2001 Pontiac Firebird Pontiac Firebird 2001 Pontiac Firebird Formula Coupe Coupe Coupe RWD Ste.-Therese, Quebec, Canada For 2001, V8-equipped Formula and Trans Am receive five more horsepower and five more ft-lb of torque, new exterior and interior colors join the palette, and the Ram Air Formula is dropped from the lineup. Powerful V6, spectacular V8, true muscle-car performance at a bargain price. Boy-racer-in-gold-chains image, cheesy interior plastic, V8 nets sky-high insurance rates. The Pontiac Firebird is a car meant to convey sex appeal. Its blend of angular greenhouse lines and softly bulging sheetmetal creates the automotive equivalent of a supermodel in a silk nightgown. Unfortunately, the bespoilered Trans Am (with its aero skirting, decklid "batwing" and louvered side scoops) ruins the effect. Not to worry; the midlevel Formula provides all of the T/A's hardware and go-fast goodies in a more restrained-looking, lighter, less costly package.
