Pontiac combined clean, unexaggerated lines with LT1 V8 power to create the fourth-generation Firebird Formula. The owner of the F-body in the following The Smoking Tire One Take video, Jose, changed both formulas – the one Pontiac used and the car itself.He swapped out the original V8 for an LS1 with a more aggressive cam and ported heads. That hardware’s good for 432 horsepower at the rear tires, which are wrapped around attractive wheels that Jose says are typically found on import cars. Matt Farah takes the re-formulated Firebird through the canyons of California. Although he has to muscle the shifter and the heavy clutch pedal, he has no difficulty determining the steering and brakes are set up well.It’s easy for us to notice that Jose took an attainable car that’s easy on the eyes and made it even better. Sounds like a formula for a good time. Farah certainly seemed to have one.Chime in with your thoughts on the forum. >>Follow @derekshiekhiTags: Firebird, Pontiac, Pontiac Firebird Formula, Video
