Being an avid 'Car and Driver' reader until a few years ago I am sure that tow limits were always very low (If any at all) due to poor quality body materials. Even worse than low priced European cars of the time.

There must be a Firebird forum that can give more info...they even speak English....some of the time

HTH

yes the limits are a lot lower if the boyfriends camaro is anything to go by  (500lbs  ), i tried a few forums and got nowhere ,it seems they dont like towing with their precious toys or wont bother replying hence the post in here , and would that be      US-english   . I'm not sure its such a "common " language this english and me being yorkshire too...  haha

cheers for the reply ..Andy

Must be a baby Firebird, I remember the 6.6 litre ones, they were popular with the US servicemen when I was with the RAF in Germany! Awesome cars-in a straight line!

Our local Ford dealer has a 4.0 litre Mustang- 07 reg-hmmm tempting!! ( No SWMBO would kill me!!)

Then again the Vauxhall place had some 6.0 litre RHD Monaros, big car, big engine should be good towcars between petrol stations!!!

 Yup the 6.6 with Shaker hood, Great car,

I towed a van hundreds of miles with a left hooker and found it tricky as the steering wheel and door mirror are some distance apart and there is a passenger in the line of vision, rear visibility was at best "not good" no problems thankfully but did require more care.

Having used a Trans Am Firebird when I worked in the States many years ago I retain an interest.

So I took a long look at the one I saw towing a largeish 'van to the Pickering Steam Rally last month. I was behind it for quite a while, then just one in front of it for quite a while. Itr seemed to be doing the job quite well.
