35 mau makahiki ma hope mai, hiki mai ka hopena o Firebird
Eia naʻe, he iwakālua mau makahiki ma hope, ma 2002, ua hoʻopau ʻo GM i ka laina Firebird me kāna māhoe. ʻO Chevrolet Camaro. I mea e ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi, ʻo ka brand Pontiac, ka mea i puni mai ka makahiki 1926 a he ʻano haʻuki koʻikoʻi ma GM, ua hoʻopau loa ʻia i ka makahiki pilikia o 2010. ʻO ka ʻāpana hanohano o kona hoʻoilina ʻo kona compactness (e like me ka ʻike ʻAmelika) Firebird lineup.
Mahalo i nā kaiāulu ikaika o nā mea nona nā kaʻa ʻAmelika ma Stuttgart, ua hiki ke kono i kahi ʻelele V8 o kēlā me kēia o nā hanauna ʻehā o Firebird i kahi hui hui no nā kiʻi a me ka hoʻokele, mai ka mea hoʻokūkū mua o ka Mustang 1967 a i ka hoʻokūkū i ʻike ʻia. i ka makahiki 2002. ma ka Porsche 911. Ma waho aʻe o ka inoa, ʻo nā mea wale nō i loaʻa iā lākou he mau mīkini V8 me 188 a 330 hp, kahi axle hope paʻa, wahi noho hope liʻiliʻi a me ka hōʻailona Firebird me nā ʻēheu ʻēheu. Eia naʻe, ʻokoʻa loa nā kino ʻehā mai kekahi i kekahi, a he paʻakikī ke ʻike i ke ʻano ʻohana i loko o lākou.
Model – Mustang.
Hoʻolālā ʻia e nā mea ʻē aʻe ma mua o John DeLorean, ʻo ka hiʻohiʻona o ka hanauna mua Firebird (1967) ua maopopo ke kumu o ka mea hoʻokūkū i hoʻokomo ʻia ma 1964. Ford Mustang - ka uhi mua lōʻihi, hoʻi hope. Hoʻohui ʻia i kēia ka pihi ʻāʻī sexy i mua o ka huila hope a me ka Pontiac quintessential i hoʻokaʻawale ʻia e kahi grille ihu chrome koʻikoʻi. Eia kekahi, kokoke i nā puka makani āpau, nā ʻāpana ākea ākea a me nā bumper hope e ʻālohilohi me ka ʻoluʻolu metala i kahi ʻano keu o nā makahiki 60. Aia ʻo Chrome ma nā wahi a pau o loko: ma ka huila ʻekolu ʻōlelo, ka lever hoʻoili maʻalahi a me kāna console rectangular, a me nā hoʻololi like ʻole. ʻO ia hoʻi, ʻo kēia Firebird nani vinyl-topped he mea ʻē aʻe ma mua o kahi kaʻa hōʻikeʻike ponoʻī no ka hoʻokele boulevard hoʻomaha?
ʻO ka Firebird mua he 6,6-liter V8 a me kahi chassis ʻoluʻolu.
ʻAʻole naʻe. Ma lalo o ka puʻupuʻu he 6,6-lita V8 me 325 hp. Ma ka SAE, ua manaʻo ʻia ka manawa e ʻae ʻia ʻo ia e heihei ma ke kaʻa pony paʻakikī, me ke kaupaona ʻana he 1570 kilokani. ʻOiai ma ka pūnaewele, ʻo ka 400cc ʻekolu-wikiwiki hoʻoili ʻakomi Ua pane koke ʻo CM i nā ʻōlelo ʻoluʻolu o ka pedal accelerator. ʻO ka hoʻoikaika ikaika - a ʻo nā huila hope e hou ana i nā whimpers e noi ana i ke aloha, a holo ikaika ke kaʻa i mua. E akahele wale! ʻO ka hoʻokuʻu ʻoluʻolu a me ka hoʻokele mana kūpono ʻole e pono ai ka hoʻolālā akahele no ka hoʻololi ʻana i ke ala. ʻO ke kuʻi ʻana, pono nā kaʻa diski maikaʻi ma nā huila mua e pale i ka pōʻino.
Trans Am me nā kaula gula a me John Player Hoʻolālā kūikawā
I kēia manawa, e nānā pōkole kākou i ka pilikua ʻeleʻele me nā kaha gula ma ke ʻano o Lotus mai ka Formula 1 o nā makahiki 70. No ka Trans Am Limited Edition, ua hoʻohana ka mea hoʻolālā Pontiac ʻo John Shinela i ka hoʻolālā kala mai ke kākoʻo ʻana i ka mea hana paka ʻo John Player Special. ʻO Trans Am, i hoʻonani ʻia me nā kala gula, ʻike ʻia i ka manawa o ka 50th anniversary o ka brand Pontiac. Ma hope mai ua lilo ke kumu hoʻohālike kūikawā i mea kaulana loa i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni kaʻa ʻo Smokey and the Bandit (1977, Part II, 1980) - he orgy of drifts me Burt Reynolds ma ka huila.
Akā pehea ka nui o ka hoʻololi ʻana i kā mākou pony me nā pūhaka melemele. Me ka wheelbase like, ua ulu ke kino e 20 knm i kahi mea kupaianaha ʻelima mau mika ka lōʻihi. ʻO ka uhi mua, a me kahi grille motel-size motel moe lua, ua māhele ʻia i ʻelua. Aia kahi ʻāpana o ke kuleana no kēia mea me nā puʻupuʻu pale 1974, kahi e hoʻonui ai i ka hanauna ʻelua 1970 Firebird e like me ka ʻumi kenimika.
Pākuʻi V8 nui me kahi neʻe o 7,4 liters.
ʻAʻole ʻano ikaika ka hihiʻo e like me ka wā ma mua, akā loaʻa nā helu hou aʻe no ke kūlana nui o ka hōkū mai ka moʻo hakakā. Hoʻohui maikaʻi ia i kahi poloka ʻenekini V8 nui o 6,6 (400 cubic iniha) a ʻo 7,4 lita (455 cubic iniha), i hana ʻia a hiki i ka 1979. 1976 Chevrolet Camaro hoʻohālikelike ʻia i hoʻonele ʻia i ka V8 nui mai ka makahiki 1973.
ʻOiai ka nui o kona nui, ʻo ka Trans Am ʻeleʻele a me ke gula - ʻoiai ua kapa ʻia nā mana kiʻekiʻe o ka laina mai ka makahiki 1969 - hoʻomaikaʻi i nā mea kūʻai aku me nā kikoʻī nani e like me nā huila huila honeycomb-structured. A i ʻole me kahi papa hana ʻokoʻa i ke ʻano kaʻa heihei maoli, kahi e ʻoki ʻia ai nā mea pōʻai maʻalahi i loko o ka panel mua alumini palaki. Hoʻohui ʻia i kēia kahi huila ʻili nani e kau ʻia ma Ferrari a i ʻole Lamborghini.
Hilinaʻi iho 188 c.s. ma 3600 rpm
ʻO ka mea pōʻino, mai ka makahiki 1972, ua nalowale nā lio he nui i ka wā o ka hoʻemi ʻana i ka hoʻokuʻu ʻana a me ka ʻai wahie. Pēlā nō me kā mākou kumu hoʻohālike 1976 - mai kahi o 280 hp. ʻO ka DIN mua me ka like 6,6-lita V8 he 188 hp wale nō ma aneʻi. Ke neʻe nei lākou i kahi 3600rpm mālie loa i kahi axle hope i hoʻopaneʻe ʻia e lawelawe maikaʻi ana iā lākou - ka nui o ke kaʻa, ka maikaʻi chassis a me ka mana mīkini i ka lokahi kūpono a hoʻomalu iki ʻia. ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi ma mua o ke kumu hoʻohālike mua. ʻOi aku, 9,5 kekona mai ka 0 a hiki i ka 100 km/h maikaʻi no ke kaumaha kaumaha 1750-paona. A i ka wā e ʻolokaʻa ai ka leo kuli o ka Trans Am Limited Edition ma ke ala nui, ʻaʻole ʻike nā mea hoʻokele ʻē aʻe i kāna peʻa gula.
ʻO ke kolu ʻo Firebird he coupe haʻuki waiwai me kahi huelo nui.
Akā ma laila e pau ai ka leʻaleʻa. I ka makahiki 1982, ua hoʻolauna ʻo Pontiac i ke kolu o ka hanauna Firebird. ʻO kāna mana ikaika loa, ʻo ka Trans Am GTA, i puka mai i ka makahiki 1987 a ʻōlelo ʻo ia he "coupe haʻuki koʻikoʻi." Akā ʻokoʻa ka manaʻo o ka wā. Hoʻokomo ʻia ma nā ʻaoʻao a pau nā mea pōʻino ʻē aʻe ma mua o ke kala kumu a me ka "moa uē" ma ka uhi mua i kapu. Loaʻa iā ʻAmelika kahi coupe haʻuki waiwai a kūpono hoʻi me kahi huelo nui. ʻO ka engine base he 2,5-lita ʻehā-cylinder unit me ka mana o 90 hp, e hāʻawi ana i ka phlegmatic dynamics i kahi kaʻa he 1,4 tons. ʻO ka V8 ikaika loa i ka mana Trans Am ua māʻona me 165 hp wale nō. ka nui hana elima lita.
Ua loli ke kūlana i ka makahiki 1988 me ka hiki ʻana mai o TPI (Tuned Ported Injection) mau ʻenekini V8 me kahi neʻe ʻana o ʻelima (305 cc) a me 5,7 liters (350 cc), a hiki ka mana i 215 cc. 225 h.p. A ma muli o ka mana o ka hanauna V8 o ka Firebird, ʻoiai ke lako pono, ʻaʻole kaupaona ʻia ma mua o 1,6 tone, hoʻi hou lākou ma ke ala kokoke e like me ka hoʻohālikelike 1967 mua.
ʻO Pontiac Firebird Trans Am GTA ka mea hoʻokūkū iā Porsche 928 a me Toyota ma luna
ʻO ka trans Am GTA kiʻekiʻe loa me ka 1987-liter V1992, i hāʻawi ʻia mai 5,7 a i ka 8, kokoke loa i nā hoʻokūkū Kepanī a me Kelemania e like me ka Toyota Supra a i ʻole ka Porsche 928. I kēia hoʻokūkū, hilinaʻi ia i ka chassis paʻa pono. nā pākū ākea me ka nui 245, ka hoʻokae palena palena a me ka hoʻokele pololei. ʻAʻole like me kāna mau mua ma mua, ua hoʻololi ke k shkohu i nā mua ʻelua o nā ʻāpana ʻehā o kona lawe pono ʻana me nā jerks ʻoi. A i ka hoʻokele wikiwiki ʻana ma ke ala nui, huli ka salon i kahi sauna.
Hoʻomaka i ka makahiki 1993 a hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā ʻaoʻao pōʻai, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hoʻoilina akā ke kaupaona like me ka holoholona. Hauʻoli mākou i ka noho ʻana i kekahi o nā Firebirds hope loa o 2002, ʻo ka Collector Edition. Mahalo i nā puka makani sloping a me ka "bio-design" palupalu, ʻaʻole i ʻoi aku ka ākea o loko ma mua o ka Renault Clio. Eia nō naʻe, ʻaʻohe manaʻo nui kēia iā mākou - ma hope o nā mea a pau, ua lawa ka wahi no ka wāwae ʻākau. ʻOiai ma 4500 rpm hoʻomaka ka GTA e nalowale i ka mana, ua like ia me ka nui, akā aia ma 100 hp. Ke hoʻomau nei ka ikaika o Ram Air V8 i ka huki maikaʻi a ʻohi i ka maunu a hiki i 6000 rpm.
ʻO ka mea hou loa ʻo Pontiac Firebird e like me ka holoholona
Me ka lawe lima ʻeono wikiwiki, hiki ke 100-5,5 km / h i 260 kekona a me ka wikiwiki kiʻekiʻe ma mua o 7,4 km / h. He mau waiwai kēia i hiki ʻole i kekahi o nā mea mua i hiki ke hoʻokō, me ka XNUMX-lita nui. ʻenekini. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka lawelawe ʻana - ʻoiai ʻo ka lōʻihi o ʻelima mau mika, ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka poʻe ʻAmelika i ka huli ʻana ma ka ʻōlelo Italia. No laila ʻo ka mea i nele i nā Firebirds hou ʻelua i ka charisma a me ka quintessential American styling a lākou i hana ai i nā ʻano maikaʻi maikaʻi loa ma ke ala. ʻO ia ke kumu e hoʻonui ʻia ai ka ʻike i nā hiʻohiʻona ʻehā: ʻAe! Ua hoʻāla maoli lākou!
