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.

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 »
