My name is Karl & I have been building sreetrod Pontiac Firebirds my whole life. I have a 73 with a 440 motor with an 8/71 blower on it pushing around 750 Hp. I was on my way to buy the paint for it on Saturday when my 96 Grandprix screwed up on my for the last time. I really needed a new car & I have been looking at the Crossfire for the last 3 to 4 months. I went home Saturday & started looking on the Internet & found a 2005 coupe with a 6 speed about 25 miles away so I went up to test drive it. That was all it took & I was hooked. I got it for 15000.00 & I must say it is one of the nicest cars I have ever drove. I love it & on a 75 mile round trip to work it only went through 1/8th tank of gas handles like a dream & have very good power.Now all I need is a turbo for it & I will be all set. Gm & ford could learn alot for this car. Thanks for letting my tell a little about my self & how i fell in love with this car. Ps I still love the Pontiacs but this car is really nice

 

Welcome 73Firebird!

 

Welcome to the forum.
I had a 1970 Pontiac LeMans ,1978 Pontiac Sunbird , 1984 Pontiac Trans Am and a 1996 Pontiac Grand Am GT.
Loved them all but the Crossfire is by far the coolest car out of a total of 22 cars I have owned.
I drive with a smile and love the attention it gets.

Thanks for the welcome. I am not selling any of my Pontiacs in the near future but I do love this new car. Just have to figure out how to make more hp. I never could keep a car stock for very long so I am sure I'll be doing something to it in the future

 

Welcome to the forum 73firebird.
You'll find lots of discussions about turbos, but little or no success.
Where in TN are you?
