1997 Pontiac Firebird formula review from North America
"This is what I call a muscle car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I needed a new motor for the headlights.
I had a anti-freeze leak.
The car ran very hot, had to have the timing fixed on the fans.
General comments?
This was my first car I had and I still have it, and besides the few problems I had with it, I love the car and I wouldn't trade it for anything else.
The car has a lot of power and the suspension is excellent.
