what a surprise the most popular style is the latest one with the most powerful engine.

Personally I like them all, I'm on my forth one! No other compares to a birds styling!
1976, 1977, 1981 and 2000

that was a tough one since I really like the late 2nd gen T/A and late 3rd Gen GTA styles, but i went with 98+. Theres something downright scary about a WS6 rolling up behind you looking like it wants to eat you alive

I voted 1967-1969 because its down right sexy

1967-1969
1974-1976
1982-1992
1998-2002

Thats my order. I see you seperated the 2nd gen and 4th gen into its subcategories of design style, but what about the Third Gen? :

(Major bodystyle changes)
1982-1984
1985-1990
1991-1992

My favorite is the 74-76 because that is how I feel in love with the Firebird/formula/trans am car.First car i had was a 1976 Firebird Formula ran high 12's and have been hooked ever since. Now I have a 99 trans am and it is #2 on my list

I think the 98-02 was the best because of the mean hood on the ws6 models. The 93-97 were alright but they didn't have the same mean look. My brother had a 83 bandit edition and i really like it. The 82-92 would have to be my second choice.

70-73 especially the Formulas, and not just because I have one, I have one because it is my favorite :-) You ever notice the Formula hood style of the 98-02 WS6 is so much like the original 70-73 Formula hood... Those scoops are just mean looking! I love'm all!

I gotta say the 68 Firebird 400 is my favorite, and in my opinion the best looking out there. I am partial though it was my first car.

77-81 are the best, I love the front end of both, the only reason i got a 79 was because of the fisher t-tops. but i hate the "turbo trans am" motor in the 80-81. second would have to be the last of the breed (98-02).

Same here, I think that I like the 70-73 just a little more.
