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.
