What? No one likes Birds in this forum?

I think the boys in this forum cant handle the car in your signature, but I like the 1969 Firebirds I'm not sure what generation they were. You can see a white one on the chase in Bullit, it passes McQueen by like three times at different locations.

[DeViL]

Yeah that always had me confused, that white Firebird and the green Beetle, they passed both of those cars like 3 times going down different the same road. It was like instant replay at different camera angles.

I like the last generation Firebird

I'm gonna have to say third gen, not only because I have one, but because of the turbo anniversary which was, and is one of the fastest production cars made.

My good Friend Wes, running 12.00 seconds flat at the shootout !!

The 1997 ws6 convertable, fire engine red with white top and interier!!!

Can't say I blame em'. She is a 10-second beast...

That's not so bad, if you put a loud exhaust on it will feel "faster", honestly I've never timed my car, but its probably a 12 second car but it feels fast.

Yeah, my exhaust is extremely loud. I just dig into the throttle & pretend I'm at Lemans. Even though I'm only going 40mph.

I'm respondind to the gentlean that say the 3rd gen is best looking and fastest production firebird.. well for one the super muscular look of a 98+ Ws6 with Batwing and the thick spokes smoke the old 3rdgen.. though the 3rd gen was hot ..as far as fastest productin.. you need to keep up wit the times in 01-02 Ls1 were inplanted with some Ls6 parts.. a recenttest of an 01 Ws6 fully loaded with 2 people in the car and no track prep yeilded over 10-15 13.01 t 13.08 times.. i do not recall the 89 making it outof the 13'sat all maybe 13.3 was its officail time and the 99 Ws6 without the Ls6 mods did 13.5 consistanly a Formula 1le stipper Ws6 did 13.15 in99 also as tested by Popular mecanics.. so your old bird is not as fast .. unless you modded it and even then.. H/C/Nious and nothing else would put the Ws6 in about 11 flat with much ado..and that with a 75 shot.. the Ls1 responds masively to low shot of nos.. becuse of it superior brething cabaility
210 cc runner stock 2.02 intake and 1.60 exhaust.. do a heads and cam job and this car is a hoover vacume

I believe this thread was merely about which gen the person posting was partial to, and I am responding to Malet. This is a forum and something to share objective views with others that have the same interests. I do not need to "get with the times" as you've stated and am well aware of the 4th gens capabilities. You can quote me as I say here

I'm gonna have to say third gen, not only because I have one, but because of the turbo anniversary which was, and is one of the fastest production cars made.

. So read a little more careful before you go and step on someone without seeing this was not a war, but a very good thread to view.

Car & Driver, June 1989
20th Anniversary Pontiac Trans Am
0-60 4.6 sec, 1/4 mi 13.4@101mph
"This is a car for muscle-car mavens, pure and simple."

Which is very impressive today, and in 1989

[Mallet]

Allow me to appologize i was mearly expressing my view on your post.. i envey the owner of the 89 TTA.. they are/ wher the most unique and as you clearly stated ONE of the fastest production models that ever came out
1999
POP MECHANICS pre 01-02 ls6 changes
WS6 6speed
0-60 4.82 PPM 01-02 Automatic 1/4 mile 13.15 @107.9 WS6 13.01-13.08
consistant@104
i prefer not the Forth gen but the last 4 years of the 4th Gen they remenice of true muscledom with a V-8 sound.. and that muscular body

again alllow me to appologize if you think it was a dig.. i think 89TTA are great and have tremendous respect for them on the few occasin i've met up wit one.. they are dead on balls fast period.. and yes they llook good.. just not great ..to me

again i'm sorry i meantno harm

No Harm Done

[Mallet]

Man i screwed that post up

the 99's ran 13.15 stripped
the 01-02 ran 13 flat basically fullyloaded with t tops and all and a passenger


I should know this but i don't what was the actual rwhp no the advertised .. hell my firehawk stock was to be 345 flywheel it dynoed 321.1 bone stock in 80 degrees

i believe the gen 3 was a bit lighter of a car too

funny didn't anybody pick a Smoky and the Bandit gen or Sd 455.. thats the first car that beat my 71 couger with a 351 clevland and 4.56 gear cam blah blah,blam.. i was so impressed i was 17 i had never even seen the letters SD b4
