Trans Am Cars Third generation (1982–1992) Part 2

Picture Of Trans Am Cars

The Firebird and Camaro had been completely redesigned, with the windshield slope set at 60 degrees, (about 3 degrees steeper than anything GM had ever tried before), and for the first time, a large, glass-dominated hatchback that required no metal structure to support it. Two pop-up headlights, a first on the F-Body cars, are the primary characteristic that distinguishes the 3rd Gen Firebird from its both its Camaro sibling and its prior form (a styling characteristic carried into the 4th Gen's design). In addition to being about 500 lbs (227 kg) lighter than the previous 2nd Gen design, the 3rd Generation Firebird was the most aerodynamic product GM had ever released. Wind tunnels were used to form the new F-Body platform's shape, and Pontiac took full advantage of it. The aerodynamic developments extended to the finned aluminum wheels with smooth "Bowling Ball" caps & a spoiler that was functional.
