Details

Commissioned by a combination of Pontiac Public Relations, the Firebird Brand Team and Pontiac Advanced Engineering, this car was given to John Lingenfelter, the legendary guru of performance, to continue the development of his 383ci engine package and Ram intake manifold on the GM LT1 engine. In early 1995 John Lingenfelter, entered this vehicle in the Manufacturers High-Speed Shootout at the Texas Mile. The competition came from most every tuner and brand of that time. This Firebird Formula,

with John Lingenfelter at the wheel, won the championship at 196mph. Afterward the car was returned to Pontiac Division and was used at a variety of events and division functions.
