    Bad Points: Hard on tires and u-joints.


    General comments: For a small muscle car, I thought thePontiac Firebird Formula Ram Air III rode pretty good, it handled awsome, and was an all-around good car.

    My first new car was a '70 Formula 400. I absolutley loved it, though I'm lucky to have survived it. I was too young for that calibur of car.

    Not for the beginner driver if you like stomping on the gas in 1st gear but once on the freeway its handeling is amazing in oregon I-5 i raced some BMW's and took 50 mph corners at 120 and didnt even squel a tire. And its fun stomping on others with a car built by Americans for Americans!

    The Pontiac Firebird Formula 455 Ram Air I have is a fast piece of machinery. I drive calm and easy with it, because it took me lots of money to restore it from scratch. It was in a very bad condition when I bought it from a US cars Scrapyard in the Netherlands. I use the car as daily driver to my work and I go to US carshows in The Hague.

    The Pontiac Firebird is without a doubt one of the most under rated Muscle cars of our time. If anyone from Hot Rod magazine, High Performance Pontiac, or any other car related magazine reads this I beg of you get a hold of one of these rare cars and re-test it, because it sure deserves the credit that is due. These cars are amazing. The Ram air motors came with an advertised 345hp and 430 lbs torque; however this was an estimate the manufacturer published due to rising insurance rates with youn ...

    Before I start my review of the Pontiac 1970 Firebird Formula Ram Air III I'd like to explain that I have 27 years experience with muscle cars. This is a car that should be considered the missing link in the Muscle/Pony car era. Never was a car so well at performing at both sides of the fence then the 1970 Formula 400 True Ram Airs.
    I have owned and restored many Muscle and Pony cars in my 37 years of life and I am yet to find a car that can give so much in one package. If you are into adrenali ...

    I had no business learning to drive a classic goldenrod yellow Pontiac 1970 Firebird Formula Ram Air III Car. I had the pleasure of taking a Pennsylvania State Trooper for a ride on the test track at Trevose. He loved the car, and I passed my driver's test. The trooper had me run the slalom at 25 mph...instead of the normal 15 mph. My mother watched in horror as I "heated up" the tires...G-70-14 Goodyear Polyglas with white letters. The State Trooper hit his head on the passenger's window--u ...

    The car handles great, has powerful acceleration and is fun to ram through the gears with. Its an all around totally rare butt kicking ponch from the early seventies and comes in the era color of keylime green. Who could ask for more.
