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.

 

K,..that was a bit long but let me know what you think.

Thanx!

 

Cool ideas for sure! Seems a lil backwards though, as the Formula is more of the straight line car, and the TA for auto cross. Obviously GM won't make anything that is within respectable range of the ZO6 with out the price tag. I like the idea's alot though!

 

would you pay 80g's for an F-body....cause thats what they'd charge

 

Ya know what,..........I think your right.

 

But like i said,...I was day dream'n.

 

If it could beat the **** out of a ZO6,Viper and a Ford GT,.......HELL YES I WOULD!

 

TRANS-AM ....is the original factory AUTO-CROSSER. Not meant at all for straight line performance at all really.

 

I agree you got em backwards. But if you think anything like this will actually ever happen.... then you are still dreaming!

 

Gotcha. ..... I'll repeat myself again for the 3rd time though,.."This isn't something thats likely to happen but like i said,.It was a day dream." lol,....I'm not stupid! I know it ain't gonna happen. I was just day dream'n and thought that i'd tell everyone what I was thinking.

 

I like the looks of the TA.

 

warhawk would be interesting. maybe a warhawk block and heads to go along with it. but once again. here we are dreaming.

 

Wow, your poll is outta control You're really testing the folks with A.D.D.

 

yeah i could not read all the options so i just did not vote ... lol

 

I just can't wait to get a ride in the new camaros. That's all I have to look foward to in life. by the way I read one of the main car magazines, (car and driver, etc. I don't remember which one) that the new challenger doesn't have ac.

 

lol,....Yea,.......I'm try'n to compensate for my A.D.D.. Hey,....I was try'n to take the sucker seriously! But it is what it is. It was just a thought.

 

Yea,.........enjoy the MDS fuel management system!
(Why would u buy a V8 and then bitch about the fuel milage?!)

 

tooo many options, not enought attention span

 

I dont understand y u care if it has MDS? Unless the system has been known to fail while WOT i dont see nothing wrong with it but i dont know much about it either... Making a V8 with better fuel economy and still have great power to the rear wheels is not only smart... But a way to get the cars out on the road.. wait til gas is 4-5 bucks a gallon then come back and ask y ppl bitch about fuel milage...

 

My head hurts. Buy a TA/Formula for 10g and mod it the way you want to. But good ideas haha.
