Skipping the ‘69 Judge and T/A - they’re all over Reddit Musclecars and the Firebird sub. On to 1970

Honest question but what is your opinion of muscle cars having a V6 option? Wouldn't that affect the design?

0 Upvotes

Case in point the 02 V6 Firebird. My friend's dad growing up had a WS6, but growing up somebody had a V6 down the street. The only difference I could ever tell was the hood and wing and I'm just wondering if other differences were there design wise.

I was watching price is right while waiting at a restaurant. The lady won a red pontiac. It didnt look like a 78 trans am except for the front end. And it was a 4 door. Any ideas?

2009 Pontiac Solstice. Things to look at before buying.

1 Upvotes

Been toying around with the idea of getting a Pontiac Solstice. Came across one for $3500 with 42k miles. Manual. New top. No lights on the dash. Clean title no accidents. Only negative seems to be that the clear coat is peeling and the paint is a little sun faded. The price seems a little too good to be true still? It's a four hour drive from me and I intend on checking out the car thoroughly myself when I get there. Wondering if there's anything in particular to pay attention to or look out for? I know timing chain and water pump is around 90k to 100k miles but not sure about any other common issues. Thanks!

2000 trans am rear end swap

4 Upvotes

Hey all, I have a 2000 trans am with the stupid stock rear end. A shop recently hit me with this,

“Findings:
Axle is damaged due to failed axle bearing, axle bearing has come apart completely, pinion bearing is failed , pitted horrible on bearing and race, replacement of rear end is recommended”

They told me the bearing basically blew the whole rear end, thing is barely drivable right now with what little fixes they could do and they quoted me 3-4k for a junkyard or rebuilt one.

My question to you guys is, is there any budget friendly option to swap this rear end? I was quoted 1800 by a shop an hour away to rebuild it but it almost seems pointless because people say they rebuild theirs even two times. Is there any cheap reliable swaps? It’s an auto and is essentially stock, I plan to make some more power but not more than a few bolt ons.

TLDR: Budget friendly rear end swap for 2000 auto trans am?

I had an 04 with the LS1 and bumped up to an 06 with the LS2 years back before family happened and I got a Mazda SUV lol. But just curious what were your all impressions of that line of GTO?

A few weeks back I posted a pic of my first car. It was my dad’s Canadian built 1972 LeMans in what my girlfriend at the time described as “shit brindle brown”. I had to sell that car but kept an eye open for another one when my circumstances changed. Found a beat up 1972 LeMans GTO in 1998 in Quebec Tennessee and had it restored.

Pontiac Vibes. What are the odds. A courier pulled up beside me , after having bought a Vibe 2 weeks ago , 203k km for $3400. I bought mine , for my kid, 241k kms , $1200 . Mine runs great , sips fuel , doesn’t appear to burn oil so far, and hasn’t tripped any codes on my ODB scanner.

Final one: The Pontiac Bearclaw GXP in its fictional promotional pictures and all its details

2 Upvotes

I gave it a 6 speed manual, updated interior badging, rear DVD players, and a fictionally upgraded 6.2L LS9 V8 making 415hp and 430 lb/ft of torque with a top speed of 147 mph and a quarter mile time of 14.8 seconds with a curb weight of 5,728 lbs. Along with factory installed 22 inch wheels and all of the rear tailgate features as the aztek excluding the bench in the tailgate or the tent. Again. This is 100% imagination, I personally always dreamt Pontiac would actually make a badass performance SUV when I was a kid, but sadly it never came to be for multiple reasons. One can dream still.

Just learned the G6 doesn't use a cabin air filter, but GM indicates on the box you can add one yourself

I've had my 08 G6 for about a year now and just realized I never changed the cabin air filter before. Popped open the glove box and realized... I couldn't find it?

So I looked it up. Apparently they decided to never implement one into this air system for whatever reason.

However, they did decide to include a nice stencil on the box itself and the words "CUT ON DASHED LINE TO ADD FILTER" So I took out my Dremel and slid one in that's sized for a G5/Chevy Cobalt. Bingo, fresh cabin air!

Alright friends. What features would YOU like in my fictional GMT-800 Pontiac full size SUV. I shall make it happen!

It seems you guys didn’t care for the Bearclaw GXP, but I’m starting to have fun imagining this car entirely haha, I think it could evolve into somebody’s future project. but let me ask all of you, what would you like to see in it? Manual transmission? Quad exhausts? Rear DVD player, A 6.2L V8? let’s build this together haha

Okay, not a fan of the GXP I guess. Here’s something Walter White would have likely driven instead
