Ferrari Mailing List: Re: Ferraris and Firebirds

[Hunter N. Schultz (hns]

Actually, I kind of like it. For nostalgia sake.

However, the alternative in my mind is to drop a higher stall speed torque converter in a 412ia. That's the big problem with 400 series automatics. Ferrari didn't specify the right unit. It's set to low. I think it needs to be up around 2900 to 3000 rpms. Then you have some low end grunt off the line.

Anyone know of someone who tried that?

I think there was some company at the SEMA show that was doing kits to make the Camero into a "New" Firebird.  I'll see if I can find a picture.

One wonders what the Pontiac version of the new Camaro SS would have looked like. Trans Am with a screaming chicken on the hood...?

The Top Gear review of the Camaro SS was a hoot.

Hi Guys,

As an FYI, if you are not coming/going to Monterrey this year(or want to stop in CO on the way), we are also having our First Generation(67-69) Firebird national gathering(The Cannonbird Run) in Estes Park, CO Aug 13-15  and welcome anyone wanting to join us.

NOTE:  Special thanks to Lashdeep who put me in touch with Mr. Bill Porter who will be our keynote speaker Saturday night – he was head of GM design in 1969, and responsible for the Firebird design sign-off J  He will be presenting on the GM activities during the muscle car era, with emphasis on Firebird history.

 

Also, feel free to forward this to any other car fans you know.

 

Thanks,

 

Mark Lueker
