      Trans am or formula 400. I like this alot and know the trans am is like the firebirds big brother. But damn now idk. I loved the formula 400 but this is better. Yes they are alot alike. But the trans am does have better options to begin with....torn

    The Formula 400 R is the most insane realization of a childhood dream that I've ever seen. My first car in HS was a 71 Formula 400, and around that time 1995, summit racing built a car named the quadradeuce. It was a hot rod with a modern awd drive-train. I remember reading that article and looking at my Firebird and thinking to myself... what if... I never told anyone, but apparently Greg heard me.

      @rarkitorparkit 5 лет назад

      Yeh, A kiwi will always crack a grin when discussing where or how the parts were acquired and adapted because inside were laughing uncontrollably in the knowledge that the component was made for a ton less $$$ and often works better than some exclusive high ticket super fruity tricked out shelf item someone with more money/less skill purchased, and a certain learned trick to get it working together is the one important thing being kept to ourselves. Cue mental image of someone sitting on the garage floor surrounded by scavenged parts and a beer, cursing profusely, stupefied as to why his bits don't go together like the ones seen on youtube.
