      And got surprisingly good fuel economy. 260HP was pretty good for an American V8 in the mid 90s but many people suspect they were under-rated. They're simple and easy to tune.

    I own a pristine '94 Z28 with 48,000 miles. T-tops and every option. Love it to death. The LT1 is an awesome engine. Just a tick behind the LS1. The best cruising Camaro I have owned yet. If you get the chance to get a nice one do it. They are appreciating fast! Great video always love your stuff dude. !

  • @thegrandinquisitor8239

    The WS6 option package wasn't offered until the 1996 model year. Prior to that, the only way to get a ram air hood was to buy an SLP Firehawk or the Comp T/A made in partnership with BFGoodrich. The reason this particular car is a Trans Am GT is because it had the big wing. If you didn't get the GT option, your Trans Am came with the shallow wing of the regular Firebird. The LT1 GM put in the Caprice/Roadmaster had iron heads and less HP. The F-Body LT1's were more in line with the C4 Corvette LT1.

    I'm impressed there's no cracked interior (not the new factory parts added) to almost no rust anywhere like a traditional General Motors vehicle. This thing must have been stored more than driven.

    • @wigletron2846
      @wigletron2846 Před rokem +1

      Of course it's been stored, it's 19 years old with 66k miles. Keeping a car in a garage does wonders for interior quality.

  • @bwofficial1776
    @bwofficial1776 Před rokem +4

    I always thought the hood nostrils and wing on 90s Firebirds were ridiculous compared to the Camaro but the engine and chassis make up for it. This would spank a Mustang GT.
    I love how GM didn't give you a choice of where the air goes when the A/C is on. Good old dumb GM decisions. Agreed that 90s GM had the most comfortable seats.

  • @johnjones393
    @johnjones393 Před rokem +3

    The 4th gen Trans Am was my dream car when it came out in 93 but I was 20 years old at the time I couldn't afford the payments or insurance. I did end up owning a few different 4th gens years later and that Delco radio was the first thing to get swapped out in every one.

    First off Loved the video as a Trans am owner but …..
    There is a slight problem about the info that was given
    The Ram Air WS6 didn’t reappear back until 1997 … The GT was virtually a dumbed down version of it without the performance gain ….
    “ Firebird “ = V6 base model
    Formula / Trans am = V8
    Saying “ Firebird Trans am “ is like saying “ V6 V8 “ ….

    I had a red 96 T/A & a Silver 95 Formula. Both automatic with 3.23 rear axle. Both ran 13's in the 1/4 mile with only mod being an open air filter. The WS6 was not until 96 not 95. These Ponchos' were runners ! you could bury the 160 speedo. Seriously fast cars
