Car articles about Pontiac Firebird Convertible by year
In 1968, the Opel of the average citizen had just 45 hp, but its corporate brother GM/Pontiac had the Pontiac Firebird 400 with 330 hp. The magazine 'hobby' was able to test one of the first cars to reach Europe and came to the conclusion that less was more. The recommendation was to drive with six rather than eight cylinders, at a lower cost and with more driving pleasure. This report reproduces the original wording of the test at the time and explains why Heinz Kranz recommended less rather than more. The report is supplemented by archive photos from the time and a review of three generations of GM Firebird with gas turbines, which gave the Pontiac its name.
