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!

I've had this vehicle since 2 miles have clicked over on the speedo. Its the RAM AIR edition. I've just rolled the speedo to 203,000 miles. The LT1 is as strong today as when I first drove it home. On the origional engine. Don't even think I took it easy in the car. I've blown the trans twice and the rear once. I've since made modifications to the 1996 standards like a 1999 trans and a BorgWarner rear. Firhawk aluminum drive shaft, SLP headers and a Borla exhaust. With the Hypertec reprogrammer this car still puts out 340+ bhp. Believe me, stock gears and it will out run all the high performance BMWs and other muscle cars at the top end. (160+)

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!
