Re: 1990 1LE SCCA Pontiac Trans Am Sunoco Race Car
Excerpt from the article on the car:
<span style="font-style: italic">"The Firebird 1LE performance package may have gone un-noticed to many people when it was introduced for the 1988 model year but it was a very significant moment for Pontiac - it was the first time that a factory race car had rolled out of the factory since Johnny Mauro's 1963 421 SD Catalina left Pontiac and headed to Pike's Peak. While cars had been built to satisfy various homologation requirements such as the 1969 Firebird Trans Am and the 1986 1/2 Grand Prix 2+2, the 1LE Firebirds were meant for track use."</span>
