1980 Pontiac Firebird Turbo review from North America
"The Firebird shall decimate all"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
A few engine disorders. Headlights blinked out once during a storm, but came back shortly. Audio system a little disappointing.
General comments?
This car was great when I first got it. Faster than any other car I have owned. Like I said, the audio system is disappointing, 8 tracks aren't what I call "high quality".Great car all round, and the local Detroiters love it.
