1975 was the first year without the superduty to save its performance and was not a good year for any car. The looks are flat, but not nearly as much as the performance. I mean it is sad! Eventhough the car is from 75, a Carolla could run with it.
Imagine a car with a big V8, lots of rumble, mean disposition, and no balls! Nothing. The 0-60 is almost 10sec on the 400ci. The Formula which I have expierenced are even worse. The 350 made around 140hp and the 0-60 dragged down to 13secs. Thats what the super duty did in the quarter, and slower than the Aveo.
The interior had nice enough looks for the time, but nothing to compare with anything after. Just nice enough. Now, I should say something nice. The Firebird did start the automatic performance car; or what was a performance car. I have seen many try to run quarter miles and look like fools. Although this car could get four wheel disc brakes, and a decent suspention. So it could handle ok, but not great.
This car is one that you can't call a classic. A classic can endor time; this just shows its age.
