Whats different about the intake and the way it gets air?? Speed Density or MAF??? MAF is better anyway, thats whythere is no more Speed Density. We can argue all day, but stock 3rd gen Firebirds are always gonna be faster (TTA and Firehawk)

hey well i'm looking for a thirdgen and i think they all look great! For a camaro i would like and 89-90 IROC and then the 91-92 Z28's. I would pick a 91-92 GTA because of the sleek look. But i belive that it is true that stock for stock a camaro has about 5-10 more hp. It is because of pontiac's damn restrictive intake tubing. But if you put a cold air on both f-bodies then they should have the same hp.

Also i think it is kinda cool how at first glance when people see a 91-92 pontiac(trans am or formula,etc) they think it is a corvette!

And also there has to be some reson why SLP choose the firebird for a firehawk, and there should be a reason why camaros didn't come with a 3.8 turbo?:hail:

From everything I have ever heard, the 'Bird was considered a "higher trim" than the 'Maro. Nicer interior, styling (ITHO) but more $$...

That's partially true now, the TA Ram Air is faster than the SS (Moto-trend did a road test) but costs more.

k heres my point of view.. My buddies 89 IROC's Interior is ****ty.. No backlit guages, Cheap looking interior etc.. etc.. My 86 Trans Am has great, Clean looking interior. You can tell the Camaro is a Ballsy hotrod, While Pontiac tried to make the Trans Am more of a luxury Hotrod.. and for whoever commented about rattles.. the Trans Am Has a ****LOAD more rattles than the Camaro. But I gotta tell ya, The name "Trans Am" just makes me tingle all over I'm a Trans Am Man for life .. Next stop 4th Gen!!!

If you guys judge the greatness of a car by it's sales numbers. You should all be driving Mustangs.
