1997 Hurst Firebird - original TV road test

[LateNightCable]

I'd take one of these old WS-6 Birds over any of the new gay and ugly Camaros, including the ZL1. Speed isn't everything.

[kelin818]

@LateNightCable how are they gay and ugly?

[LateNightCable]

@kelin818 Very chunky cars, not sleek at all. And the high belt line makes the interior feel like a tomb. Even T-tops would have a hard time helping the new cars.

[kelin818]

@LateNightCable thats just your opinion man, it looks awsome to me.

[LateNightCable]

@kelin818 It's not so much my opinion as it is my observation. Not to undermine yours, but I agree, the average person on the street probably would think it looks good. That's all Chevy needs to impress, so that's all the effort they gave it.

[sean55719]

fuckyes that gave me a chubby!!

[wolfzero85]

the 93 to 97 TA AND Z28 are some of the fastest cars you can get for cheap now of days

[Axeman8]

@wolfzero85 Indeed, I'm workin on aquring a firehawk. Close enough

[pepene93]

@wolfzero85 its changing to the 98-02 ones. quite a bit faster, and prices are dropping. i got an 02 z28 with all options and 43k miles for 12 grand. while searching, i found less well equipped and higher mileage cars for as low as 5 grand.

[SKitles888]

my rims look way better, an my short shifter does to,

mine has true WS.6 package also,

if only some ppl took care of it an cept it mint but nooo it went from owner to owner fucking it all up, but i know someone had it wen it was clean an didnt keep it that way, shame on them, now im looking at a good 8 or 9 gran to get it cherry (blown head gasket so it needs a overhaul)

[garrittpwl]

@SKitles888 cool! noone cares.

[SKitles888]

@garrittpwl lol yea can u tell im dying from bordom

its boring times these days

[musicofthesoul85]

$42,000 back in 1997! the upcoming zl1 camaro cost about $47,000 today! This car had a huge mark up

[pepene93]

@musicofthesoul85 for its day, this car was faster than the zl1 will be today.

RIP John Lingenfelter

[outdoorsman767]

lingenfelter has fulfilled the prophecy, jesus drove a trans am, then he gave life to lingenfelter to up the horse power, now jesus owns 2

[ProvenPerformancez28]

Damn that car is badass is it a formula??

[Argedis]

wtf i never knew they made a factory 360hp LT1!! thats pretty insane if you think about it, thats what a full bolton ls1 makes

[pepene93]

@Argedis uh, not really. most ls1s will dyno between 340 and 350 on an engine dyno. a good exhaust will get you to 360 if youre one of the luckier ones.

[sexysexy7]

shit ill sell my 01 trans amws6 4 it it got computer clutch and motor work dun

[raceready79]

What year was this video made??

[slasher7555]

@raceready79 Well the car is a 1997... they're reviewing it and saying how to order one.. so I'd say late 96 to mid 97..

[whtswrngwthupeople]

awesome car, I always loved cars with gold wheels, makes me want to find a used formula to buy.

[81TransAmJunkie]

Does anyone have one of these they would like to sell. If so I've $100,000 Cash with you're name on it. I'll $75,000 for a replica if you got one

[dodge69874]

@81TransAmJunkie $75k for a replica? Jesus Christ, I'll turn my '94 T/A into a nicer more powerful looking replica for only $20k. What do you say?

[ryanmtanner]

one badass LT1

[MidnightNSavannah]

That is a sweet car,i like the tan interior better.

[1981qrycher]

Awesome car!

I would have liked to see them keep the tan interior instead of the graphite. Awesome car though.

5 stars

[DeWalt36volt]

ugly

[bajabusta]

I have this video too, but my TNN logo has a bit of color to it. Strange
