NAME: Pontiac Firebird Formula
PICTURES:
finding somewhat presentable high quality images was hard for some reason, maybe I set my standards a bit too high for this (I guess this also sacrifices the color consistency I always strive for)
I figured that it’s about time that I remastered my first car suggestion I’ve ever made, so I’ll add an explanation on why I suggested this (although I will try to trim down some parts so it isn’t a slog to read through)
now at the time of suggesting, I was pretty interested in watching some car restorations/builds, and this Firebird model just so happened to be in one of those video series I watched
I figured, what the hell, why not suggest this, it’s a cool car that’s one of the more underrated Firebird models (MrBeast’s rocket car using this as a donor car was a coincidence, but it’s funny how we could easily recreate this if it made it ingame)
the 91’ model year had a restyled nose compared to the older models years for the third generation Firebird, and the nose design is what stuck with me, it looked a little funky, but it was cool enough to warrant me suggesting it (the only regret I have is that Mandar didn’t suggest this, but he could probably add his knowledge in a reply)
not much extra info to add since it’s not a crazy racecar with some crazy background, but I hope the story adds enough flair to it
now, time for specs:
