1991 Pontiac Firebird 2 Dr Formula Coupe

Review

I had always dreamed of owning a 3rd Gen Bird.I finally bought the 5.0 V8 last year. It doesn't dissapoint. Although it has cost a fortune to restore the rewards are great. I havent come across a single person who isn't in love with the looks. A classic and timeless design which is admired everywhere it goes. The V8 sounds sweet and had enough torque to pin you to the seat.I went through my first set of rear tires in a little under a month. Talk about seeing money go up in smoke !! I would recommend this car to anyone. Just make sure your wallet can keep up with the car. It makes me smile and scares the hell out of any passenger. Truly Awesome.

Favorite Features

Looks, performance and the attention it gets. Everyone loves the Bird.

Suggested Improvements

Better fuel economy and nothing else

Incredibly Fun Vehicle to turn the key in...I have added Flowmaster Mufflers and a Fuel Flow chip to increase the Fuel economy and give me more torque to rear end. Nice Car!The Mustang 5.0 Eater.

1991 Pontiac Firebird 2 Dr Trans Am Convertible

Review

I absolutely loved my Trans Am convertible. It was the first car I purchased by myself, for myself; and rode like a dream. Though the performance as compared to todays cars was a little lackluster, it was as close to a real sports car in its technicval simplicity and handling as one could get. The styling is second to none and it always turned heads no matter where I went.

Favorite Features

Styling is really cool and reminded me of the C5 generation Corvette.

Suggested Improvements

Trust me when i say, only have certified mechanics who use G.M. parts work on your G.M. vehicle. I chose to save a little money when having my baby repaired, and it wound up totalling my car.

Review

I find the Pontiac Firebird to be a sadly dying breed of true american muscle...along with the camaro both cars were a symbol...an icon of american muscle...I'll keep my bird for a long time, maybe one day these cars will come back...maybe not...but this is one driver who will alway appreciate these types of cars

1991 Pontiac Firebird 2 Dr Trans Am GTA Coupe

Review

This car can go fast, handle turns, and fuel economy is good. So far no mechanical or body work, other rhan normal service. It has 145,000 miles and still runs strong and is a real tight clean car without the usual F body rattles and squeaks. Would highly reccomend to anyone.

Favorite Features

The favorite feature is the 5.7, 350 ci engine under the hood.

Suggested Improvements

If only the 6 speed manual transmission had been available with the 5.7!

Review

I bought this car when I was 16 with 100,000 mi. on it. Now it has over 200,000 so my experience has been wonderful. Haven't had major problems other than minor things that need replaced after that many miles. The only thing that gave me trouble is the computer, i had to replace it at around 160,000.

Favorite Features

I love the look people give when you're driving down the road. People turn their heads when looking at these cars.

Suggested Improvements

More engine power.

Review

I've heard of other folks loving their Birds and having zero problems. While it is an attractive car, it is somewhat of a reliability risk. And it don't help that the V6 is probably the weakest to come out of Detroit in a while, at least for this type of car. The V6 version only looks fast. I mean, come on, it has a legacy to maintain. I was young, though, when I got it and my dad thought it best that I didn't have a large V8. I don't have room enough to list all problems, but I'll say there were many.

Favorite Features

Low, aggressive stance; killer styling; good ole T-tops; cold A/C

Suggested Improvements

V6 engine power demands increase to match looks; needs faster power windows; needs larger trunk; improve reliability and build quality
