Awesome Car

This car is awesome. I feel like I am on a Rocket every time I go onto the highway. More powerful than most engines with a supercharger. And the scary part is you can get one for this engine. I love everything about this car but the performance is the best. Rear wheel drive is awesome. Who wants to lay rubber with the front tires anyways. Fast and deadly 1996 black firebird formula with t-tops

I have never enjoyed drving a car as much as I have this Firebird. The handling and maneuveribility of this car is awesome...the pickup is unbeatable...and I even look good while driving around. The gas mileage could be better, but it's not too bad for a V8!

A Riot to Drive, Still Turns Heads!

I purchased this car as a first car, and I could not be more pleased. I have owned it for a little over a year now, and I am still thrilled everytime I head out on the road. It is the V6 model, and all things considered, it is very peppy! With a few tweaks and mods the V6 can really move. Torquey enough to light up the tires as well! Reliability has been great. Nothing out of the ordinary has gone wrong with a car that is ten years old. Replace the fuilds, filters, plugs, gaskets and everything is running smooth. Ride quality is very good, not harsh over bumps, little body roll in the corners. It is much more responsive than my buddy's Mustang. Overall, A great buy!
