1997 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am WS6 review from North America
"Oh yeah!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
New fuel pump, serpentine belt, tires, and water pump. All expected problems.
General comments?
What an awesome car. If you can't handle power, then don't buy one of these. It's got everything, including a chip, shift kit, and Flowmaster duals. It's pushing about 350 hp, and wow does it fly. This is by far the fastest car I've ever gotten for 11 grand. You can take a 30mph curve in this car at 80mph.
