I love my car. I never have to worry about being stuck behind a slow driver. Push the gas and go. This car gets geat mileage for a V8, I average 380 per tank. The only downfalls are,is it's too low for my mom to get in and out of easily and there are blindspots from the A posts. I would rather line this car in plastic when I have kids than get rid of it. Best car I've ever owned.

This is my third Pontiac Firebird in a row. Yes, that's right. I started with a 1992, 1997 and now a 2001. All gave good performance, were fun to drive, held their value and easy on the wallet. I have only owned the 2001 4 months. The drive shaft and fuel pump failed on the 97. I was costly to repair, but managable, largly because of the dealership..

All I have to say is this car is great!! I have owned many sportscars most of them turbocharged. I love turbos but theres nothing like instant raw muscle horsepower and torque 330hp and 360 ft/lbs of torque under your foot. Tire-Smokin Heaven, The women cant get enough. If want to attract a lot of attention especially women & the bogus pony riders wont leave me alone. This is the car for you. It's such a shame we have to say goodbye!! I'm sure GM will having something Hot in store for us to AWWWW at! God Bless!!!!

This car is the most fun to drive of any production car I have purchased in my 54 years. Drive this one you will buy it.

I've owned a V6 camaro, a Z28, and now this Trans Am, and it is by far MUCH faster and has a lot more power than the Z28. It's got plenty of power, yet can be refined enough for city driving. Not to mention this is just a beautiful car. The leather in the car is top notch, my only complaints are with the traction control system. It does work, but it's not very effective performance-wise. It decelerates the engine for too long of a time and does not enhance performance, unlike the 350Z that I sell whose traction control system is beyond par. Otherwise, this car has more power than any other car you can buy for this amount of money. Period. And the great looks, dependability, 4.5 out of 5 star
