V-8 or v-6 that’s the only decision you need to make. Because they’re two different cars. V-8 cars are Hi Performance Machines period. V-6 cars like mine are not. Yes v-6 cars have surprising power, Yeah they corner great, Yeah they’re great highway cars. All on 87 octane. The V-8 cars need Premium gas. Have High insurance rates. There’s no way to have that power and not use it. Because the car is very fast. So you got to watch out for the cops. Both cars are terrible in the winter. I park mine for the winter months. The v-6 six cars look good, And have decent performance, mines got a great Monsoon 8 speaker stereo. Holds the road like it’s on a rail Great seats, And 30 miles a gallon on the highway. And insurance loves to be v-6 they’re both great cars I’ve had both. If killer performance is your thing then definitely get the V-8. If it looking good is your thing than the V-6 is your car. Remember it goes from 0 to 60 in 7.2 seconds. The Y-87 option on the V-6 cars gave you a 3.42 10 bolt posi, trans Am steering box, dual exhaust, and Four wheel disc brakes This option made the Firebird a great car. Thanks for listening cheers from Ann Arbor.

Im 17 years old, but this is my 3rd car, and is by far the best. It is extremely comfortable to drive, the seats are amazing. The sound system is pristine for being a 14 year old system. I love driving it. Before I got this car, I used to drive my dads car, a 2014 Cruze, every chance I got. I haven't driven his car since I got this car. We replaced the throttle body when we got the car, and haven't had any major issues since then. Its not very hard to work on if you like to work on your cars yourself. All in all, its an amazing car. The only complaint I have is the cupholder. There's only 1 up front, and its not deep enough. Other than that, 10/10. Its great.

I'm an avid GM/Chevy girl. I've had an '86 Firebird for 5 yrs now but when it needed too many repairs all at once, my hubby convinced me we needed a new car. I didn't want a new one, I loved the '86. I'm so glad I gave in.I bought my Fire Engine Red Firebird WS6 pkg used w/39k miles on it and in mint condition. I couldn't believe how perfect this car was. I am a true muscle car lover and this car is awesome. Sadly I was rearended and the frame was bent so the insurance co. totaled it out. It is a very safe car but body repairs are expensive. I never got to take it to the track but next time I will! My hubby promised me another one so I am on the look out for another one, red w/ blk lthr #2.

I have owned several sports cars and this by far is my favorite. From the quick and nimble handling to the snap your neck torque off the line, this car is a winner. The Hurst 6 speed and ram air are great additions and the sound system is incredible. Pop the T-tops and cruise.

This car is a blast to drive. More power than the sane mind would expect. Everyone from 5 to 85 comments on the car. This car gets 25 mpg at 80 mph in 6th gear. Last weekend I folded down the rear seat and hauled home several 4X8 sheets of plywood and 2X4s from Home Depot ... I kept it under 80 for the trip home :)
