1986 Pontiac Firebird SHTR review from North America
"A high performance piece of crap (and a bargain too)!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Tranny mount.
Failed DEQ. Disconnected some hoses, and took the air filter out, It PASSED!
Interior is SHOT..
Paint is bad.
Nothing else... SO FAR!
General comments?
A wonderful car! It's great fun!
Have beat the hell outta it, and it's still in one piece, and still runs great!
How many times can YOU jump your car before it breaks? We're STILL countin! and it's in fine shape!
The rear seating "area" is rather cramped.. best for short people..
I'm telling you, we have run tests on this car and it is UNBEATABLE!!
My crew of technicians have literally done EVERYthing in the book to this car, driven over logs, jumps, dips, high speed, low speed, airborne on SEVERAL occasions.. you name it, we have done it... and its still running great!
YOU CAN'T BEAT IT!!
