Wiki says: The Pontiac Firebird is an American muscle car produced by Pontiac from 1967 to 2002. Available with a number of V8 engines, the Firebird has since become a cult classic muscle car.

The Firebird was notably used in the International Race of Champions, billed as "an American motorsport equivalent of an all-star game", with drivers from all forms of motorsport competing in identical cars. Essentially nearly identical to a stock car, IROC Firebirds featured a stock car-style steel tubeframe chassis with fiberglass composite bodywork. All cars used an identical 5.9L Chevrolet V8 restricted to 500 horsepower mated to a Jericho 4-speed manual. Each of the cars was built by Laughlin Racing, and maintained by "a division" of Penske Motorsport. The car saw use from 1996 until 2006, after which the series was put on hiatus and folded. 40 chassis were produced.

The model received a minor update in 2011; the window net was made smaller, as well as made a part of the main window piece. Some minor modifications were made to the base around 2013 with some detail removed. In later years this casting has been known under various names, such as "Firebird", "Pontiac Firebird" or "'98 Pontiac Firebird" with no changes made to the casting itself.

The Firebird featured as car #14 of the Highway 35 anniversary event, driven by Maximo of Team Street Breed. The version seen in the World Race has had its horsepower limit raised to 600.
