Re: GTO vs. Trans Am

The Firebirds had a compromised rear suspension. Those leaf springs made for slightly more trunk and back seat space in an otherwise pretty low platform. But high horsepower and lots of tire make a live axle and leaf springs to the funky chicken; axle tramp, wheel hop and unintentional rear wheel steering. The 4 link A-body set up was better.
