I got a stock 89 TPI 350 grey i bought out of the ghetto Down Town Grand Rapids, needs minimal work. Runs like a beast and the first time i had it out, i went to the gas station. While i was pulling out my view was blocked by some redneck and his propped up Toyota pickup, i almost got T-boned so i stomped the gas and went sideways down the street, i don't know how i managed to correct it right away the first time I ever did that, but boy i fell in love with that car. Very fun to drive.
@NoOdL3z18 haha are you talking bout grand rapids michigan? cause i live in that area... just not the ghetto area lol but i got an 89 305 tbi firebird out of the ghetto area in grand rapids and its a beast with more than 2500 in engine work to make the thing a beast but something bout the ghetto that makes cars run good i guess?
I got a 85 jus threw a 350 crate engine in it. Cant wait to drive it n tear shit up!! Very nice car by the way im tryin to make mine look like a formula....
why would you do that? you could have put your 305 tpi heads and intake system and had a nasty fuel injected 350, thats what i did, port the heads bigger valves cam am makes 430 hp easy
Very nice Firebird, I have a 89 Firebird Formula myself just got rebuilt 5.7L 350 put into it as well as a new tranny. Beautiful car, just wish mine was manual like your's :(
I like the most like factory or factory options, firstly. Mine is rare off the bat as dealer ordered convertible 350 TPI engined car with the automatic trans. And one cannot dispute it, the ASC label is on the door jam
umm i say m/t because its better but i like a/t for like an every day driving but for racing i rather go for a m/t they are way better just what i think..
manual transmissions are proven on the track to ahve better times. a/t's only use 90% of their torque converter plus the gears are always moving which kinda slows it down a bit.. i saw an example once an auto v6 mustang ran .40 slower than a manual v6 stang of the same year.
ugh ur wrong the manual trans are good for half tack n i bet id pass u if our cars were even match either way u would have me off the line n i could launch harder
your car looks sweet. i own one myself its only the 305 but im rebuilding a 350 in the spring and putting it in!! i like that its manual i wish mine was
Hey thats a great firebird you have there......I was just wondering what type of rims you have on the car? I just purchased a 1989 Pontiac Firebird GTA and I would love to purchase the rims on the internet somewhere! Please message me all info on the rims you have for your firebird!! Thanks
automatics r cool but ur not a real car fan until u drive stick u feel the car u become one with the car u have a little more control of the car a perfect meld of human and machine but dude one thing has to be said about ur car SEXY
@darklordspike : I must disagree with you on the automatics. True that you have more control of a car with a manual. That fact I will not dispute. 10 yrs ago I had an 89 Formula 350. Had stock 350 motor (slightly moded before I got it. never found out how) and stock 4 speed auto. despite that, the car and I were one. That was the only car I ever felt connected to. I hate that I had to sell it and would give almost anything to have it back.
good luck with that 5 speed. they werent made to handle much power. i would go with a turbo 350 for your next transmission wen the 5 speed blows. thank god for my 700r4 it handles my 350 like a dream even with 184000 miles on it. it still shifts hard.
"Never send a human to do a machine's job". That's why I prefer Auto rather than manual transmision.
A man could never stand a chance agaist machine's perfection. Besides, after 40+ years of Automatic existance, driving manual would be to me like having to turn on the engine with a crank from the front of the car. Unproductive!
i could leave a automatic in the dust autoimatics are set to change at 3700 revolutions and i can shift at red line witch means more horespower for me so u lose
That depends on the machine, buddy. I've seen Automatic Mustangs laugh out loud at manual ones, same bodywork, same horsepower but different results.
in daily use a modern manual shifted car has no chance to beat the same car with A/T.
On the paper there is still a slightly advantage for the M/T, but in typical take over manouvres you just need to kick down while the M/T owner still is looking for the right gear...
dude k listen u can red line a 06 mustange with manual same everything and get to 150 mph but autos dont redline and only hit 130 mph its all worth redlining if u can see my taillights leave u i bet all people that drive manual and beat u say a/t is for pussy's who dont know how to drive
You're dreaming, bro! 95% of drivers driving an automatic would be able to beat someone driving the exact same car but as a manual, simply because you can not shift a manual shifter as fast.
Forcing the engine would only cause it to eventually blow up, and the guy with the A/T would be laughing at you for six months.
Ain't envy people who has a machine SO retarded they have to aid it shifting because they cannot do it by themselves.
I'd rather jerk off than "jerking off" the car!!!
STRAIT out of the 80's, lol ... not really my thing. But you know what man, there's just SOMETHING about the cheesiness ... It's not easy bein cheesy. lol!
that looks exactly like my brothers 86...except for the phoenix on the hood, i couldnt tell if urs did but his had the t-tops in it'
