Pontiac Firebird - 330 hp just for fun

March 19, 2014 — Heinz Kranz 28

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.

Pontiac Firebird Trans Am - babbling for a sly dog

March 23, 2016 — Bruno von Rotz 63

In 1977, Pontiac presented a revised Firebird, the most powerful version of which, the "Trans Am", had a 6.6-liter V8 engine. Although the coupé was not suitable as a dragstrip racer, it was all the more suitable for leisurely gliding along the highway. And after the movie "Smokey and the Bandit" at the latest, half the world knew about the car. This vehicle report briefly tells the story of the Firebird model and shows a 1978 Trans Am in current pictures and its brothers in historical footage. A sound sample is also included.
