Pontiac Driving Experiences

The Pontiac Firebird is an American car that was manufactured and sold by Pontiac from 1967 to 2002. It was unveiled on February 23, 1967, alongside GM's Chevrolet division's platform-sharing Camaro, as a pony car to compete with the Ford Mustang.

Smokey and the Bandit was responsible for much of the Firebirds iconography. Released in 1977, the film follows two bootleggers as they try to illegally move 400 cases of Coors beer from Texas to Georgia. The film was a surprise success, grossing $126.7 million in North America from a $4.3 million budget. After Star Wars, it was the second-highest-grossing film of 1977. Aside from Burt Reynolds' outstanding performance, Smokey and the Bandit is often remembered for the Pontiac Trans Am.

You could leave the theatre and buy a Trans Am, but you couldn't leave and buy a Millenium Falcon. Thus the Firebird was the last scream of the 1960s muscle car age, and an instant automobile legend.

As legislation was pushing muscle cars out - it was only Chevrolet and Pontiac who decided to stick with it - producing the Camaro and Firebird. Now - everything about the Trans Am was meant to be loud and brash - this was achieved. From the ridiculously loud engine; exterior shape; beaked grill; fake hood intake; the black and gold styling; the T-Top windows; and the giant firebird across the bonnet - now known as ‘Screaming Chicken’. Even among muscle cars - the Firebird really really really stands out - and that’s why enthusiasts love it.

Experience the thrill of pulling an American muscle car into high speeds. Choose among America's largest and finest muscle vehicles, including the Mustang GT500, Corvette Stingray, Ford Gran Torino, Pontiac Trans Am, Dodge Viper VX SRT, Camaro ZL1, and several more.

Nobody designs vehicles as daring and brash as the Americans. It all comes down to being obnoxious and threatening. Our range of V8-powered American muscle cars provides only that. Try the raucous noises of Burt Reynolds' Bandit or David Hasselhoff's Knight Rider.

When you book a driving experience on a particular day, bear in mind that you are making a reservation request, and the day and period you choose are still subject to availability.

We usually confirm bookings within 48 hours, but we recommend that you wait until you get your final confirmation email before making any decisions about your order.

It is important to note when purchasing an experience that the driver meets both age, weight, height, and driving licence requirements. Since each driving experience has its own requirements.

If an event is just for junior drivers, we usually provide the information in the name, but this is not always the case. If you reserve a driving day and the driver does not fulfil the requirements, they will be given a passenger ride instead. Check out our complete collection of junior driving days.
