1988 Pontiac Firebird Formula 350 5.7l Lt1 Fast!! Professionally Painted on 2040-cars
Gilbert, Arizona, United States
This 1988 Pontiac Firebird has had a lot of TLC and money put into it to make it a great car. While it is not perfect it is ready to be driven and enjoyed.
The exterior of the car is in nearly perfect condition with a NEW two stage black paint job that was professionally done. NO dings, dents or rust anywhere on the car. The old rotten weather stripping has been replaced to keep the car tight form the outside elements. The glass is all in perfect condition with NEW tint on the side and rear window to keep the sun out and give the car an aggressive stealth look. The old rotten rubber rear spoiler was replaced before paint with a NEW factory correct rear fiberglass spoiler that will last for years. The tires are brand NEW 245/50r16 Cooper Zeon all weather tires mounted on the factory aluminum 16" WS6 wheels. Under the Hood is where this car really shines. The original and powerful 5.7L LT1 has been fitted with Edelbrock aluminum heads, Edelbrock intake, Edelbrock headers, Comp RV cam, K&N intake, high volume injectors, Custom 3" exhaust with flomasters and exhaust cutouts, Accel ignition, and has been SLP tuned. With these upgrades this car would be right at home on a friday night at the drag strip but still be a great daily driver! The chassis and suspension have also been upgraded. The front struts have been replaced with QA1 fully adjustable struts, all the bushings have been replaced with Energy suspension urathane bushings, and all the wear parts have been replaced. The interior of this car is in average to good condition. The front buckets and rear seat have been reupholstered with black and carbon fiber vinyl. The carpet, gauges, dash, door panels, and plastics are all in good shape. The headliner is a little ruff but not horrible, the center console lid is separating but again not horrible. The stereo has been removed. Overall this is a great car that can be driven and with a little more TLC it could be nearly perfect. Its not a project car or a piece of junk, every time I drive it I hesitate selling it because of how good it looks and how fun it is to drive. The worst problems with the car is that the fuel gauge is not working, every now and then there is a check engine light which gives me a mass air flow code, and the fact that its missing a stereo Willing to work with buyer on shipping but I do need a deposit of $500 and a contact phone number within 24 hrs of purchase. Thanks for looking |

Lutz says GM was working on 5th-gen Pontiac GTO
Thu, 08 Aug 2013Bob Lutz was one of the forces behind bringing the Holden Monaro to the United States, as the ill-fated Pontiac GTO in 2004. And while that car received critical acclaim, it was a sales disappointment. Now, Road & Track is reporting that our suspicions were correct - Pontiac was working on a two-door, G8-based coupe before it was shuttered.
In that R&T article, which is no longer available online, Lutz explained that the new GTO would solve many of the issues found in the original. Car Advice speculates that the new model would have look like a rebadged version of the Holden Coupe 60 Concept from 2008, a conclusion we also came to.
That car would have been a big departure from the 2004 to 2006 GTO. It has an extremely long hood and short rear deck, with an almost fastback roofline and a wide greenhouse with a tall beltline. The wheel arches were very pronounced, and the chin and rocker panel splitters gave it a race-ready look. Would it have been enough to make the GTO work in the US? We think it might of, but it looks like we'll never know.
Looking back at Oprah's free-car giveaway 10 years later
Fri, 12 Sep 2014
Oprah kicked off her 19th season in dramatic fashion by giving all 276 members of the studio audience a free car.
Molly Vielweber's Pontiac G6 appears unremarkable at first glance. It wears forest green paint, rolls on five-spoke aluminum wheels, and it has a sizeable scrape in the driver's side door, the scar of a decade's worth of hard use. You wouldn't notice it parked at a big box store or cruising on the highway. Pontiac made hundreds of thousands of G6s in the 2000s, and a lot are still on the road. It's unremarkable in every way except for the front license plate, which reads, "Oprah 6."
Porsche still deciding on one or two new 911 plug-in hybrids
Tue, May 29 2018Back in March, Porsche CEO Oliver Blume told Autocar that the coming Porsche 911 plug-in hybrid "will be the most powerful 911 we've ever had." That quote portended a 992-series 911 with 700 horsepower or more. A new report in Auto Express, however, suggests Porsche is having energetic debates about just what the 911's hybrid strategy will be, and that the only agreed-upon plug-in hybrid 911 so far is a milder version to sit in the middle of the range. Putting all our rumors in a row, in January, Automobile reported on an electrically-assisted 911 with 485 hp and 561 pound-feet of torque. The new AE piece effectively endorses that, saying the mid-range hybrid would follow the program established by the all-wheel drive Cayenne e-Hybrid that produces a combined 455 hp and 516 lb-ft. The 911 would naturally use a flat-six instead of the Cayenne's 3.0-liter V6, and the sports car would be tuned for better sound response and sharper reflexes. AE says fuel economy for this hybrid should be at least 80 eMPG, with emissions of less than 80 grams per kilometer. The current base Carrera is currently rated at a maximum 38.2 mpg in the UK, with minimum emissions of 169 g/km. The hybrid, fitted with a double-clutch gearbox and Porsche's mechanical all-wheel-drive system, could run from a stop to 62 miles per hour in less than four seconds, making it more efficient than a base Carrera and much faster than a Carrera 4S. AE says there remains only "the potential for Porsche to add a second, more powerful hybrid 911," and says its sources claim that's what's "causing the most consternation behind closed doors." This one would be the twin-turbocharged, 700-hp beastie that, as a series production car, would have a hard time not usurping the 540-hp Turbo, 580-hp Turbo S, and 607-hp Turbo S Exclusive. True, the hybrid would be handicapped with a 550-pound battery pack, but the instant acceleration and handling benefits of electric AWD — with no connection between the axles — could provide the final edge over the other three. As such, it makes sense that there'd be a whole lot of debate about a flagship 911 hybrid. On the other hand, such a monster seems like an eventuality in view of Porsche's electrified aspirations, the lessons gained from the 918 Hybrid and the 919 Hybrid Le Mans racer, and the fact that CEO Blume has already spoken. The Stuttgart carmaker expects a sales mix of 25 percent electric, 25 percent hybrid, and 50 percent conventional powertrains by 2025.
