1986 Pontiac Firebird Trans-Am review from North America
"A great example of AMERICAN MADE muscle car"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
heater core went about 2yrs after purchase.
General comments?
This car is an overall great car.
Good mileage, great performance.
Handling is good except rear end is kinda light.
Very fast with stock engine parts.
Faster with upgraded parts.
A little hard to work on engine, not a whole lot of room for tools to get into
tight spots.
Great car for burning up the track!
