    Which is faster a LS1 Camaro or a LS1 Firebird? Which is better appealing?

    True. I like the GTP better anyway. The GS is nice too, I just like the sporty looks of the GTP.

    How's the GS fat?

    They are nearly the same car stock for stock.

    While you are liking the GP look, enjoy the uncomfy seat. lol

    Actually Bill, the GP has more leg room altogether than a Regal. My cousin has one and he admits the GP is a more comfy fit in the back seat. Thus more leg room equals more comfort.

    Whaa? The GP's don't have that feature at all? Any I'm not saying the GP is better than the regal. I know Buick put more time into their interior features which is why its heavier. Buick is more luxuriory while Pontiac focuses on speed.

    Having been in the back seat, I thought they were the same for legroom...aka nonexistant.

    You want leg room, get a Bonneville. The best Pontiac.

    Yeah, 97-03 GP's sucked so bad you couldn't even get a heated passenger seat, no real gauges, no boost number on many...just lego blocks. There's a long list. Compare to the Bonneville and the list is endless. Hell the Park Ave went so far ..they gave the rear passengers sun visors!

    True. I had a 98 Bonneville SLE last year and it was pretty nice. Didn't have heated seats but was very comfy and lots of room. It was also was faster than the Regal no joke! But hey I'm young and all about speed :P but I think Pontiac is just Faster than Buick.

    oh i know, its the same car with different skin on it.

    regal is far more comfy tho. and cops dont look at it twice most of the time. it does lack that sporty look the GP has. but thats why the cops like you guys so much too.

    Yea I actually know that from experience. Regal rides much smoother than the GP but I think the GP is quicker in the corners. My Bonneville floated like a boat though.

    X= -B plus or minus the square root of B squared-4AC / 2A

    The answer is obviously Cobra>Camaro/Firebird

    Bonneville is heavier than the GP or Regal. Sooooo since you want to talk about speed, my Regal is likely faster with 2.93 gearing than your Grand Poopile. I mean, GP.

    As for Bonne. If you wanted it to consider cornering, you'd have to shorten the wheel base, upgrade to the SSEI/or PA FE5 sways and close your eyes to pretend it could corner.

    Are you saying your Bonnie didn't have heated seats? Hmmm must have been a stripped down model (totally sarcastic)

    Yes you most likely are faster than my GT. It's not supercharged (yet) hehe.. And my Bonneville was an SLE model. I dont think that trim came with heated seats or it was optional. But I'm pretty sure the SSE model(everything the SSEI has except the S/C) came with heated seats

    Bonnevilles didn't have an option for heated seats until 2000. That's why I put "sarcastic". That is a pic of my Bonneville heated seat switches, though. You confused yet?

    My Regal GS with NA motor and 2.93's. It might be faster than your GT. In theory, your 3.29's should take off better.

    You are still wondering about that heated seat thing, aren't you?
    Test fit


    Correct...I fabbed it.



    The best seats in the world should have come heated.

    Yea I actually did get confused because I didn't know if Bonnevilles had an option or not for heated seats before 2000. So what year is that bonny? I'm guessing 99 or earlier.

    And I wasn't talking about handling in the Bonny lol. The handling sucked in it. I would've still had it but i got hit by a drunk driver and insurance totaled it out because they said it had excessive front end damage and high miles 150k. Ran like new before I got hit. R.I.P
