1987 Pontiac Firebird Reviews - Page 6 of 7

I've replaced the heater core.

I've been through 3 alternators.

I went through 4 transmission mounts (this car had one hell of a kick in 2nd gear) and 2 sets of tires.

And of course the usual oil changes and tune-ups.

This car was one mean ride. There was never even one car that stepped up to the plate that could walk away victorious. Unfortunately I sold the car, but in its place I've got a 1993 GMC Typhoon, which keeps my mind occupied most of the time.

The car is mint. No problems with this car. It drives solid and tight. Only problem is the washer fluid pump doesn't work and the interior light does not shut off.

This car is the best!! It turns heads wherever it is, and is quick. For a small V-8 (5.0), it has quite good pickup.

T-Tops also make this car a looker as well as the louvers on the rear hatch with the aerowing spoiler. I just wish it was a standard.

Transmisson, all sensors, hydraulic lifts for trunk and hood, radio, speakers, wheel wells, rear defrosters, washer fluid shooter, cat (doesn't have one know), cruise control, horn, ignition switch, intake gasket, oil cooler, no heat or A/C working.

Other than that the car runs great know with the new transmission - 700R4 with shift kit handles great. Looks good red with chrome and gold honeycomb rims

Fuel pump died.

Incredible performance. 22 mpg around town and never lost a street race (Mustangs, Vettes etc) Handled very well and was a definite head turner. Aftermarket headers and a 3" exhaust made the car sound sweet, and I was always complemented for the sound. Would not think twice about buying another one, very sorry that I sold this one!

Im on radiator #2, and have had a blown intake gasket that was replaced about 2 months ago. Had a bent tie rod after sliding into a curb on ice. The aftermarket 3" exhaust pipe rotted out of the cat and I welded it back on with a new flange. The drivers seat has tears along the side, fixed that problem with seat covers. Air was recently recharged. It also runs hot in the summer, about 10 degrees hotter than usual, but that's probably normal.

This is a great handling car. Very dependable. Great overall car. If you wanna have fun, get one w/ T-tops and go! They sound excellent with sound system upgrades ie. new head unit with amp and subs. A real head turner when its cleaned and waxed -- arrest me red with black and chrome honeycomb rims. Just don't drive it with the air on, it robs too much horse power.
