welcome to thirdgen.org!

Oh No! Another Iron Duke Firebird owner!

Welcome to TGO. Any pictures of your car? 1982 Firebirds rule!

oi, less raggin on the iron duke cars, they ooze cool.

I want one, one day, to park alongside my cherry 86 V8 sport coupe, and my next intended purchase, a TTA...

hey hey! welcome to the club! Whenever you can, you gotta show us some picts of the duke.

I was kicking the idea around of getting am Iron Duke 3rd gen just so I'd save gas and still have a nice-looking car to got to work in... Wife said no... How is the economy on those things, anyway?

Well lately my car has been running kinda rough. But when I had 14 inch wheels and the 5 speed I was getting killer gas mileage! I drove a total of 200 something miles one weekend and I used up 3/4 of a tank.

I could drive it around town and fill up every 2.5 or 3 weeks.

damn i only have one question

how does an engine with only 4 cyl move a 3500 pound car?

any kick at all?


other then that welcome to tgo and congrats on having an iron duke

no kick. The throttle is like a wet noodle on these cars. I have squawked the tires on my duke before. Not much though, because Ive got some wide tires on Formula 16 inchers.

My car can cruise on the open road very well. Ive got a 5 speed in mine so the extra gear really helps out. My car was originally a 4 speed.
