This is my 2nd LT-1 and overall it's been a great motor. I have replaced distributors in both ('92Vette) and it's $1100-1500 to fix. Coolant comes into AC and smells, gets HOT if fan is off and leaks(no one can find it) transmission fluid. Great Car, No real problems..my automatic(faster than the stick!) is one of the best trannys ever made. 17mpg avg w/about 21-23Hwy on trips. If you stand on the gas, you're gone. Chirps NEW tires going into second and still beats the NEW mustangs off the line. Low end torque is a B-E-A utiful thing! GO GM!

WOW - what a car. To cut to the chase, if you can find one of these vehicles that hasn't been flogged to death by a snot-nosed kid and was properly maintained, it's an absolute bargain. For about the cost of a new Yugo back in '86 you can have Corvette level performance and handling, and in my opinion - exceptional looks (I prefer the T/A to the Vette of a similar vintage). Sure the ride is somewhat stiff, the plastics are typical GM, exterior panel fit varies wildly, and fuel economy suffers because it's soooo much fun to rip to 6,000 rpm on occasion, but who cares - you'll smile every time you drive it, and that is a quality that's hard to put a price tag on. LT1 engine is phenomenal!!

My firebird is equipped with a 3.8 L v6, t-tops and and some nice rims and i am very happy with it.The power is amazing. I put headers, cold air intake and did some head work to mine and it will rip the tires off. The fuel economy is great. This car is all around fun to drive. The only reason I would sell this car is to by a v8 model.

overall, i have had lots of fun with this vehicle. It is very fast and has the power when needed especially with the 6-spd transmission. i change the oil on a regular basis and i take care of so that it can last me a very long time. The only thing with these tras ams is that you pretty much have t live with the oil leaks that occur. you will not be able to avoid it since so much power creats lots of pressure thus causing oil leaks.
