Description:

It kept the American hotrod tradition alive through the oil crisis of the 1970s, despite being saddled with horsepower-robbing emissions equipment.

Now, two seasoned racers—friends off the track, and competitors on it—strip away this restrictive equipment and inject the Firebirds with 21st-century power. The premise is simple: FULL THROTTLE selects two teams who are each given the same model of classic car in a similar state of disrepair. They're supplied with a garage, tools, and parts, and after 20 hours of repair time, they battle it out in an old-fashioned drag-race on a certified track. The winner keeps both cars. The loser keeps nothing.

Profiling both the heated head-to-head competition and the fascinating history of this legendary vehicle, FULL THROTTLE takes viewers on a wild ride in the one-and-only 1975 Firebird.
