Look at the ride height - that sure isn't factory

Yes, it is a common problem when people restoring these cars install the new springs that are listed in whatever resto catalog they refer to. The vast majority of these supply houses generically think that if a set of springs fits a Camaro then they are the correct spring for a Trans Am. Not! As a result you get the 4x4 look of the car sitting three inches over the tires. So, Firebird fans tend to call them "AWD" or "4X4" Trans Ams.

OK, I get it now. Tongue in cheek. I see cars with the wrong ride height. Just didn't know in the Poncho circles they sarcastically called them AWD. Was looking all over the interwebs for a factory experimental awd TA. Just shows how gullible I can be.

  1. LIGHT SPEED
  2. BIG SCREEN
  3. ATOMIC BOMB
  4. ANTIVIRUS
  5. DOOHICKEY
  6. TIME TRAVEL

What do these 6 words all have in common? They are all over 100 years old. BTW . . . 3 and 6 were first used by H. G. Wells.
