Firebird Ram Air II competition
Chuck T 3y ago
Super 8……you are definitely right…..the Ram Air III was a “puppy dog” to the RAII….
I did own Ram Air III in a ‘69 Judge and a ‘70 T/A…both 4-spds. However, both of these cars were owned after a 71 455HO T/A…..for a street car, the HO was brutal and does all its work in the lower RPMs……acceleration reminded me (although no first hand experience) like a jet fighter catapulted of the front of an aircraft carrier….
I would have loved to own a RAII Firebird. I understand that they were just plain nasty….
