Does this actually do anything practical or is it just an aesthetic boomer meme? Does it enhance performance in any way?

It used to help in "boomer" times. now, it's just for appearances.

1978 was 39 years ago gramps
no auto company has fucked with carbs for over 20 years in the US and those are the embodiment of the term "Fireturd"
No added performance. And on top of that, modern engine smoothness and motor mounts means it hardly shakes.
Reviewers have noted it moving when in wot and revving. Also gives it more of a whoosh sound.
>>16697205
it is indeed a boomer meme

It drops tempt by a few degrees, but not enough to be noticeable.
I wanted one just for looks, but not really work $2k extra.
I might buy the new T/A hood and the Hellcat Intake at some point in the future, much better cooling.

They should bring this back, not a pretty car, but damn the design is bad ass. I like the slim profile, unlike the fat look of other modern muscle cars. If they ever bring it back under the buick name, it would be a meal ticket for struggling buick.

They will never do it because GM isn't interested in having it cannibalizing sales from the Camaro/Corvette.
>>16697999
why would they ever do that
dumb idea
>>16698011
Why not bring it back, its an iconic car and would definitely be sought after if they brought it back with the same paint scheme.
>>16698017
Because
>>16698007
>>16698017
they already have the Camaro
why would they bring back the Firebird as a Buick
>>16698023
Well im not looking at it from a GM exec perspective, I just am saying, as a consumer. I would personally be interested in one of these as I currently do not like any modern muscle cars.
>>16698038
Because they're not Dodge and only care about profit?
>>16698038
listening to the consumer too much is a good way to go bankrupt

On a fun note, here's a 2016 trans am based on a camaro frame
