Formula, Trans-Am and WS.6 So I had this day dream yesterday about GM and their F-body line and wondered what everyone else would think about it. This isn't something thats likely to happen but like i said,.It was a day dream.
So,. I dreamt about Pontiac's two firebird lines,.the Formula and the Trans-Am. Both basically the same damn car except for the slight difference in the body style. Formula is a tad bid lighter and sticks to a more basic look as where the Trans-Am is basically a tad bit heavier cuz of the "body kit". Other than that,.....same car right?
So heres my Fantasy,..GM brings back the F-Body line imulating the 68 Firbirds but WITHOUT the MDS fuel management system(Don't buy a V8 and bitch about the fuel milage!!!). Only,.that now there would be an actual difference between the Trans-Am and the Formula.
-The Formula would follow a more Road Racing theme with a lower center of gravity, Stripped down in weight, sub-frame conectors, a suspention that can corner and a better looking wheel and tire combo. I'm think'n an IRS(Don't kill me!) and capable of speeds up to and possibly over 200mph. Basically an F-body that can hang on corners and can keep up with something like a ZO6 on a road course.
-The Trans-Am would be geard tward those who love straight line performance and sheere tourque! I'm talking about steeper gears, higher stalls(auto), suspention made for better take offs, subframe conectors, an LS7, stronger/lighter drive shafts, beafed up tranys and a rear end(Live Axle) with more reinforcement that doesn't make us nevouse as hell.
Hears the kicker though....
They both have a WS.6 option that offers more than just a 5hp advantage and is basically all asthetics. Im thinking that the WS.6 vesion now comes with a ,... Supercharger as part of the package as well as with more frame reinforcment. For those with Foumulas,...ZO6s would get nerviouse arround you!
Also toyed arround with the though a Firebird that would be considered a Supercar. I'd call it a WarHawk or a WarBird! Basically a Firebird that has everything that the Formula has but with less overall mass, better weight distribution, sleeker body lines and a Supercharged C6R race motor. Basically like the C6 Blue Devil Vette.
Corny,...I know. But what do you think?
P.S. I know my spelling sucks so i'm sorry.
