WAS an honest to goodness company focused only on making products that REALLY woke up the TPI motors of the time, called MRP (Modified Resource Products). SLP would use their high-powered lawyers, and got MRP to change their name to Performance Resource, but they ultimately had to fold. I was there, in the late '80s / early '90s, at Raceway Park -- their products were getting trashed. Identical cars with simple bolt-on's were faster than those with their exotic intake manifolds. I vividly remember one rich kid, with an '88 GTA notchback, saying how he was going to take Chuck Jenks (SLP's lead "engineer") home in a body bag, because after all their mods, his car was SLOWER THAN STOCK ! The company was in the right place at the right time, but thankfully anyone with a TPI car back then could turn to Lingenfelter to make their cars truly faster.

Not even close! MotorWeek has never been known for their ability to get accurate track times especially on f-bodies. These cars especially the Camaro run stock 12.70’s-13.3 1/4 times. Depending what model and package you have.

Google the 0-60 on a 2022 Camry TRD. 5.1 0-60 same as this car. Read’em and weep.
@ragingbull94mtx2 жыл бұрын
@@austinfrazier7325 You're cherry picking. Of all the google hits, only 1 claims 0-60 in 5.1 seconds and that's (surprise, surprise) a *dealership* website. (Obviously has an incentive to embellish if they want to move the metal). All of the independent tests from car magazines show 0-60 times in the 5.6-5.8 second range. Which is still respectable for a front-drive family sedan. But there is no way it's going to keep up with the lighter and more powerful Camaro/Firebird.

GMC should have gotten the Axe, not Pontiac. It literally makes the same trucks but more wood, better audio, slightly differently styling and maybe slightly better technology that can just go straight to chevy anyway.
