1992 Pontiac Firebird Formula review from North America

"It's a amazing car that's reliable that looks cool with decent performance"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Well when I bought the car with 100k miles and the previous owner said that the trans was rebuilt, but the throw out bearing in the t5 trans went it was squeaking like no other. My friend offered to fix it because I bought the car from him so we replaced clutch pressure plate, throw out bearing then 7k miles later the clutch assembly snapped didn't go bad from like riding the clutch it snapped. Trans shop said that happend with beating on it or high performance. I got all new clutch assembly this time with a warranty. The fuel pressure regulator went out at 107k miles no big deal fixed it myself, water pump started leaking at 110,000 miles replaced that myself.

General comments?

Other than some fixes which I expected. This is my daily driver and this 305 5.0 tuned port injection puts out pretty good. supposed 2 have 230 horsepower stock I don't belive it has that anymore, but she does some nice burnouts the 5.0 mustangs are just a tad bit faster. the gas mileage in the city I get about 11 mpg. But other than a little more gas this car is well worth it. I've had it for 2 years already and I will not sell it and with it pushing 112,000 miles it still performs as it should. The piston rings are worn and doesn't hold the perfect amount of compression anymore, but its normal for the mileage and it doesn't leak oil or trans fluid, leaks a little power steering, but who needs power steering lol. The car looks sweet. The comfort is the least of my worries. The worst part is the t tops they leak like no other like if it pours rain I honestly think its dryer outside then inside I need all new weather stripping.
