The 1990s were known for many wonderful things, and not the least of those things are the muscle cars that the decade brought about. The fourth-generation Pontiac Firebird, while gone, will never be forgotten, and this 1996 Pontiac Firebird Formula is a rare bird indeed. While the Trans Am dominated Pontiac's performance division, the lesser-known Formula is a true sleeper car. Using the base Firebird's body, the Formula got the T/A's hi-po power. This sleek Black over Graphite Grey beauty looks as stock as it did from the factory, complete with its quad-tipped exhaust and "Formula" bumper badge.
A stout 5.7-liter small-block LT1 V-8 sits under the hood, which sends power through a four-speed 4L60E automatic transmission and onto a 2.73 ratio Positraction rear end. Sitting on MacPherson struts up front and coil springs with shocks out back, this Formula rides on stock-style 16-inch rims shod in 245/50R-16 rubber on all four corners. Four-wheel power disc brakes add a level of safety, and they are capable of scrubbing off speed with ease.

The fourth generation of the Pontiac Firebird is the last we have seen of this magnificent muscle car. The Formula is arguably the most underrated trim in this lineup, and also the most rare. Most cars from this era have been customized and modified extensively, so finding one looking almost exactly how it rolled off the assembly line is not something that comes along too often.
