Photographs
The 1995 Firebird was one of the last American cars sold with the old OBD-I diagnostic system — though most left the factory with OBD-II connectors already wired in underneath the dash.
The three Turbo Trans Ams that paced the Indy 500 were picked at random from the production run; only strobes and safety gear set them apart.
By 1985, this Trans Am was the most aerodynamic car GM had ever built — a 0.29 drag coefficient, with hidden wipers, pop-up headlights, and cone-shaped mirrors all sculpted by wind tunnels.
The 1976 50th Anniversary Trans Am, finished in black and gold, was the direct styling inspiration for the Special Edition seen in Smokey and the Bandit the following year.
The Firebird was Pontiac's consolation prize — GM blocked its two-seat Banshee sports car over fears it would steal Corvette sales, handing Pontiac a pony car instead.
Rivals
Same body, same money, other badges — tap any card to flip.
The Celica XX, Japan's name for the A60 Supra, introduced the world's first in-car navigation computer.
The CTR Anniversary looks like a 911 but Ruf built its carbon monocoque from scratch, no Porsche body underneath.
The 228's coupe styling hides a sedan underneath: Maserati stretched it onto the longer four-door Biturbo chassis to make room for its biggest V6, which is literally where the name comes from — 2-door, 2.8 litre.
Switching to fuel injection let this V8 finally shed its trademark bonnet bulge — and only 405 of these flat-hooded Series 5 cars were built before the whole model retired in 1989.
Japanese buyers got a secret weapon in their MX-6 — the JDM-only KL-ZE V6 made about 40 more horsepower than the engine sold in the exact same car in North America.
An American tuner, Callaway Cars, built twin-turbo conversions of the GTV6 that boosted its V6 by fifty percent to 230 hp — turning Alfa's grand tourer into something far quicker than the factory ever intended.
