Review

This car is not only sexy and fun to drive, but screams off the line. I have the V8 and can smoke most newer cars out there. Love the T-Tops in the summer time, def a head turner.

Favorite Features

Body style, reminds me of a Vette

What a fun car?

Review

Picking up chicks, roaring on main street, gliding threw the curvy back roads like a magic carpet. only a few thing that these car do excellently. most of the v8 Firebirds and Camaros have been BEATEN!!! and are now rusted and have more parts around them on the lawn than in them. If you want a car to burn the rubber off the wheels and leave a strip on the pavement get one with a v8 in it already (specifically a 350 (5.7 L) not a 305 (5.0 L) but if you want a car that you can say "I made this car the way it is" get a v6 (which will not been beaten!!!) and take the time and money to get a great engine and drop it in. the parts that these cars came with were not specifically made for performance

Favorite Features

There's nothing quite like rolling threw town with the T-tops down and embarrassing a mustang

Suggested Improvements

These are not improvement directed towards the manufactures but the consumer* these cars were made right after the emissions and gas crisis so a lot of minor thing have been done wrong in the right ways to make these car good fixer uppers but not pick up and go cars

I love my Firebird. It's awesome looking. It's fun to drive and it's a muscle car. It's got a 305 and is quick! It's awesome.

1990 Pontiac Firebird Formula V8 5.0

Review

The most reliable car I ever had! Made 4 cross-country trips, 9,000 miles each and never let me down. Looks just as good now as the 1st day I bought it! Keeps up with the new imports and leaves the Mustangs in the dust too. Starts in all weather conditions, 120 degrees and 30 below. Very aero-dynamic.

Favorite Features

Body style is sleek. Xtremely reliable!

Suggested Improvements

Install oxygen masks which would deploy upon hitting a certain speed. Your passengers will thank you.

350 F-Body Review

Review

this unit is super quick, fast and strong. remember, a poor or moderate comfort quality rating is a desirable quality in a performance car. the 1990-'92 350 f-body may be the best of all four generations. it produces 340/345 lb/ft of tourqe in standard form.

Favorite Features

factory option slp for the 1990-'92 305 and 350 engines adds 50 hp, 50 lb/ft of torque, and improves 1/4 mile time by one second! yes, the '90-'92 f-body may be the best performer and just maybe the best looking, too. :)

Suggested Improvements

since every creature comfort option adds wieght, and since this is a performance car, the driver air bag would better be left out. a larger gas tank would be better too.
