96 Firebird

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!

My 96 WS6 Formula

My WS6 Formula is a very nice all around sports car. It is fun to drive and gets lots of attention. It handles very well and has a better ride than the Mustang Cobra and the Camaro SS Z28. I have only had he car back to the dealership 2 times for warranty work which were both recalls. it has been one of the best cars I have owned and I have owned about 30 cars over the years. I will buy another one day when I sell this one. It is a very nice car.

Nice Car

I traded my 1970 El Camino for this 1996 firebird with the LT1 motor in it. The guy before me put on hooker headers, Flow masters, cold air flow, lowered the rear end, put 6 way springs in the front end. This car is a rocket ship! It will blow any stock V8 away. Plus it looks nice and rides like a new car.

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
