David, meet Goliath. Actually, that’s not really fair. The Firebird isn’t exactly a slow car to start with, but the Challenger SRT8 is pretty powerful. Unfortunately for it, it’s also heavy. Even though these cars aren’t putting down a thousand horsepower and running nine second quarters, this is a good race. I’ll take a close […] More »

I’m not sure what else I would expect when you put a Camaro and Firebird side-by-side. I mean, besides a drag race, a huge, smokey, dual burnout is the only natural result. There’s no real other information besides these two beasts being featured in a magazine shoot. Then again, what other information is really necessary. […] More »

I’ll be the first to admit I have a soft spot for fourth Gens., so when I see one that’s a beast, I have to pay it some respect. How about a 468 cubic inch all-motor setup good for 615 whp through a TH400 and a 9-inch? Now that’s BEAST MODE! The combo belongs to […] More »

Early in the production run of the LS equipped fourth generation F-Bodies there was a stealthy Pontiac WS6 that’s not to be confused with the Trans-AM version.

While I’m on the kick of cool GM commercials I couldn’t help but harken back to 1998 and the string of cool Pontiac Firebird and Trans-Am commercials. Do you remember these awesome snippets? The one where the new (for ’98) Trans-am eats the car sitting at a red light is just awesome, especially the massive […] More »
