[8010cookie]

Gotta love that smell eh?

[IraqiNemesiS]

can anyone tell why my firebird only burnout one tire ??? i even checked the accels and changed my tires .. but it only burns out one tire .. the other tire just doesn't even move .

[texascat2]

@IraqiNemesiS

You have an "open diff" or your posi is burned up!

[sedvillemo]

@IraqiNemesiS its because your chevy dont have enuff torque to engage the limited slip , and also you dont have posi traction. junk it and buy you a mustang if you want 2 wheel peel.

[SuRihtanil]

@sedvillemo or put a posi track rear end? my 5.0 was only limited slip and I would leave only one black mark 2 outta 5 times.

[Tsugua21]

This is one the more underrated Fbodies, it looks better than the trans am (in those years 88-92).

[Dibrini]

When am I finally gonna get off my ass and get my Firebird to the frickin shop!

[KIFulgore]

Very cool -- I used to drive a black 1988 Formula. 305 small block, had it rebuilt - bored 0.040 over and heads milled down 0.020, ended up about 313 cubic inches and higher compression!

Never had it dyno'd but it was fun to drive.

[goodmenzzz]

ХУЕТА

[tjfreak]

I have a 90 form. 350 with the stupid borg warner high ratio gear, single wheel rear end..I had an 87- 442 - 307 with a 10 bolt 373 limited slip rear..This backwardness is a perfect example of GM's incompetence.

[MCarll]

It's just the way they were optioned out. How is that an example of incompetence on GM's part?

[tamra1975]

makes me wish i still had my 88 formula.....dropped a 6.2L 454 in that bitch....would drive it down dallas freeways and it would blow the doors off some stuff for real.

[savagexhaley14]

a 454 is a 7.4L

[tamra1975]

depends on when it was manufactured. one of the things about GM is that power just kept getting reduced on their motors and i hate that.

[dallaswarddw]

@tamra1975 Thats funny because 454's are 7.4 Liters...

[crazymonkey626]

best mod for f bodies with a 305 is a engine swap

[nirvana19791979]

rofl yup...although my 1988 305 tbi was nice and torquey (if thats even a word rofl) was fun up to 80mph then it was a DOG

[MLKJRJR]

that's what 305's do. I used to have one

[Kmel24]

wat size engine is in your car?

[demonracer6]

ive got same car except mines a 89 tpi 350

[wannabeangel83]

how fast does the firebird go...my grand am is about 2 bite the dust and i want a firebird freaken bad...lol...how fast and is it a good car???

[chanm910]

A stock 305 TBI will run like 16.0's at sea level. Add a few mods, into the 15's.

[ba55kas3]

no way... 170 hp... barely a 16 second car...

[sedvillemo]

@chanm910 wow thats sad my 302 ford mustang runs low 12's dont waste your time with a fireturd unless your going to put a 454 in that heavy shit.

[glareofspace]

@sedvillemo ya, i had an 87 like this one, and it was kinda slow, mid 14's, but it looked way better than mustang!!!!!

[PlatniumProductions]

where can i get the door decal?

[chanm910]

Hm...I have no idea.

[loudpyps]

@PlatniumProductions you can find them at

hawksthirdgenparts(dot)com

[FiveOFormula]

Haha, this is totally me! it definetly gets the tires goin easier now with the improvements to the exhaust n intake

[chanm910]

Haha, you sure gotta lot of views man!

[thirdgen87]

Yeah, my 87 Formula loves to roast tires also.

[bassnsx]

ac delco plugs and wires is a mod?

[shocktech102]

my neighbors got a light blue 89. built 350, 3 speed auto tranny without vaccum(forget what it is, some older tranny used for drag racing by alot of guys), roll cage, ect. ect. nicest trans am's i've seen. nice car dude

[boondocksaint18]

350 turbo hydraulic . run of the mill auto 3 speed used in everything till around 84

[1974SD]

Car looks real nice. Keep up the good work.

[Domman56]

spun the tires with ease

[91rocker]

not bad

hey whats a good cold air intake kit? I have an 87 with a V6 that could use a good performance boost without doing an engine swap.

[luckymanosteel]

No No No ditch the v6 a firebird is worthless without one.

[camaroz28clone]

sweet man

i am yet to try a burnout in my 1989 305

its goin to be sweet!

[PGR2TTR]

haha my burnout is way better and i just have a V6 firebird

[chanm910]

Wow, no one cares.

[PGR2TTR]

its just sad that i have less power and thats all a formula could do...just putting that out there

[rapsucksbigass]

305 is no fun u need a 350 way more fun.

[spudwrenchfalling]

well he was riding the brake the whole time to make that burnout last. thats the problem with my 88 formula its geared too high. its really better at 60+ than at 0-60.

[blastermanno01]

what motor's came in the formula firebirds? thinking about getting one

[buckkn1f3]

5.0 , 305ci fuel injected small blocks

[luckymanosteel]

I have an 88 Formula 350,...that is a 5.7 liter 350 with tuned port injection it is best to do away with the 700 r4, if u want to put the horsepower to the pavement quicker,I have video of mine,..nothin special

[bgsd73]

A friend bought a Formula new in 1987 when the Formula's came back into production. His had the 305 (5.0 litre), but also available was the 350 (5.7 litre) motor. The dealer wouldn't even offer a discount on that car with the 350. Most of the ones I see now are rusted out here in the midwest.

[CarsDelight]

awsome car!!!!! please watch my Firebird video. if you do then please comment it and rate it.

[SouthernRebeler]

If you spray the tire treads with WD-40, they smoke and spin more, but may start a fire, so be careful.

[blizzardman454]

also my rims(they are the same ones in the vid above) are starting to turn a yellowish color and ive tried wheel polishes and they dont work so if anyone can tell me how to get them to look nice again please do

[screaming86]

get tires removed from rims then use a paint stripper or aircraft striper on them to remove the clear coat then sand them with 400 grit sand paper then work your way up to a 2500grit wet sand and then they will look 100 times better then use a few coats of a good carnuba wax instead of clearing them with paint

[47glavine]

no you dont all you gatta do is wet sand and polish jeez i hope that guy didnt do that

[blizzardman454]

I have an 88 Firebird Formula and i have leaks coming in over the rear seats. I think its coming in from where the T-bar is screwed in if you know how to fix it please tell me.

[MikeDunn]

gotta love those 3rd gens. had an 87 IROC, 5-speed

[chanm910]

thats a badass car man. this is a 305 V8 4 speed auto

[MikeDunn]

I'll tell ya, I currently have a 98 Z28 and I do like it and it is fast. However, it almost feels like something is missing when compared to the IROC.

[chanm910]

its the style thats missing ;)

[LJAR28]

i have a 87 gta with 350hp

[chanm910]

thats badass man. LT1?

[foxsetup]

454 or notin :) loll no i kidin nice car

[lolomgwtf88]

i bet my 88 can whoop yours, just by driving mine better, 305 pushed to 350 with a stroker kit and flowmasters 80 series all i did to it

[theepirate]

Oh yeah, because a 305 can be punched out to 350ci with a stroker kit... and whether or not a car has Flowmasters actually matters.

[74SDFormula]

dumbass

[Jeff855]

man push the gas is that asking to much

[metallica88]

i see a small dent in the back
